    Congrats on a great score, Derek.
    And correct me if I'm wrong, but you had $1,500 stashed away for this guy for 5 years and you only paid about $500 now. So... $1,500 + intrest for 5 years - $500 = Mego party

          I actually stashed $1000 away for it. That's why I kept passing on the $1500 items I found. But...I didn't put into an interest bearing account until about 2 and half years had passed. I kept thinking "I will find one, I will find one,...." When that didn't happen, I finally did invest the money.

          All in all, after the final cost plus shipping...I have a little over half the initial money I put back, and my wife has laid claim to it for something she has been eyeing

            Glad you finally got a piece of nostalga that you wanted, Derek, and at a reasonable price! That's always an added bonus! It's great to be able to relive your childhood memories!
            sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
