Kris (Machine646) posted a thread a couple of days back asking for someone to do a small trade. I offered to do a blind trade hoping to make his first geek trade experience a fun one.
Firstly I was very impressed that Kris responded to my PM asking for any tips/guidance on the proper way to conduct a geek trade. I noted that it would be good if he sent first, made sure to pack the box well, include a boveda if he had one, etc...
Not only did Kris hit me with a DC# the next day, pack the box extremely well, include a boveda the size of my palm, BUT he also seems to have the same problem the rest of us around here have. He cannot add. I asked for 5, and I got 7.
Kris, this is the last part (and some would say most important) of a successful trade... The picture.
As you can see, I got smacked with a GH, couple fuentes, Gurkha, RyJ, VS, and a highly coveted Opus xXx 'Power Ranger'
Thank you Kris! Your official welcome to geekdom will fly tomorrow.
