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' :thumbsup:

Thank you Kris! Your official welcome to geekdom will fly tomorrow. :biggrin:

It's on the way!

Um, Kris... I gave you a little advice in the other thread.  I'm going to do so again:  Open your mailbox very slowly in the next few days and if you have kids, a significant other, pets, etc. keep them away from unopened boxes delivered to you home. :-0
 
This should be good... and fun!  :cigarman:
