You know - there's nowt so queer as folk! That's a UK (probably Yorkshire) saying - and it is SO true! We all complain about "bad" dealers/eBay sellers - but we don't often mention good ones. Here in the UK I bid on some discs (at 49p each - about 70c). I bid for 6 and the seller said he was selling 'em because he'd mistakenly thought they were LDs - and having bought them, he couldn't find a CED player. Anyroadup, I was very pleased and touched when he sent me a message saying he'd slipped few more in - which turned out to be 20 more!! He said they might be useful to 'skellaway' whose plight was posted here and whom I had mentioned to '1959hermit' (the eBay seller). Wasn't that kind??
Cheers, David E.

He was a very nice guy when I messaged him. It's truly great to find such genuinely nice people in the world, I raise a drink to them!

What a nice person! A few years ago, I was updating my Star Trek collection to DVD and I mentioned it on a Trek Forum. There as a Trekkie on there who sent me a PM telling me he had 2 copies of Enterprise Season 1 and he sent me season one! FREE! He even paid the shipping. I thought that was so nice:)
