However, completely losing a cel package (which 
happened to be my most expensive purchase EVER) 
is much worse than receiving it destroyed.  
Because at least the insurance claim process 
should move much faster.  My big (and last) cel 
purchase was lost back in DECEMBER and the 
Japanese Post Office still has not issued my 
insurance money.  Why?  Because the US Post 
Office cannot track the damn package and will not 
provide any information to the Japanese Post 
Office.  No records, no tracking = no money back.

CURRENTLY STILL WAITING...

Well, at least I feel better when I get blown 
away for a wish list auction, because it would 
definitely sting me a lot more if the auction 
ended just barely outside my reach.

As for competing against a cel dealer, now we 
know that we chose the wrong occupations, eh?

As for loser newbies on the board who decide to 
insult or kick people while they're down... they 
don't last long because either they'll learn to 
be decent human beings or us regular visitors to 
the board can make life equally hospitable for 
them...

So I raise my glass (er, bottle--er, empty 
bottle) in a toast to the great common man cel 
collector spirit!  And drunk or sober, I 
definitely know you feel as well...

Hiccup!
