The longer I've been a member on this forum, the more I realize how great this community is.
Every week or so, we hear another story about a member being ever so generous, and I'm sure we all like doing the same for others.
@nichj99 being given a 1/1 Faried by @theflyinggerco springs to mind.
My own experience of late, might not have been as financially fruitful, but meant just as much. It was a couple of weeks ago, when I contacted @West Oz Cards cos I was told he pulled an Ingles noir /99 rc. I basically said 'name your price, and I'll take it', but instead he sent me the card for nothing.
ok. ok. Those people not tracking Ingles sales, might think "so what? a $2 Ingles...." WRONG! There are a whole bunch of sellers in the US exploiting Ingles' Aussie fame, and his Noir rc's were selling for $35US-$50US in the first week! Its settled down now of course, because there are only so many Ingles PC'ers out there, but @West Oz Cards could have chosen to make a quick buck, and didn't, and that is what is GREAT about this hobby.
That's why I wanted to start this thread;
1. To acknowledge the awesomeness of the generous members on here, and
2. To show how you (in your own time) eventually tried to 'pay it forward' to another member on here.
Firstly let me state, this is NOT about trying to one up each other, or do you need to think that your gesture is any less, than what was gifted to you. It's just a feel good thread to show what this forum is all about... The Hobby!
Too many scoundrels out there trying to rip off PC collectors, or running eBay 'didnt recieve my item' scams. Lets remind ourselves that this website has no place for those things and those people.
I know most people on here are thinking that they'd rather be silent in there generous gestures, but I think it's important to create some positivity on here, to sit in amongst all the horrible stories we see from time to time. @edac6942 I'm looking at you
I'll start;
