And in any event I have reserves whom will gladly take Minus459's place and do a swap with you. I see Grommet has already put up his hand.
So let's just wait and see if we can find what minus459 is up to. If we hear nothing we will go to plan B - Never fear we'll get your successful swap rate up marginally above 66%

Thanks Stevo, you're welcome.
Received Stevo81's (Marty) package on Friday and have only just managed to get behind a camera to show off my booty.
Stevo has done absolute justice to his home made, cast acrylic, black pigment dye with interference gold blank which is wrapped around a gold cigar. And what a stunner the pen is! Stevo has obviously gone to a lot of work to produce this pen. The fit and finish are superb and I couldn't be happier. He's also sent me some of his home made cast blanks which I'm looking forward to get stuck into.
Thanks mate, bloody brilliant

I sent my package to my partner a few days before I left for China. It will be two months before I get back to Sydney.
I have people staying at the house so all is sweet. |
