    Do you buy or trade?
    In general no. I am only selling out from the inventory of old long-time collection and dont buy new items for the purpose of re-stock and selling. in rare cases it can happen that I am open to trades, if there is something that I really, really like and wish to keep. And on the condition we can make a mutual and fair agreement, that we both are happy with.
