As you may know I got a response from a Mark who likes Toy Hunter. I had to do a quick response as I was on a friends computer. Here is my full response to Mark.

Sorry I could not respond on the trip, but I had limited access to the internet. I could not use the hotel’s internet as my wife Laurie would not let me use it after the last time we visited London. I called a friend from our hotel room. What I did not know because his number was a mobile number the hotel charged our 40 pounds ($32.00), which I had to fight. There are internet cafés, but you have to be careful of malware or spyware. Also the last internet café we visited, while I was using the internet, Laurie was watching other people who were using the internet going to pro Osama Biden Lama sites. She was very happy when we got out of there. I was able to use a friend’s computer to do a quick check of email and my web site. I gave you a quick response now for my full response.
I was surprised that Jordan paid lower than the going price on Ebay. Jordan has a tendency to pay higher than the going price on items. That he sold them for a price lower than EBay and you got them great.
As to your other comment that the show has to be entertaining it is not. I find myself bored and if I was not blogging about it I would pass on it. The writing is terrible. I have been very annoyed on some of the things that Jordan has done especially when he took that Kiss view master out of the hands of a collector. Stage or not it was totally wrong. There are other things that Jordan has done, and I have not enjoyed how he hogs the spotlight. Is attempt to snare stars has been pitiful. The items he showed with the one exception to Gene Simmons were rookie mistakes, not a professional with suppose 25 year’s experience. Jordan has not done a flea market or regular toy show in his area until this year. This is our bread and butter, Mark do you realize how many great finds have come from toy shows and flea markets, it is astounding.
So if you enjoy the show fine, I cannot as I have seen behind the curtain and it is not pretty.
