When buying ordnance and such I have always tried to get the best deal possible (guess i'm cheap). When a collection gets to a point that it takes a rarer piece to really round out a collection (pieces that cannot be had cheap) then the time comes for a decision to dig deep in the pocket book or not. I feel my collection would fare well with the addition of a couple of rare WW1 German grenades, which incidently I found at what I would call a fair price taking the rarity of these pieces into account. I have tried to add a piece or two to my collection every month, and say if a piece costs 100.00 or so I figured why not save up for some months and get 2 grenades that would enhance my collection many fold. Well I did it, items are paid for and en-route from Germany. I don't know why i'm even posting this, guess I am still trying to justify in my mind what I have spent. I did it by saving the amount and did not have to dip into family funds. When these 2 WW1 German grenades arrive, you'll be the 2nd to know. The wait is a nerve racking business. I think that I will be doing it more, I mean keep from buying anything for a while, put the saved monies into my ordnance account and should be able to pick up some stuff i've desired for some time. It is hard to not buy something when I get paid once a month, kind of like going through alcohol withdrawl. Always remember control your collection and don't let it control your life. That was my 2 bits worth for June 29th 2010. Good health and peace to all...Dano
