    *Puts arm around jgon's shoulder* We know, we're sad too. There are a few things I want to import at the moment, but I can't bring myself to do it because I know that if I buy them now, the dollar will go through some form of miracle recovery causing me to lose a lot of money, but if I don't it'll just keep dropping to taunt me. It plots against us I tell you!

    Yeah mate I really wanted to wait it out, I personally feel it'll come back, but then again it may not.

    I ended up paying because, well it was an offer package I couldnt refuse...

    MISB G1 Snarler, MIB G1 Grotusque with insert, MOSC G1 Goldbug, G1 Divebomb box with postage included...

    The misb snarler was already enough for the 220, the rest, well their basically just throw ins... i'l take em!!!

    Hrm... our markets were more circumspect today so it depends on what happens on wall street over the next few days. If they're positive, then we can expect a big immediate surge but I think Aussie and Asian investors have gotten a lot wiser in the last few days and not followed Wall Street's lead straight away. Better to see where it all pans out rather than just rushing blindly. Hopefully that's good news the AUD yet
