I already do -- although I can't order from Amazon.ca, I can order from .com. I think the biggest issue is figuring out a reasonable income price for my services, relative to local ordering. I can't personally survive off of a 10% rate, waiters and waitresses get bigger tips than that -- BUT it does seem pretty reasonable for local orders. Likewise, I might have to do some additional thinking regarding my international order income. However, I'm not looking to do this to turn a profit in Gillian Seed's case. I mean I *could*, if it meant somehow that his US/Canada customers wouldn't have to spend so much on shipping. If it would be cheaper to package all of his US/Canada orders, and have them sent to my address, it could be manageable depending on how many US/Canada customers he gets. Divide the cost of our collective shipping costs per customer; theoretically, say the total shipping comes out to $60 or so, and say we have about 6 US/Canada customers. Each customer would only be paying $10 shipping. The package would be delivered to me on a set date, and the following business day I'd have the individual packages delivered to the customers. This *could* benefit Gillian Seed's international customers as well? It's just a theory, though. If Gillian Seed and I could put our heads together, I'm sure we could come up with some extremely reasonable shipping rates! That is all assuming of course, that a 5 lb package doesn't actually infact cost five times as much as a 1 lb package -- that would just defeat the purpose, I imagine.

While I get paid on the 14th, my sister would like me to consider spending the money on Christmas for everyone else (not myself) -- I also get paid on the 28th, so would you be okay with holding onto Romancia until then?

As long as I can send the game before I come back to Paris, there's no problem

Well, I talked to my mom, as I said I would in the PM, but she says her Paypal account isn't open. You can take my stuff off of hold. Good luck to the one who buys the items, hope you like 'em

Preparing myself for christmas holydays. I have a few hours left before I take the train. You won't be able to choose any game/cd/book from the first list until my return in January. I'll send your orders starting from monday (or tuesday). Be sure to be home to answer any PM. I'll also add a lot of books/cds/missing items this weekend. Be sure to watch these lists before I send anything or else you'll miss some great opportunities ! (It would be a good idea to take guides or artbooks associated to the games you want for example ;-))

Hey Gillian, I'm passing through Paris in January. Could I get a game directly from you? I'm interested in Ys Origin.

So, I'm close to the biggest part of my collection now. I'll add some more items in the few hours (or maybe yesterday). If you want to add more items to your list (for those who already have one), just tell it in this thread. The first person to post will be the one to get the item. If you think you're done, then please PM again with your address and tell me if you prefer colissimo, economic or chonopost. If you choose colissimo and if you order many items, I will try to choose the best option (colissimo prepaid package may reduce the price). Also, I'm not sure that I'll be patient enough to go and wait to the post office twice, so I may send the items before even telling you the shipping fees. It means that you'll have to pay the shipping fees whatever the price is (or at least you accept that). I wonder if you think it's a good idea. Good points : 1°) You'll get the item sooner 2°) I won't loose precious time and gas (I need a car) just to go back to the post office a second time. (I won't have to take all these items in and out twice too ! For information : we have a lot of rain this week). Bad points : you may choose to refuse to pay the shipping fees. Well... You'll pay the items first, then I'll send you a message with a scan of the shipping fees that you'll have to pay in euros. If I have to pay shipping fees for you, then I'll probably loose quite a lot of money. So... Whatever you think is the better idea, just post a few ideas here if you have some. Not to mention that I'll probably use some money to buy boxes/envelope/etc., I'll loose a few bucks for the paypal commission and for the $ to € conversion, etc... Well ! Let's add a few audio cds first !

Could you please hold Sorcerian (PCE), Ys IV (PCE), Ys III (PCE), LoH II (PCE), and Brandish (PCE) for me too? You wouldn't happen to have Ys IV (PS2) or Ys V (PS2), would you?

Oh mi!!!! You finally updated the books section. ..... T_____T ......You wouldn't possibly be willing to consider accepting money through Western Union too, would you...? No?

Sorry, there's no bank where Western Union is available close to me for two weeks.
