KILOWARE (on paper) MIXTURES - SECRETS REVEALED!!

FACT no. 1. Reason why you buy KILOWARE mixtures! - You are seeking a low cost method of acquiring stamps to grace the pages of your stamp album.- You are willing to work harder ( soaking required ) than the collector who is only buying off-paper stamp mixtures.- You have gaps in your collection that could be filled from this kiloware mixture available on okay.- You do not wish to spend hard earned currency on mixtures that could contain damaged stamps.- You are looking for recently postmarked issues, not currently available from your current stamp club, where you meet every month.- You are looking to acquire duplicates, so that you can trade with your fellow collectors.- You are looking for high values, which currently you cannot find from any other source.FACT no. 2. Reason why I sell KILOWARE mixtures!- I have a source that supplies me with recently postmark issues, which other okay SELLERS cannot access.- My sources have a limited supply of freshly postmarked issues which they provide to me. It is QUITE limited.- I visit many stamp clubs and many kiloware mixtures are being offered for sale, usually via sale by tender.- I am trying to help those collectors, who have purchased a kiloware mixture, have taken what they want and now want to recoup some of their costs.- I know that, not everyone, as I, have access to these mixtures, so I buy and on-sell them via okay auctions.- I enjoy working with stamps and all their intricacies therein.FACT no. 3. MISDAVENTURES THAT RELATE TO PURCHASING KILOWARE MIXTURES(I have read what the others are saying on okay, and here is a synopsis of what irks everyone!!)- Some mixtures have heavy duplication, with the same small definitive stamp represented in quantity.(the sellers failed tro mention that in their description)- Some okay sellers show the same scan, all the time and state that your stamps will be slightly different.( the reason that they do that is that they want to list many items quickly. So hence they are saving time) - Some sellers place the high value stamps on top, and so initimate that there may be more hidden.( buyers find that there are no surprises, except that the remaining ( unshown stamps) are very gemon issues)- Some sellers charge a high SHIPPING

Used car buying on s. Short term

In the beginning of september 2003, I was specifically looking for an atmost 3-4 yr. old Honda accord 4-dr sedan with leather and manual transmission. I found 2 locally, one was black (already have a black car) and the other was gold both of which colors I was trying to avoid. Then I found 3 such cars on okay motors. Two of those 3 sellers didnt have enough strong feedback for me to trust them. The third seller wasmaugillman who seemed to have quite a few good feedback. On further investigation it turned out that this guy is a Dealer salesman based in Austin. ActuallyGillman Auto turned out to be the biggest auto dealership in Austin TX. So I called up the guy and negotiated for about 5 mins. and I got the car for the price I wanted and he seemed to be happy about the price. Auction closed on 09/03/03.Next few days went very smoothly while I sent him the check and he sent me the papers for me to sign. Anyway paperwork was done, and I decided to drive the car down to the San Francisco Bay area from Austin. I didnt want to risk it with the shipping gepanies since it was driveable distance.Now the fun began. We flew to Austin on 09/13/03, Saturday. Wilson (name changed for anonymity) had been informed and he picked us up at the airport. Everything was ready, we saw the car was exactly as pictured on the auction. Well, it had 58000 miles on it, so the obvious car door bumps etc. were there which werent very clear in the pictures but werent exactly unexpected.So we were on road within an hour witha full tank of gas, courtesy of Gillman Auto. We were planning to drive about 620 miles the first day and stay in Las Cruces, NM. We drove on I-10 W no problems for about 8 hrs. to reach our Motel in Las Cruces. Had a good night's sleep. Got ready next morning to check out and have breakfast an leave. Guess what?? The car wouldnt start. Everything looked good under the hood, it sounded like a dead battery. We checked all the lights and we hadnt left any lights on cos, the headlights have this alarm which rings when you try to leave the car with the headlights on. And all the interior lights were also off since we locked the car at night. Anyways, we got AAA to jump start our car and fortunately there was a Wal-mart right behind the motel. We took the car there and they ran a load test and it said.. -unstable battery- At this point we had already lost about hour and a half when we had 1200 miles of drive ahead of us. We were mad and disappointed. At that point we could have given him a negative feedback on okay if we had a geputer nearby...we were that mad. All sorts of things crossed our minds. Did the dealer rip us off? etc.. I called Wilson's cell phone and left him a voice message about this problem. It was a Sunday and he was off that day. But he returned my calls anyway. I talked to him later that day after we got back signal on our cellphone.Anyway, we bought a new battery and we were on our way. We crossed the desert through Hwy 180 cutting from I-10 to I-40. It was a lonely road and at times could get a little scary if we werent driving a Honda. Anyway after about 1000 miles we got into California and it was very late in the night. So we stopped on I-5 past Bakersfield and finished the rest of the drive next morning.Now, it was monday and I wanted to get a car-wash before showing it to friends and co-workers. So I was waiting in line for the car-wash and the coolant temperature guage started rising slowly and steadily, almost all the way up. As soon as I revved the engine it came back down. Anyway, I got scared and turned off the engine, got a car-wash and went to work. There I thought I'd check the coolant level. Popped the hood, and there was no coolant. I then added some water and some coolant. After doing this I didnt see the temperature rise again. But anyway, I believed what I saw and called a couple of Honda service shops. I scheduled an appt. with one of the auto-repair chain shops next morning. For $34, they told me that the coolant pump was bad and needed to be replaced along with other stuff. estimate about $600. - And oh.. while you are down there why dont you get the timing belt fixed too?I called a reputed repair shop in Milpitas and they told me that it was unusual for a Honda to have a bad pump at 60k miles. So I took it to them the next morning. They actually found the right problem.. leaking O-ring seals from the pipe behind the water pump. Estimate $474.I called Wilson at Gillman Auto and explained the problem and he was amazingly nice about the whole thing. He apologized for the inconvenience and offered me the reimbursement. At this point I have to mention this. I dont think that I saved a whole lot by purchasing the car from Austin, but I got the kind of car I was looking for and even if I had found the same car locally at any private party or local dealer, there was no chance in hell I could have gotten any free repairs after sale. Any other seller would easily walk away from any responsibility, since it was an as is no warranty sale. Today, 09/29/03 I have received a check from Gillman Auto for the full reimbursement of the battery replacement, coolant leak repair and disgnosis.I cannot say enough good words for Wilson (not his real name) and Gillman Auto and I thought that 80 chars on okay feedback wouldnt be enough, so I made wrote this guide to share my whole experience.Now for the long-term experience. I am now at 104K miles. Got the timing belt

Stop Pirated Clothing Sellers in Their Tracks With This

Pirated clothing is a problem on okay, but one question will stop questionable sellers in their tracks.It's not just a matter of whether the clothing is authentic. Although there are many fakes being sold, a little research can usually identify these items. The material and workmanship are not usually the same quality as the real thing, and often there are small differences in the measurements or design.The real problem is whether or not the item is licensed from the gepany who designed it.Even the seller may not realize that their product is illegal. They may have done their homework and verified that the item matches all the required specifics of the real thing. However, they may be purchasing from a supplier who buys unauthorized product from the same factory as the brand-name gepany.Let's say Brand-X gepany hires Factory-Y to build their design. Factory-Y builds the clothing and delivers it, and Brand-X is happy. But now Factory-Y knows how to make Brand-X's product, and has all the materials, so they sell some to Distributor-Z. That's fine and dandy for Factory-Y, but since Distributor-Z isn't paying anything to Brand-X (and therefore gets the product real cheap), Brand-X has just been ripped off; their name and design has been stolen.Distributor-Z can now sell these brand-name clothes to an okay seller at a ridiculously low price. It looks like a great profit maker for the seller, they can afford to sell the clothes for less than half of what the department stores can.The okay seller thinks they're selling the real thing, the okay buyer thinks they're buying the real thing. But Brand-X hasn't gotten a penny from the product that they designed and promoted. Also, how can Brand-X keep their accounts with Big-Department-Store-Chain-A if the same clothes are sold on okay for a fraction of their retail value?So the question to ask isn't whether the clothes are authentic or not, but if they gee from a licensed distributor. The jeans, polo shirt or whatever may look like the real thing, and maybe the department store prices really are too high. But the fact is Brand-X deserves the right to control the product they've designed, both the price and the method of distribution. Obtaining brand-name clothing through any other means is both illegal and unethical.

Brewing Iced Coffee At Home- A Delicious Summer Treat

I love coffee, in any of its forms-hot, cold, smoothie, candy... But
what I don't love is paying $3-$4 for a cup of iced coffee. All the
coffeeshops (yes, including the donut franchise) charge way too much
for coffee, especially if they throw in some ice cubes. But brewing
iced coffee at home is quite simple and easy to customize for your own
tastes.

Rinse and clean your coffeemaker, and a big pitcher (8 cup size).

Put enough Ground Coffee into the maker to make 9 cups of coffee
(9 cups x 2 tablespoons a cup= 18 tablespoons of ground coffee). Put in
enough Fresh Water to make 4 cups. When you measure your coffee to be
iced, use this proportion 2x the coffee as water, with an extra serving
of grinds for good measure. Brew the coffee
Fill the pitcher about 1/3 of the way with ice. Dump your freshly
made pot of coffee over the ice. Put the whole pitcher in the
refrigerator.

If you like sugar in your iced coffee, put some in a small
tupperware and pour some plain boiled water to make liquid sugar and
sweeten your iced drink. That saves the trouble of stirring llike crazy.
Serve each cup over ice.


Feel free to make this how you want it- Sweet N Low and Half and Half, Decaf with soy milk and extra sugar....
Cost for a whole pitcher-
$2 worth of the Mermaid Coffee- and theirs is costly
25 cents worth of sugar ( I mean, or just steal some packets from the diner)
$1 worth of milk- I used tons of milk, each iced coffee was 1/2 milk.
water is free, ice is just frozen water, so its free...
----- less than $3 for 8 small iced coffees (more if you take milk). Or
try three 20 ounce iced coffees, with a bit to spare, for $3- each
would cost $3 at the Mermaid, or $2.75 at the Donut.

Buy a High Quality Birkin , Kelly, Kelly Part V

9) Firmness of the bottom



For a good Birkin it should stand up on the table with only the 4 pins touching the table.
