neilm, top geezer thank you, by insite on Feb 20, 2008 13:49:40 GMT 1, Hello all, some of you may have noticed that I had a bit of a hankering to get a D*Faced Green Lady on the wall for a while. When it came out I was pretty skint and missed the release so thought it wasn't to be.

Anyhow with the Christmas slump in prices I decided to try and get one as cheap as I could manage. A few weeks ago I tried swopping a Cli-Che, no luck, then I tried selling the Cli-Che to raise some cash for one, no luck. Then, luckily, I got chatting to neilm who had a GL up for sale, after a bit of light hearted negotiating he agreed to sell it me for cost. Now this was a few weeks ago before prices started to rise but I was still skint and needed to raise the cash so set to selling some stuff I wasn't going to frame. neilm gave me all the time I needed, a couple of weeks becoming more like 3 and a bit, at no point did he use this as an excuse to try and back out despite a couple of theses prints going for £500 (an extra £150 which he could have had)

neilm doesn't post here much and so doesn't have the automatic trust that some long term members have however I found him a pleasure to deal with and also an honourable seller who stuck to his word and didn't just go for an easy cash in. It would have taken nothing for him to refuse to sell and then create a new account and I'd have been none the wiser.

I know neilm is selling stuff to raise money to buy Micallef, if anyone's not sure whether to do a deal with him as he's not a very active member then please take this as a reference or feel free to mail me. I've done my bit let's help him get a Mic up so he's as happy as me.

Pez, she'll be all framed up and ready for pride of place on your living room wall just in time for your Birthday
