Very true, luckily most auctions I see on Ebay ship worldwide, or are willing to ship to me when I ask.
As for setting goals. I originally started with the goal to collect all military issue Ontario M9's, but I am already nearly complete in that area. Missing only one!
Now my immediate goal is to complete my collection of military issue Phrobis M9's. I am going to pass the very rare and prototypes for now. I am still missing some, and also have to replace one or two that aren't completely in mint condition. I am receiving an absolutely perfect condition Gen 2 any day now.
My roommate is going to take some pictures tomorrow of my current collection. I will post these in the appropriate sub fora as soon as possible
Best regards,
Menno
