When I was building my collection, I did a fair bit of online shopping in the UK (mostly London, which has the deeper discounts (by comparison, deep is a relative term)) Best prices are US, Japan, and Portugal (not so much for deep cut, but mostly rarer stuff collectors are selling off—some surprisingly cheap for what they’re offering). The nice thing about getting the collection close to where I want, I could slow down at get fussy, looking for the great bargains. Anyway, love Edinburgh, though the weather isn’t all that, but the city has loads of charm. How long you planning on being there, oh Wandering One? Best, R.E.F.
