geris, i am sorry you are taking this path, but completely understand as well. i am sure many of us will do the same in the future.
to those with any hesitation, i bought several of geris items a few years ago [tobu spacia, some of my favourites!!] and he was wonderful to deal with on an intl level. i recall no issue with delivery time frame or insufficient packaging.
if i could afford to, i would be all over your pm's, bud. am hooked into lego trains at the moment instead, havent added plarail for a little while now.
i wish you and your family all the best, and please dont be a stranger here. even if you are mostly selling up, your knowledge and presence are still very highly valued here.
