[hollyquaiscer]

great job, you're off and running now, we won't be able to hold you back

[Melaneyb-h]

Thanks guys, I did better percentage wise on 2 transactions I have done before (got freebies and such) but they were smaller, this was my first big haul to build up my stockpile. I figured anything above 50% means I did pretty decent. I appreciate everyones feedback!

[jchandler]

Takes a lot of organizing, eh? Great job!

[quebecqueen]
