After reading few replies about Taras, it had come to my mind that they

	* are being GREEDY
	* can't be trusted
	* don't deserved our business
	* are treating us like the HSC or QVC consumer
	
I have bought few stuffs from dealers or collectors on the nets and they gave
me a great service and prices.  Now, with Taras, in which I never deal with, I
suggested that you ignore them and don't buy anything from them.

If anyone selling something like that, I would always check the Beckett price
guide to see if they are selling the market prices.  If they do sell WAY ABOVE
the market prices then they don't deserved my business AT ALL!

I know that Beckett is a little behind but the helpful hint to see if it is the
market price, you should go to the local card show or local card store, every
weekend if there is one nearby.

This is one of my rare time that I posted ADVICE on this topic because I
usually posted what I want to buy or if any dealers/collectors is selling the
sets that I wanted.

OK, We've all seen the new Elvis postage stamps. Well while
    watching the news on the day the stamps were released I
    saw a person waiting in line at the post office. She was
    wearing a watch that looked like the Elvis stamp. Has

I made a mistake of _attempting_ to buy something from Taras some time
ago.. In a nutshell, I send check, I never receive cards, I attempt to
contact Taras for several months without luck, I inform the net about
the run-around.  Taras finally contacts me back, and after  long
'discussion' I finally get my money back.

The moral of the story?  DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TARAS LAWRIW!!!
You're taking a very big risk.  I have traded/bought/sold on the net
before and I have never encountered the crap I had to deal with
when it came to Taras.

Just my opinion... your milage may vary...

   Movie star splinter w/plastic painted nose (not fuzzy)
   The orange stripped April with out "press" on her shirt
   ANY figure that contains the pop-up mutant display stand
   rahzar with pink highlights on his nose and eyes (not black)

Older turtles I want :
   April with no stripes
   Any of the 4 original turtles with the membership application enclosed
   Leatherhead
   Foot soldier (first card only : has 10 figures shown on back)

5th anniversary turtles I want :
   Anthrax
   Scale Tail
   Ninja April
   April with purple accents on her clothes

I also want to purchase other action figures from the 60's 70's 80's and 90's

Hi David.  Well, there was nothing in the original post about 10 card
lots.  But if they are, the prices come closer that's for sure.

Doesn't it seem kind of strange, though, that this Taras Lawris individual
hasn't responded (either to e-mail or to the postings)?  I mean to say,
if I were post something for sale, I would keep a pretty close
eye on both my mail box and the newsgroup.  
 
Hey, Taras.  This isn't a lynch mob.... clear up our understanding of 
what you posted.

          Source: Linn's Stamp News

          There are two ways to order FDC's directly from the USPS.

           1.  Buy the stamp or stationary item (stamped envelopes,  postal
               cards,  etc.)  at your local post office or philatelic sales
               center.  Put the stamp on a  self-addressed  envelope  (with
               sufficient  other  postage  to  make  29c).   Send  it under
               separate cover to:

                    Customer Affixed Envelopes
                    Postmaster
                    City, State, and Zip code-9991

           2.  Send the full cost of the item  (including  makeup  postage)
               along with a self-addressed envelope to:

                    Name of Issue
                    Postmaster
                    City, State, and Zip code-9992

               Remember that postal stationary usually  costs  a  bit  more
               than the postage.

          Deadlines for FDC's are usually 30-60 days from  date  of  issue.
          And they mean days, not the same date one or two months later.

Just to show how price guides can vary, in _Tomart's Price Guide
to Garage Sale Gold_ a Zorro watch from 1950, with a black face,
is listed at $100-$350.  Obviously that's a wide range.  Tomart's
prices are for watches in extra fine condition to mint condition
with the original mint box.  (In other words, if you don't have the
box it came with, in perfect condition, look at the low end of the
range.)

    You're right, I hadn't thought about that.   Still, it did seem
that Nancy had higher scores in the long program.   As far as historically
good, I mean that she had skated in the past to be good enough to be in
the top three American women skaters.   If, in the past, you always
score dead last, then I doubt any number of years of skating in the
Nationals would be able to help you, but if you have skated in the
top five in the past years, then it seems that there is a cushion which
the judges give you.   This would prevent someone who skates well, but makes
one fall, from scoring 5.2's and 5.3's while a new person who may skate
equally well, but will not likely score much above 5.2's and 5.3's.   
I could be wrong, of course.
