Hello,
I had been in touch with a French collector named Geraldine Fund who asked me to buy for her some Smurfs objects from Italy.
I haven't heard from her in a month, and I have here at my house 350 euros worth of items (including 4 chocolate easter eggs...) packed and ready to be shipped to France, once she pays me.
Does any of you have recent news on her?

Thanks!

I am not friends with her on Facebook but have contacted somebody who is and hope she will be able to help you contact Geraldine, Paolo

[paolo]

thanks!

[paolo]

No news about her... I hope she's not ill or something.

Anyway, I will be waiting till the end of the month then the items I bought for her will be listed here (about 350 euros worth of smurf objects) if some member is itnerested in buying them at the exact same price I paid for them.

I sincerely hope that she'll get back to you, Paolo.

Today I got an e-mail from her saying she has sent the money via the old "cash in an envelope" way.

[Cassiebsg]

An illegal and dangerous method to send money... specially when it's so much... hope it arrives safe.

[Smurfysmurf]

Wow....that's pretty much asking for trouble. Hope she sent it registered

[paolo]

Yes, I have a tracking number and moreover she should have had included some Smurf objects she was supposed to buy for me from France and Belgium in exchange of what I bought here in Italy for her.

[Ritter_Schlumpfenherz]

Phew, she better should have pay you via bank transfer, Paolo.

[paolo]

Package with money inside has arrived!
Better late (three months) than never.
As a matter of fact I'm happy because many of the things she sent me were never available here in Italy.
I will now send her the objects I bought for her, hoping the four chocolate smurf easter eggs don't melt in the delivery process.

[Smurfysmurf]

yay...that is good news. I am glad it worked out in the end.

I am kind of curious what was in that package

[Tojo]

Phew, that's a relief Paolo I'm so glad that the money has arrived safely.

[Ritter_Schlumpfenherz]

Phew, so glad that the money arrived safely.

I will post a message in the ad section to see if somebody has the ones I miss
