[Syd Smurf]

Hi Maureen

I started buying lots like most people but then started buying them indivdually quite early on to get the ones I didn't have. I bougth a lot from a seller named bulldogsbonkers and would keep refreshing the page when he was listing so I could buy the ones I wanted before he listed the next smurf about a minute later...lol.

I still mainly buy individual smurfs but if I do end up buying lost then it's sometimes very handy in finding variations as a surprise that you weren't expecting.

However big lots tend to be too expensive for me now as I am chasing variations that i don't have and the markings are not often listed in big lots. However I will attempt to buy any smurf whether it's online shops, ebay or via private sales if it's something I need. They all tend to work ok most of the time.

I love buying big lots for the thrill of going through them. Now that I have a little smurf collector in the house he ends up getting stuff too so it works out when I have doubles. My biggest problem I am finding now is that I need to import more as I normally only buy from the US and those markings tend to be almost always the same. doubles I then sell so I can buy more smurfs. It's a bad cycle.

Hi Maureen, im sorry to read that your large lot of smurfs were not in good condition. Its awful when you pay alot and they turn up in bad condition. Hopefully this is the first and last time this will happen to you Lucie
