Year in review -bought and sold

[leon]

Just look at my signature, only joined IIS this year, not game to add it up, plus there would be stuff not even included.

Cheers Leon

P.S Did however sell my Pentax IstD, to a member of IIS

[DistroMan (Trevor)]

$2000 give or take a dollar.

I took my wife with me for all purchases. She loves it when I buy her presents. I'm just lucky that I get to use them.

Oh my! That was adding up so slowly $$$$$$$

[AlexN]

yeah... lots of little inexpensive things that ultimately weighed in quite heftily...

I think my spending is almost over for a while... still need a GPUSB a couple of fliters, and maybe just maybe a 12" Newt... Will have to see how I go
