RE: Getting out of the hobby

That is a real shame, but if you aren't enjoying it there us little point 
carrying on. I also have to agree that it is dispiriting at times when you are 
constantly dealing with new failures.

I suspect though that years later you may regret getting rid of your 
collection, you hear this from many people. So I would suggest you don't get 
rid of *everything*, in case you change your mind in the future.

This is the reason I mentioned parcel2go - they send thousands of parcels daily 
so can negotiate a cheaper rate for shipping with the same companies thee and 
me use. I assume ReShip do the same thing.
