From Soup to Nuts What do you look for when shopping for magic?
What criteria do you use when deciding which dealer receives your hard earned cash, and why some may never hear from you again?
This forum is NOT to discuss specific dealers, but rather the things they do that make you glad, or make you mad. Voice your ideas and thoughts here. |
