A great guy, calculusdork

There has been a lot of discussion about members here but I have had a couple of dealings in the past month with calculusdork in which he has defiantly gone over and above what I hoped he would.

First, I bought a thermal printer from him and with me being a bit on the ignorant side of the computer knowledge of course had problems getting it to work. So I pm him a couple times, he replies and then he sends me his phone number to call so he can walk my wife through the set up. Above and beyond to me, but he got me printing. I then see a thread that he is looking for gold sparkles, I have some, need a few inserts to finish a set and we trade. I am happy with a finished set.

This brings me to today, I get a package in the mail from him. A 2009 Joe Mauer Topps Chrome 7/50. A great PC card for me. He didn't need to send it, I felt if anything I still owed him for his time but he did it and this is my public thanks. He is truly a asset to this forum

Awww shucks

Truth is, Al sent me at least $12 worth of cards that I needed to complete a set, and only asked for about $2 worth in return. I knew I needed to make up the difference, regardless of what he said

As for the printer ... always glad to help. I'm currently working on a couple of additional write-ups: (1) How to use PayPal Multi-Order Shipping, including how to create shipping labels without having an eBay/PayPal transaction (i.e. for trades), and (2) How to determine who dinged your DSRs.

If anyone has any other ideas for information that might be useful, let me know and I'll give it a shot.
