i've already heard all the good things about skimo but it seems like the selection is a _little_ low. i know this will start a thread of whose online store is better, but can anyone tell me if safety in numbers is any good? i just went to their website and it looks like they have a very nice selection for around the same price at the stuff at skimo. if anyone can tell me anything about their emailing, promptness of shipping and quality, i'd really appreciate it. reason i'm asking is cuz now i actually have a _steady_ income so i'm willing to blow most on some shops. thanks, shaun --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

well, most of the online shops will get you your items in a timely fashion. i've ordered from most of these, including some pretty obscure ones, and i've always been at least satisfied with the service. skimo just goes above and beyond all expectations. about skimo's selection - if something is in print, and you want it, i'd recommend just asking pj if he can get it. 99.99932857835 times out of 100, he can get it for a good price. the online site is still relatively new, and he does deal more with new releases than anything, but he has access to older things, if you know what you're looking for. safety in numbers, riouxs (who i also ordered a lot from when they were still in email-list only phase (aka pre website), bent crayon, forced exposure (big ups on FE baby!) are all great shops. i'd recommend all of them. and if you can't find something that you know is out there, ask pj. cheers, /derek ----------- "Extremism is no vice when God's on your side" -Opus the Penguin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
