Come to think of it, this might be the best time to ask a couple questions about that.
First, I tried unsuccessfully to join this forum for weeks, getting messages about "suspicious activity" and being "unable to detect my country" etc. Finally it worked, though.
Then, I tried PMing a member who had something for sale. I'm not sure if it was successful...at least, the lack of a read receipt shows it didn't get read.
Now, I've tried replying in the thread he created for his statue, and it says I'm not allowed.
Wow, what am I doing wrong? I know I just joined, but that was the main reason I joined, and this site's whole setup basically made me miss out on the item. Hopefully, I can get things in order for when someone's selling something else I want. I greatly prefer to give my money to other collectors if I'm buying something older, instead of giving it to someone on eBay who hoarded 5 or 6 pieces exclusively as an opportunity to make a profit off of fans.
