I had made various trades with him prior to then, as had Ingvar. Unfortunately for me when he did sell up, his prices were a bit too steep and I had to pass on several very desirable items. I was able to find equivalents later at more affordable prices but it took a lot of patience. Ingvar would have no truck with the internet or computers, and we always kept in contact by snail mail or phone – frustrating to say the least, especially when exchanging images.
