One of the best places to find them is eBay, and one of the best ways to find good vintage mahjong sets is Vintage Mahjong. The site has good browsing tools and highly useful RSS feeds to make sure you don’t miss a single deal. You can also learn about choosing the right set and right rules and about playing online.

If you’re Finnish and interested in Leatherman multitools, but can’t stand the outrageous prices, checkout Edulliset Leathermanit, where you can find popular Leatherman models for cheap. In best cases you can get yourself a brand new genuine Leatherman for less than half the recommended Finnish price.

I’ve been working with him on a comic auction website. If you want to buy comics, cartoons, manga, comic-related toys and other stuff, check out Buy Comics, it’s a pretty neat collection of eBay auctions for comics. My friend knows his comics well, there’s a good selection of topics to browse.

I asked him if he had any spare copies at Essen and he looked at me as if I was mad.

He photographed the whole manufacturing process. It’s well worth a look.
