Ah, I'm on VCF.  Actually forgot the item/trade/etc section there.  But
still, prefered to offer them here first.  I'll wait a few days.

Also I might make it to VCF MW (Chicago) in September - still not 100%
sure.  But possible I could just bring them with me to that (I mean if
someone wanted to pick them up there, not for the free table! :D )
