	It was suggested that we create a thread for online shopping sites that have been tried and proven. I did this at Christmas but the thread has been lost in the pages of the forum. However, I used that as a starting point. Please feel free to suggest any sites not listed that you have found reliable, and also include the country the site is in and I will add them into the next post. (Editting the first post of a sticky thread makes it drop). -----signature----- BF - 'Bounty Hunter Wars': "Don't be an idiot. Or at least not any more of one than you have to be."

	I probably wouldn't list SDS. They are not licensed, they've ignored a cease and desist order from Lucasfilm, and there is currently a civil case pending between them. -----signature----- John H. VanOphem Übergeek Buddhism: Birth. Work. Death. Repeat if necessary.

	LAJ_FETT posted on 6/3/05 1:32pm Do you have a news source for that? I just did a real quick Google search and didn't see anything. It was covered on "Celebrity Justice"(!) of all places. I'll try to find more info, but there are two messages threads at RPF regarding it. Apparently the case details are: Lucasfilm Ltd v. Shepperton Design Studios Limited et al CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA (Western Division - Los Angeles) CIVIL CASE #: 2:05-cv-03434-RGK-MAN Maybe that can be looked up? -----signature----- John H.

	Do we judge these merchants based upon successful transactions or do we base it on great prices? I have gone to Rebelscum.com and I have seen, for example, that "said merchant" has the new Tarkin Wave or Commander Baccara in stock to find the prices to be very ridiculous. I know these merchants sponsor rebelscum but we should list merchants who also have reasonable prices. I personally recommend E-Bay. -----signature----- http://epicplastic.com/wants.htm - Collecting Wants List [url=http://www.userbars.com/][img http://www.userbars.com/galerie/images/files/3/14/cinc.jpg [/img][/url] adrenalin and pheromone crowning glory of creation super-human incarnation

	I think you have the judge them on succesful transactions, but also on (after sales) service, contact, etc. I mean, if you had a deal that didn't work out right, nothing is better than a dealer solving the problem for you in a way that satisfies you, the customer. I only had one problem so far, way back in the 90s. I bought this cool yellow R2 shirt at Intergalactic Trading (FL). Somehow the package got wet during shipment, because the blue of the neck and sleeve ringers had gotten into the yellow of the shirt. I wrote them a letter, and they sent me a brand new shirt, not even wanting the old one back. A few days later I even got a phone call from them, asking if everything was alright. Mind you, I live in Holland, so I thought that was excellent service! -----signature----- "This party is over." - Mace in AotC "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." - Optimus Prime "Aayla Secura is one hot Twi'lek!" - IncomT65 "I sense a disturbance in the Force."- Luke "You always sense a disturbance in the Force!" - Kyle

	The ones I put up from my list were based both on successful transaction and, in the cases where I have needed it, customer service. I am leaving the prices up to the individual. For example, I put Brian's Toys in since I have had good luck with every order I have placed with them. Yes, they have silly prices on some stuff, but in the end it comes down to how much you want the item. Ebay is on the list as well but there it is down to the individual seller whether your experience is good or bad. -----signature----- BF - 'Bounty Hunter Wars': "Don't be an idiot.
