My experience is that I have found books that were stored in polyethylene bags for 30 years and the bags looked atrocious- yellowish brown, sticky, kind of like a nasty nicotine stain. Yet when I pulled the books out, they were glossy, fresh and had white pages. +1. Many times I've been in for a nice surprise when I pull an old comic out of a nasty-looking polyethylene bag! Regarding pricing of bags & boards... shop around. You can find good deals on e_Bay, especially if you're buying in bulk. I've had a good experience with Ready-Set-Collect and Sharp Brothers Gaming.

The point is that you posted "Typical plastic bags sell in packs of 100 and run about $15-$20 for each pack." If you're paying that much for bags and they aren't Mylar, you're Telling newbs that they should expect to pay that much for poly bags is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving there to pay $8 or ordering by mail? that's easy drive... of course why would you deny yourself the lovely voyage and sights that you would miss as well as the potential "rest" stop to recharge and fuel up by ordering it in the mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Assuming we have a finite amount of time, every minute spent enjoying the journey is a minute less you will spend at your destination, which is the reason for the journey in the first place.

Krismusic Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 3 minutes ago, marvelmaniac said: to get even more heavier... wouldn't the his journey be the end be counter intuitive to the journey as the journey could be thought of as a process of movement whether its in time or at a certain place/space the journey would be the passing of the time or moving to/thru or after that time and space. where the end is a reference to a specific time or specific space/place. so the end therefore can't be a journey by its self as its the not a process or action of movement through time or space/place. wow its Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally meant the destination is the journey or some such. Or Life is a Journey, not a destination. Or Some will win, some will lose, some were born to sing the blues. Oh wait, those are Journey lyrics. Edited October 18, 2019 by ExNihilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
