[Leica] Supplementing my income

[Philippe]

I sold a couple of (semi-rare) items over to Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China at fairly good prices a couple of years ago. I convinced myself I had even made some profit … 

I used eBay, took extra care with the transactions, etc.. 

The most difficult bit was to find among the Chinese students of mine, one who would or could write the addresses by hand on the labels for the parcels to China. I found one who was willing to try. He confessed he’d have to practice a bit first as he had not written by hand for ten years of so …

And all went fine.
