Thanks for the replies so far.  I can't get back to everyone until I have an relatively fixed address.  Please keep sending my e-mails, however.  I have read them all, and am appreciative.
 
As for the "hard" oils merchandise, such as Rolling Stone issues, books, dvds, and singles, please keep me in mind when searching through used book and music stores, that's all I ask.  Oh, I just remembered I had a BSM tour program book.
 
Does Jim still sell Fuzzface on his site?  Does Rob sell ghosties stuff?  I miss my "second skin".
 
So far I have purchased a used copy of 10-1, my all-time favorite record, and Head Injuries. That is the extent of my Oils collection.  Oh, I managed to find the sprint baseball cap from the show where I caught the drumstick and pull it from the rubble.  I've washed it in a tub of scalding hot water, and the fused particles fell off!  It smells like crap, but that can be taken care of.  I saw it drying by the window when I woke this morning, and it made me happy.
 
I also have about 35 water damaged Johnny Cash CDs.  One Nick Cave CD was in one of the Cash cases, so I'll have to purchase "Abbatoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus" for a third time, as my first copy was stolen.   I keep losing the first disc.  Funny.

Does anyone think it would hurt to try an request "sound-aide" :-)from Peter?  As a representative, he should be easy to reach.

If anyone with the ability to access ebay 24-7 is willing to become part of my Oils bidding posse, and make bids on my behalf while I'm tied up with loolking for a home and going to work and buying new clothes etc, let me know. Just an idea.  Maybe a bad one, as the logistics could be rather tricky.
