[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 4089490, member: 5515"]Good evening everyone! For my post today, I thought I would mix it up and describe my week (and reveal my purchases). While this isn’t necessarily a “typical” week, the stats of number of messages and number of purchases are probably a good average on what I’m doing each day to find treasure.
