I detest using my phone for researching so I have a tablet that goes with me to auctions & shops.

My reasoning being is I [B][I][U]really[/U][/I][/B] do not need to buy anything as there is more than enough here for me to sell & if I am going to buy something it had better be something that is worth my while or I will just leave it for someone else to find.
