The Price to Use the Catalog

win win

I've written this several times now, and you all know: It's a huge burden for me to spend so much money and time on the catalog without any benefit. I just paid the €993.72 for its operation in 2025 and have spent many hours in front of the computer on IT, user requests and reviews. It's even the case that I'm at a disadvantage because I hardly feel like spending any more time tradling labels and to sort my duplicates so that they can be found. 

Sometimes I wonder what you would say if you were asked to pay the anual €993.72 operating costs instead of me and have add 17500 pictures of banana labels? So, there is a price for the use of this great catalog in future. Every form of voluntary support hasn't worked in the last 10 years, and I'm therefore not discussing it. I'm going to choose from your tradlist and ask to send me the stickers. No ifs, ands, or buts. Don't choose from my list, there will be no trade. May be you have luck and I already have many of your doubles already.

You'll see my name on your request list from time to time. If you send me the stickers, I also benefit, and you can continue using the catalog.  Do you have any questions or comments about this?

I am very sorry that you feel

I am very sorry that you feel disappointed by the catalog's problems.
I think I understand your state of mind too.
Collecting gives so much satisfaction.
In my life I have collected various objects.
After a certain period I felt the desire to change and start a new life.
I discovered this catalog five years ago and immediately fell in love with it.
It gives a precise address to this collection with a thousand aspects.
But the main reason is that it has a fantastic value.
It unites the world, without looking at borders and all human differences.
From the exchange of labels a great friendship was born in all collectors.
Friendship that united families in a fantastic embrace.
This, dear Michael, you were able to create and it is a wonderful thing.
You must be proud of what you have done.
This must defeat every moment of disappointment.
I personally collect double labels and check if you have them.
Then I will send them.
Thank you for what you do.

Hi Michael,

Hi Michael,
please feel free to choose from my duplicates. I will be happy to send them to you.
Thanks for your efforts.
