Henri's Collection Page !

Hello, to you who took the time to visit my personal homepage !
Personal facts.
My name is Henri van Meel and I am 40 years old.
I'm living in Holland / The Netherlands.
I work as a CNC-programmer and business manager in
a furniture factory.
I started this site in 1999.
In that time the internet was not used that much as now.
These days you can hardly imagine that the internet was not that popular yet.
During these days you could not find much on the internet that concerned a collector.
Yes, you could find info on a specific battle, a type of medal or some dealers.
But a site made by a collector......not easy!
During that time I was building my special place for my collection and it cost me a small fortune.
I did have a subscription with an internet provider and with that came also free space on the server.
So, I could not find a collector's site and started to make my own telling about my collection.
I added also the trade and sale pages and I try to update these as frequent as possible.
How ever, during lack of time because of work and other obligations, it takes sometimes longer then I want!
So, keep checking!
I will try to respond on messages as fast as possible, but keep in mind that it can take longer
then you may be used from me.
***************** October 2011 NEWS !!!!!!! ***************
Those who visited my site in the past will be surprised to hear this news:
I am selling 95% of my collection!!!
About 1 year ago I made the final decision that, after 21 years of collecting, it was time to move on!
Because of experiences with some people, other priorities in life and the realization that I lost the joy of collecting!
Yes, I did think it through and NO I will not regret it!
If so, I can always start again!
There are still fields of interest and I will keep these items and sometimes add some of these items to my small collection
that will remain.
That will be the 5% that I will not sell!
What?
Check my wanted list!
All those who visited in the past will experience that the "trade/sale" pages have changed totally.
It is now a web shop and you need to register to see prices and order items.
Read the conditions before you do!!!!!
So, be prepared that thousands of items will hit the market!
Among them standard equipment, but also ultra rare items.
I can't manage to do it all at once, so check the shop regular!
The website with the museum story, how I get started, etc. will stay active.
Only difference will be that a lot will not be owned by me anymore in a couple of years!
The mannequins, like you can see on this site, will all be for sale!
Interested?
Send me an email!
Be aware, none of the items on the mannequins will be sold as single items.
Mannequins will be sold as one complete fully dressed and equipped item!
