My problem is not sure where it should be.. Thanks for the assistance though still got to learn about this forum.

Only thing weird about using GH is the little bit of risk when buying something from classifieds, reminds me of other forums doing your first risky transaction, if everything goes smoothly then I got nothing to worry about, and I may start becoming more and more obsessed, luckily I don't want a unicorn board, so if I get to much I'll probably start selling.

First Purchase/GB on GH were White MX Switch top covers.  :)

But I believe I purchased an aluminum spacebar off feng on ebay first..

Yeah its still a risk every time you buy something. Never know what might happen with Paypal chargebacks or people disappearing. Luckily I've only had one bad buying experience out of many. I hope your experience will be the same :D.

I signed up to find a good with board with mx clears, I'm buying kepcaps for a board I don't even own yet, as I'm still waiting for that board, if WASD's code board doesn't sell out in like 5 minutes again it will probably be my first board, however looking for a board like the Quickfire TK or Lightsaver for my end board.

I bought Poker mods from Feng on 2012-12-24. That was my first GH purchase. 4-days later, I bought a Poker plate from BossBorot (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=14944) and the KBT Pure LE from tinlong.

A G80-1500, but I only harvested the doubleshots. :) It was sort of from GH, because I got help from a proxy here on GH. But if eBay w/ proxy help from GH doesn't count, it was a white Topre GasMask I think.

I consider my first real purchase on this site to be a Julysicle. I entered an auction for it shortly after joining (the julysicle was the reason I joined in the first place, and found that auction thread). I also ran into tjcaustin for the first time there. I might have bought something in the meantime between bidding and winning, but I don't recall, so I don't count it.

I joined attempting to buy some extras for Sanctuary, ended up finding the Round 4 with 7 bit symbols, but that was already done taking orders and I found the Toxic set GB and fell in love with it.  This was over a year ago.  Have finally paid for my Toxic set including everything but ISO and 1800 kit.  Just waiting on the option to add toxic alphas to my order and I will have finally completed my first planned purchase here.
