Back from on the road to find the following:
Pair of Veloflex Roubaix tubulars. Ribble was selling them for less than $75 ea shipped
Idéale 2001 saddle to go on the Team Champion. Yeah I know the UnicaNitor is correct, but the Idéale was cheap.
Set of Lyotard pedal caps
Mafac rear hanger.

Banned.
A bill from FedEx for duty on the last batch of UK parts. First time in a decade. Every other (more valuable) package was handed off to the USPS, no duty. Buddy who ordered at same time got his USPS, no idea why FedEx got this one.

It worked out ok.
I sold some frames that were just sitting here, along with an older aluminum version of the similar frameset.
Also, I put together bikes for a couple of guys and it was even steven.
Just ordered tires, grips, seatpost and saddle today.

I've been waiting on these from England and they finally arrived. It's a replacement Sturmey Archer "Sport" headlight lens and chrome ring, along with the rear lens & ring. I'm p*ssed that they sent it all in one envelope, which I asked that they do, but the carrier Pitney Bowes, charged twice on my account. I won the rear lens on a Friday (got charged for shipping) and won the front lens on the following Monday (got charged for shipping). I emailed the seller, but who knows.

This: Vulcanizing Rubber Cement, in a decent size tube, not the ridiculous 5g tubes that come with all the patch kits, and dry out shortly after the first time you use it. I had several old tubes that had punctures, but both of the patch kits I had, had the rubber cement tubes dried out, so I couldn't patch them, despite having about 9-10 perfectly good patches. This tube is 6X the size of the ones in the REMA or ParkTool patch kits, and the glue is the exact same stuff.

I already repaired 3 tubes this afternoon - and the glue tube still has at least 80% of it remaining.

As for me, I ordered a couple complete RX100 rear axle sets from Loose Screws and they came:
Nothing too exciting, but when you have a system you like, it's nice to have spares.

FYI, I just found out that O'Reilly Auto Parts carries this Xtra Seal vulcanizing rubber cement for $2.50 a 1 oz. tube - so I overpaid for it.
