About me
My name is Árni and I live in Iceland. I'm not a professional trader or seller - I'm scientist and teacher, but it so happened that I sell here the Icelandic Golden Root, Angelica archangelica, Arctic Thyme, Icelandic books, Bibles, etc. Why? Because I am interested in comparative linguistics and for many years I have been collecting and studying bible texts in many languages. I collect Bibles in different world languages and I spend a lot of money on the purchase of these. So I decided to sell the excess items in eBay to get some money for buying a new books and Bibles.
