How to tell if you’re on a government watchlist (and how to get on and off the wild ride)

image thumb 28 1

People often wonder if their names have somehow made it to the “the list”, that watchlist of US citizens whom the government suspects may be up to something.

JPMorgan Chase security breach not what you think – military attack against key financial institutions could turn over keys to the kingdom.

image thumb21

Forget the big-brand retailers!

Forget the big-brand retailers. Geek Slop understands geeks (because we are geeks) and their pop culture collections!

We take great care to ensure the collectable arrives to you in the same condition it came to us. All items are wrapped in tissue and padding to help prevent scratches and reduce the risk of damage. We use only the highest quality boxes and seal all corners and seams to reduce risk of water/liquid damage during transit.

We monitor the pop culture market including the value of our customers’ collectibles even after we’ve sold them – and we let our customers know when the value of their collectible has increased.

Check our FAQ for more information.
