The fact that you don't realize what my comment meant is funny.

Yep, you posted it in the correct forum........never said you didn't.

Jealous, yep, that's me......I just can't deal with the fact that I don't have a basement full of rare and collectible ashtrays. I use a uniquely shaped rock that I picked up off the bottom of a lake at 40' as my ashtray.......one of a kind, unique, but used so, alas, I won't be offering it up to my BOTL's.

I liken your sales attempts here to a door to door salesman who arrives unannounced in the middle of dinner...........he gets the door slammed in his face. You were told politely by one of our members that you most likely wouldn't get any offers here, and given a reason why.....your response:

Your offer was very insulting. Stick with the garage sales.
This is rude, condescending(sp?), and just not too bright........like you said yourself, you have nothing good to post other than your sales. We all belong here to be part of a community, build friendships, and share our hobby.........you sir, seek to profit from us and offer nothing, as of yet, to the betterment of the community.

Whether you go away or not is your choice, I have plenty of popcorn if you choose to continue on this path.
