It does, but in the wrong column. This is "Interesting Items."

I think I actually did come up with a better system that I posted, either basing it strictly on auction/confirmed private sales, or allowing ALL Acaeum members to submit their valuations in the form of what they would pay for a certain item. Obviously there might be the occasional idiot who will say a 1st print MM is worth $500, but the obvious jokes can be filtered out.

Even better, get rid of the grading system and have a range. For example, a 1st print MM could range from $25-$150, ranging the valuations from fair to NM (by current standards). That way, we don't get idiots who look up the Acaeum value of an item, add 100% to it, and put it up on eBay ($2,000 for a Tamoachan?).

I am in no position to issue "gagging orders".  I encourage an open discussion on the grading system which should be used by the valuation board. It was merely an attempt to prevent cluttering up this post and bore the other members with our discussion.



BTW, I have sent you that email.

I would suggest the following:



1.  Move these topics to the Valuation Board thread and erase them from this thread.



2.  Continue the discussion.  I find it interesting and informative.  IMO, the more opinions that are garnished, the better the end result will be.  This is also very eye opening for those of us with a little less experience with D&D as myself (although not entirely lacking, I admit freely that most of you have much more than I).

The one with the "It is obvious that you lust for recognition from the community, and that is totally OK with me" comment.



Received and replied, fwiw.

Yes, that's the one. BTW, you are discrediting yourself by quoting from a private email on a public forum.



Edit: I received your PM, your email does not seem to work. You have made your point clear and I do not wish to drag this any further. I hope you can accept that.

...no, you did not need to "put me down" by /forcing/ things on to a

private response, and further emphasise that by saying you'd done so.



You could just as easily have sent the email without telling the whole

board. Agree?



It's exactly the same as a school teacher taking a naughty pupil to the

corner of the room to talk to them 1-on-1. Not that that's allowed

nowadays, I suspect.



If your "assessment of my character" was correct, I'd now post the

rest of that private email...

David.

Wasn't sure what point you were trying to make there, Ralf, especially after your own "It was merely an attempt to prevent cluttering up this post and bore the other members with our discussion" comment...





EDIT: Noted receipt of copy emails by Ralf.

Yup, ISP looks like it's stuffed here and I'll be getting copies of your email for the rest of my life, since it's failing to flag as being read. Gee, thanks...

Big lot of misc stuff....
