I don't require shrinkwrap, nor am I a re-seller.So where do I fit in? Are you saying a GDQ1-7 should never be posted, since "most people" have one? Why should I be penalized and unable to take advantage of someone pointing me in the right direction? Is The Acaeum only for the Uber-Collectors who already have five of everything and are shooting for a sixth? Should you all maybe just form your own Uber-Collector site and leave us peasants to fight over your scraps?Okay, obviously I'm laying it on somewhat thick and just using King's post as a springboard to some general thoughts (it's not personal, King, just a springboard). But I really, really don't want to have "interesting" defined for me. Split the threads, if need be, into multiple stickies, but don't assume that my "interesting" is the same as yours.

If you know that an Acaeum member has expressed a serious interest in an item, and particularly if you consider that person to be a friend, you don't announce that auction to the world. If you're not going to bid on it, why not let someone else score a deal, occasionally? (I'm not referring to snipes, here. If you haven't made your intentions known, we're not expected to be mind-readers.)

Besides the fact that the Texas Rangers lost tonight....not one single person on this site thought my Dave Arneson Sex, Lies, and Videotape thingy was funny. Would Gary's autographed copy of Sweatin' to the Oldies be funnier? No??? Fine then...be that way...see if I care.

I let my frustration over items being posted that I was hoping would slip through boil over the other night and into yesterday and it ended in this big mess. This was absolutely not my intent.
