Ralf Toth wrote: By the way, why is it not nice to compare someone with Cougarrinard? There are some members on this board who continually buy from him, so he can't be too bad. I dislike both of them, but this is a personal opinion. I compared them for the only reason, because uwesiebel also floods the market every week with hundreds of auctions ...

No, what I think he is actually doing is posting all of those auctions to act as a sort of catalog for people who may wish to buy individual items (hence the attached pound figures). I figure it cost him between $2.20 to $3.30 for each of the 25 auctions. It would cost him $0.30 to post each of the hundreds of items he has listed throughout all of the auctions. There are 72 Dragonlance items and it would have cost him $21.60 to list all of them individually instead of the $3.30 he actually paid. Now, he has shown all potential buyers what he has for a fraction of the cost.-PD

Once again, why do I hate resellers? Because Sot could have won the 3, kept the two he needed and traded the Palace to someone. Instead, a reseller cashed in and Sot paid much more than he should have. I would have liked to have the PoVQ and trade the other 2 away myself.
If someone is willing to put their money down without taking the time to research the value, then that is the fault of the buyer and not the seller.
