At no time on the advert did I say "does anyone ACTUALLY want to buy what I've got". I asked if anyone was INTERESTED in buying and what it would be worth, just as a matter of research (If you notice, the message starts with JUST AS A MATTER OF RESEARCH)."and"You obviously didn't read it well enough. "Interested in buying" doesn't constitute an actual offer of sale. As I said, It was purely a theoretical excercise to see if a: the collection actually had a saleability and b: if it did, what kind of a value it would carry.Its not an unnatural thing to merely be interested in the potential worth of something. The best way seemed to be to get other people's opinions on it. Speculating as to the worth of something and asking for input doesn't mean going out and offering it for sale.I'm also aware of the illegality of owning copies of something you don't own or purchase legally. Can you see where in the post it says "illegal copies", because I can't. You've automatically just ASSUMED that these items are illegal copies." Anyway. I've removed the post as it seemed to be causing so much controversy. FYI i've never sold an illegal item in my life, nor do I intend to start now. It was an excercise in curiosity of worth, nothing more, irrespective of the fact that an actual sale would be illegal. Sorry if it caused any offense but as I said, its retracted now anyway. And apologies to bclarkie if the mails seemed a little snipe-y. Was just a bit peeved about being misunderstood.
