That's extremely offensive.
YOU auction things to make money.
You could just as easily describe what I do (buy lots of copies of
sets on clearance, keep what I want out of them, then auction the
rest) as "flogging" the rest of you for a handsome profit. Doesn't
seem to keep you from bidding in my auctions, or running some of your
own.
Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, to me.
I for one am very proud of what I do, and am equally proud of others.
I can think of a lot of bidders in my auctions who whould have never
gotten 20, 50, or 100 or more of a certain part they wanted because
they wouldn't have been able to spend $500 to buy enough copies of one
set to get it.
Who are you to judge the people in this consortium, considering you've
done just about the same thing?
