Don't worry about it, it wasn't taken that way.
Luckily, SO FAR, Profiteering is VERY rare in our community (I don't count
Ebay as being part of our community).
In my case, I am selling stuff on Ebay and doing auctions to support my
Lego habit. If I didn't sell stuff, I couldn't buy ANY Lego anymore, my
budget has been tightened too much (I need to pay off CC debts so we can
seriously consider buying a house). So while my current auctions are all
about Profit, I don't consider them Profiteering, if you can see the
difference. The Profit goes to pay off current and past Lego costs in my
case.

| Wow, did I open a can of worms! OK, Tom's response to what I said was GREAT. Tom said: Yes, I have done this before. Someone sent me the inventory for 9365, so I pulled 2 sets out of the auction as Reserved for him at opening cost, even if the rest (...)
