I was intending to auction 2-4 off from the very beginning, and James knew that.
But I also sent him a set that is running VERY high prices on Ebay, so he made out
fine ;-)

trade, which is worth it for me).  Tom is selling the sets on Ebay for $100,
which is more than what he paid me for them,

When you offered to get the sets for us at cost, you requested that
we not just auction the sets off on Ebay, because you didn't want to
go to the trouble of getting the sets and mailing them to us just
so that we could make more profit.  Now that was fine with me,
because I wasn't intending to auction the sets.  But I'm surprised
to read that Tom S. is auctioning them on Ebay.  (Actually, I don't
see any auction on Ebay ... were you just illustrating the point
or was he *intending* to auction them on Ebay?)
