I understand that it's not our position to interfere with a legitimate auction,
and it was a gut reaction to seeing the auction, and like I said in my original
post, I won't ever do it again. I was thinking aloud that it wasn't fair to the
person who bought or planned on buying the original set.

(...) I personally don't agree with interfering with a legitimate auction. To interfere would be like assuming a "Robin-Hood" type role. Definitely not fair for the seller, and certainly not our job. |3en (25 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
