Ditto.
And without meaning to be a jerk, the post that prompted this is an example.
He's offered this same collection of sets multiple times (here & on the
Brickbay forum), and has had at least one offer (public reply on Brickbay)
that hasn't been accepted.
That's OK, and I don't have a problem with it - except that it is (in my
mind) *clearly* not a sale, or a trade.
YMMV
