Actually, such an auction isn't necessarily deceitful of him-- mainly
because people in other countries & overseas don't *have* S@H, and thus may
not have access to the sets. However, I will admit that doing what he did
DOES sound like he was attempting to make a quick buck, since he didn't
advertise his source or anything. Plus, were he really trying to be helpful
in that regard, he'd send along an email saying "Whatever you need from S@H,
I can get for you too".
Anyway, it's not necessarily bad of him, but it does sound so from your
description...

| I've wanted to share this story since I first started posting to LUGNET, but couldn't find the information to share until doing some digging around the house on other LEGO related business this evening. This story is a warning to my LUGNET friends (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.services)
