OK, fine, next time I won't just reply to one particular posting when
replying about the general feel of your posts. After reading several of
your complaints, I'd had enough. It's really none of YOUR or MY or
anyone's else's business how BusyBee sells their stock. If I owned a store
and someone offered to take the entire stock of something (or almost all of
it) off my hands for full price, in one huge order (simplifying paperwork
for the year), I'd do it in a minute, not worry about how someone else
might think I should limit purchase numbers. And it's within anyone's
rights to buy out the stock of the store if they have the means and
timing. It's not like the knowledge of the 4536s popped up AFTER they were
all gone.
And YES, this reply is to the feeling I got from multiple postings. Sue
me.
