How come you don't mention the source of your Blue Hopper in Serious Collector
listings? Is it selective amnesia?

Serious Collector does not allow modification or amplification of listings.
(1) If you check the timestamps carefully you will realise that all, or most,
of my listings on SC were done before eBay... except for this one:

http://www.seriouscollector.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=A1870

which DOES mention it. The initial eBay listings did not mention it in the
body, I didn't think through that I should be listing that info till after I
had done some. So I had to tack it on the end.

Contrast THIS one: (listed early, info added as mod)
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=172409813

with this one (listed after I realised, info in body)
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=173320277

I have to ask, is there an issue here?

If so, please come out and state what it is. I am reading something into your
tone which may or may not be there, but which, if it is, I don't like. In fact,
since I've not seen you around much before these comments, why don't you tell
us a little more about yourself? Are you one of the McD scalpers here to stir
things up? Other than one post 4 weeks ago I've not seen you at all here
before. This is an open and friendly sort of place, we usually are pretty good
about discussion. Say what you mean.

I welcome feedback and if you have some constructive input on how to improve
things I'd love to hear it.

1 - Derick has explained before why that is. I don't happen to agree, but I
understand. Cancelling and relisting would be disruptive and not worth the
benefit, at least as I perceive the benefit. Feel free to convince me. I have
canceled listings before to correct things when it was the right thing to do.
