So you are saying I can't set a price when I want to sell something?
Item's have a trade value. Not all people agree with these prices so I
figured I'd just post what they are worth in my mind, it wasn't to raise
the prices at all. and the buck that a couple of them are under I'd let
go, I just went by the list I created when I decided what sets I would
sell or trade to get the newer sets.
The prices I added were MY prices, I don't see this being a problem..
though if it is.. I give up..
I tried to ask about this, though I feel like I get ignored around here
when I ask questions. So just forget the whole thing..
Frank contact me if you want to go through with the trade, the rest are
staying in the attic..
