So why are YOU selling stuff on eBay? Out of charity? I doubt it. You
seem an honest trader but I just don't get this. That goes for everyone
else in the whiner crowd too....

It's OK for you to make some money but not for me? Or is it OK for a
certain percent profit but not above it? So when you get a big win on an
eBay lot do you rebate what you think is too much back to the buyer and
sell for less?

I think Lego is for making constructions... not making money. As a lot of
people know, my aim is to keep it self sufficient. Which is harder for me,
as a lot of people are put off by the fact I live in Scotland.

I especially don't get the way that you seem to snipe out these little
one liners instead of dealing substantively with issues, if there are
any. I count 4 of them in the post I reference. Sound bites are great
for the watching audience but don't actually convey much.

A long waffling diatribe just clouds the issue. I see nothing wrong with
being clear & succinct - there is more chance for me to be understood... and
less chance for me to deceive. If my comments appear a little "sharp", it is
not intentional. I would never say anything online that I would not say to
anyone here in person.
