When I reviewed the posts on cypress trees I saw that one of my auctions
became a topic of discussion of whether OR not to spend outrageous amounts
of money on an item that The Lego Company should have never discontinued in
the first place. Being a collector and a community member I felt embarrassed
because I was the beneficiary of the debate.

I have been collecting for a long time and I have bought and sold MANY sets
over the last 3 years. I know what it feels like to be out bid at the last
second and then to read about the what-ifs  and only-ifs... well, it just
bothers me.

Please don't feel you were the target of any sort of criticism.  I don't think
anyone who participated in this thread holds anything against you for
auctioning off the trees.  If anything, it was good that you made some
available to others.  And $25 was a fair price at which to start the auction,
considering the relative rarity of the trees.  We certainly cannot fault you
for having had the foresight to stock up on an element that appealed to you!

My sole purpose of posting was to give Richard a bad time (all in fun, of
course!) about taking such a chance (I love those cypress trees too, but I
don't think they're worth THAT much!), but evidently he knew exactly what he
was doing.  If I embarrassed or offended you or anyone else, I apologize.
