BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BECOME "FRUSTRATED"......
I have decided not to to sell any more cypress tree sets becuase I can see
the "F.U.N." factor is no longer in our hobby and our community!!!!!

Michael:

I hope you are well aware of the fact that I was in NO WAY slamming the
seller of the cypress trees, in this case you, in any way.  I was just being
silly about the trees and how large a price they fetched.  I wasn't sure if
I made you angry in some way, but if I did I am sorry for it.  I am just a
silly lego builder who wanted some cypress trees and not to have to pay
through the nose for them.  Not getting them in that auction doesn't spoil
the hobby for me, it is fun nonetheless...I am but temporarily thwarted in
my schemes.

Still, seeing the prices these items fetched on eBay, nobody can fault you
for continuing to sell them that way...it is the buyer who is foolish, and
not yourself who merely accommodates the market for these items.  Perhaps
you feel you are taking unfair advantage of such a buyer, but in the end
such a buyer can only blame him or herself.

I too hope that TLC can see their way to rereleasing the cypress tree in
service packs -- that was why I started that thread to begin with, of
course!  I am continually agitating for things as they *should be*...

To everybody in the discussion: Do you want to know the scary thing about the trees? Over a 4 year period I bought a 140 service packs (1988-1992) from a mail order company in Denmark for about $2.50 a pack. I listed 8 single packs 4-6 month ago on (...)
