Probably close Rene, I might be a smartass but not a dumbass. (village idiot I will accept)

I was going to compliment you for letting the bidders set the price and staring low. I guess I still will...

The point is that you always manage to twist the facts and manipulate the truth, to fit your needs. Something like this "I was told by someone that they were returned for destruction" is your version. Just about everyone else in the world knows that they were returned to the factory and have been being sold for years.

Big difference, and why should everyone who buys from you have to re-check the facts and find out if you are creating your own reality and your version of the truth, which is designed for only one reason, to make the price higher and make more money.

People resent being lied to and getting tricked (or attempts at tricking us) by vague or misrepresented information. It's that simple. If you would just talk straight and be honest, almost everyone would accept and welcome you.

So if you think people are negative or picking on you, just remember why. You created the situation with your never ending Flim Flam Scams. It's not negative to point out that the King is wearing no clothes, or that someone has been trying to bilk collectors.

Have a nice night...

(ps I did that without calling you names or being insulting, it's called being a reasonable adult.)
