Some years ago, I bought a single photo from him for a small amount, then was surprised to be charged $8 for S&H (Sellers didn't have to post S&H then, not sure if he did or not; I might not have been paying attention, or perhaps saw it and wanted the photo anyway.) I paid the invoice and included a message to the effect that the typical charge for photos, which I bought a lot of, was at the high end around $3-4 at that time. His response to that message was, "Well, you won't have to worry about it anymore because I've just banned you from my auctions." He's had a lot of nice stuff over the years, and I would have been bidding on lots of it, so he's cost himself a lot of money. I'm sure the kick he got from having the power to bar me was worth it, though. I know he has a lot of respect from many on this board, but from my perspective, he's a real idiot.
