I have seen the error in my thinking.

I simply have to wait my turn, and that was clearly the case here. My frustration at my inability to aquire the card when I had "cash in hand" got the best of my emotions, and I was wrong to rant the way I did. Sorry to Tony, and the fellow forum members here who had to witness my petty, childish behavior.

P.S.- As im not the type of guy to rant on the front page, and recant on page 23 the next day, I felt it was important enough to both post the above IN the actual thread of this subject, as well as a stand alone thread. My apology is as sincere as it gets. The "forgiveness" part is up to you.

No worries Phil. Apology accepted here. We all have different ways we operate and many of us (who me?) are very passionate about our collecting. Your argument had some merit but is not the general way friends on this board approach the BST. That is not to say that some folks don't have your exact view, they do. The main thing as a seller, as was pointed out in one of those threads (by Barry) is to communicate. Believe me, if you are around long enough, and I hope you are, you will be on both sides of the equation more than once. Heck, with all of the stuff I do I am on both sides in the same day many times. Have a good one....best regards
