I for one appreciate you staying engaged on this forum. In regards to your reply to Teds comment, I've built a couple of businesses, nowhere near the level you have but I understand the dynamic. I have a former business partner who is going through what you went through, he too blames it on former business partners and the BK court, the discussions we have are about personal responsibility or "what decisions did you make that resulted in a bankrupt company?". It's interesting to talk with him, he's filled with ego and hubris to a fault and that led to his downfall. I'm just a working class collector so I'm not really in your high class demo but for me when I talk to Brian at REA or Al at LOTG I'm confident they have my best interest at heart and their integrity is unquestionable. Your schtick might be profit at all cost to sell your company to the highest bidder, which is okay, it's just a different business model. Personally I don't spend my money with you for those reasons but you don't need my money anyway, and if Brian or Al ever posted a "Ken Goldin, Ken Goldin" video on YouTube I would question spending my money with them. Again, I'm a small potatoes old school collector that gets satisfaction from the incredible relationships I've made in this great hobby, and not one of them had anything to do with money.
