Matt,

The BST has specific rules about third party interference with auctions, including discussing whether the price is appropirate. Ebay does not have such rules.

Full sets do not come up that often on ebay, and Sean wanted to know what everyone thought of the $20K minimum bid. That is a perfectly legit topic for this forum, and I don't think the seller needs to be protected. It happens all the time - all the time - when one of the major auction houses has an unusual item for bid. The appropriateness of a minimum or expected value in these auctions is frequently discussed.

Sean is 12 years old and asked a pretty legitimate question in light of understandable excitement of seeing a full T206 set on ebay. He has been a good poster here after getting off to a rocky start, and maybe this a case where we can let it go.
