Murcerfan nobody is preying on you. You are a grownup and you can spend your money any way you like. You are not forced to bid at auction. Many people still buy face to face or trade. I do not think every auction house is ethical, but by no means will I ever believe that they are all crooked. Let's face it we can operate totally within the law and be totally transparent and someone based on their own individual beliefs now perceives us as being crooked and the mindless mob follows along. Next thing you know a reputable house can get a bad name. I know 2 auction houses in my neighborhood that sell hundreds of fake autographs at time. I vote with my feet and stay totally clear of their buildings. I do not even want to be seen in association with them. As far as making you laugh I am glad that I was able to bring you some entertainment.
