"Unfortunate last name of T206 owner"

I always enjoy a last name that rivals mine --- OT story:

In kindergarten, we kids were sitting around a big table having our snack. Some kid laughs and spits milk out his nose. Another kid says "eeewwww GROSS!" At that point ALL the kids look and point at me and yell "eeewwww GROSS!" I remember, even now 45 plus years later, saying to myself "man, that's going to get old fast." ................... and it did

I thought I may have been able to pick up a few deals since the auction is about 10 minutes from my house. Since half the collecting world now knows, I highly doubt I will win a single lot

Since there is such desire for secrecy in this auction, if someone will explain how to delete the thread I will be more than happy to oblige. It doesn't seem to let me in the "edit" page.

Or if Leon sees it, perhaps he can just go ahead and poof it.

But many years in the future when you (or your children) decide to sell you will appreciate the fact that someone outs your auction. Probably will only happen if Dirt or Dog is your last name though.


First day of school in 7th grade my science teacher was taking roll. He must have thought I was French? Luckily it was the first day of school because the other students were too nervous to laugh when he called out the name Horn(e).

Threads very rarely get deleted. It's just something we don't do very often on this board. You can always edit your post to delete the link to the auction. I didn't know this until about a month or two ago but I guess I am the only one that can physically delete threads. I thought the other mods could but they can't. There is no hard rule against outing ongoing auctions but it is frowned upon by most.

Outing an auction upsets a potential bidder hoping to buy something for less than it might otherwise bring.

Outing an auction is appreciated by other folks who bid and appreciate the help in finding the auction.

And Outing an auction certainly helps the seller.


Seems to me that outing an auction is the right thing to do. I think the link should go back up...
