Maybe if he attacked someone else with his lies. Last time this exact same thing happened from the same person Leon told me "to bad" and let him continue to attack me with lies.

There seems to be no shortage of misinformation in this thread. Although I doubt anyone is taking it very seriously.
If he was on here telling lies about you I bet you would take it serious.

Very interesting that he's been called out as a liar and he hasn't come back to refute it.

How about I post a copy of my ID and you do the same Ben ?
Does anyone want to see my ID to see my name is Michael James Durrett?
Does anyone want to see Ben North's ID ?

I am new here and new to cards. However I was told by MANY people that "Ben North" is a know-it-all who rudely posts things....

My guess is he got on here 5,000+ posts ago when moderator did not care if people used there real name. Now things are different and you are still operating under your fake name.

I am hereby calling you out. At the very least moderator should make you privately prove to him your real name. Right?

Just tell me you like the idea Ben and I post my ID in a heartbeat.

I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes. One thing that really bothers me is that as collectibles, these cards can be sold again and again which means that multiple people can pay taxes on the same piece of cardboard. I understand taxing "new" (unused) items, but collectibles? Can someone rationalize that for me?

I can't. It seems like collectibles are collateral damage here. But what do the states care...It's more money for them. Reading this thread it's comical how many people seem joyous about being overtaxed. Tax on shipping? Come on.

I just used my ebay bucks, and virtually every cent of it went to cover the taxes of the card I bought. So disappointing. Instead of getting a nice discount on a pick-up, it basically just got me back to where I would've been if I paid full retail in a tax-free state. And adding to the dismay, when was the last time ebay offered a 15% coupon code?? It's a suckfest out there.

Same with a used car or boat. The rationalization is simple: politicians exist to spend your money.

Poor comparison. Cars and boats are regulated by the government. Cards, forks, socks, knick knacks, t-shirts, posters and most of the things people sell on ebay, are not.

Maybe we should be required to get a license and register our baseball cards and underwear too?

Just move to tax friendly Delaware. No tax consequence, problem solved!

Absolutely! Underwear should be taxed, regulated, and licensed.

If ones underwear is considered lethal, would a concealed carry permit be required?
