Let the experiment begin...

Daryl is right. Announcements of "for profit" auctions belong in the proper section of the BST. Not here.

The fact that you couldn't wait more than 2-3 days to try to profit off this speaks volumes about your intentions. Very transparent.

I agree this belongs in the BST eBay post but I fail to see how trying to sell this t202 at a profit changes the fact that Brett made a really terrific new observation that no one had seen in 100 years, made a great contribution to the Board, and (despite getting a lot of guff) turned out to be absolutely right. If I invent some terrific new product or come up with some new idea, can I not try to profit from it? Of course he's "credible" because he was right. The folks I don't find credible are the "experts" who won't concede that he was right no matter how convincing the proof.

You're completely wrong (numerous people have been CONTACTING ME about wanting it)... but even if profiting were my sole intention is that suddenly against the rules of collecting? Is there an unwritten rule I'm not aware of? I'm sorry that this is so beneath someone as principled as yourself. When would it have been acceptable in your opinion to put it up (5 days, a year, never)? Here we go again...
