Since you chose to go public with your admonishment, Ed, I'll repeat my
previously-sent "private" reply to you here, too:

I don't think so, Ed. Of such things, is inflation made. All they do is
cause prices to rise higher in all other ways. True, there are often
bargains to be had at auctions; the problem is to be at the right place at
the right time. But those bargains do NOT result in prices going down,
unlike high bids paid at auctions.
Auctioning of complete radios is bad enough; but when someone purposely
strips one down to sell off piece by piece, or even separates the owner
manual from the radio from the mobile bracket from the mike from the power
cord from the original box AND THEN auctions each little piece, then I go
berserk. That's not true capitalism; it's just plain selfishness,
inconsideration, and contempt for one's fellow man. I won't stand for it,
just as I won't stand for someone stepping in my space in ordinary
day-to-day living in the same "I don't give a bleep if you were there
first" manner. If they're gonna step in my space, they're gonna KNOW they
stepped in my space.
I don't need a Valium; all I need is to see people think as if they are a
member of the human race, know it, and act like it. Characters who do that
kind of thing don't, any of it.
