(don’t take it personnaly master Zoetrop.. let me explain why I moved your announcement)
Only members of this forum can read (and post) in the marketplace … announcing ebay auctions… this way, I try to avoid having “businessmen” who are NOT inscribed on this forum take notice of such information…
I know they have other ways to find it out, or maybe they have “spies” or maybe they are registered.. but nevertheless…
When Chris sells on ebay, he sells for collectors mainly to try to be fair… TOO often, his offers get bought by people (drizztdourden for example) who buy several of them to then resell themm twice or thrice the price Chris has sold them…
And thus, the desire of fairness by Chris has the countrary effect… it creates unfairness in the end and that upsets and saddens … I suppose… both, the collectors… myself (as this forum administrator) and Chris himself I suppose….
So, that’s why I made the Tharbad section member only… and would like “announcements” of rarities offer to remain among a closed circle of trustful , fair, and friendly collectors…
this MS423A affair saddens/upsets/annoys me a lot because I am more than sure that Chris has been quite saddened by the sale made by Arnaud Godet….
