If I made the gifts, I would take it as a back-handed compliment that someone thought my stuff was worth selling as a collectible. Way back in college, one of my design assignments' criteria was to design something that was so cool, people would want to steal it. While I'm not advocating theft, it's still a positive reflection on the maker/giver of the item. You cannot at all be responsible for what people do with something once it leaves your hands. It's theirs to do with what they wish. It may not get them any karma points, but then as I said before, it may make someone very happy who couldn't attend the party but want a memento of it. So it would seem to even out. Tiki-bot "No more MaD TiKi 4 U!" [ Edited by: Tiki-bot on 2002-10-10 14:56 ]
