I hope these individuals realize that they are being used. I can understand a reluctance to participate in this forum, for whatever reason, but to actively take measures to hide one's collection and discussions from "the masses" smacks of being just damn weird. So if Sven sees a mug from some obscure bar (let's say The Volcano) on the Illuminati forum, and some schlub on TC (let's say me) asks for info on collectibles from The Volcano, Sven isn't allowed to share his secret knowledge? That's pretty fucked up. I can understand a private trading group but rest of it is just freakin' bizarre. I'm guessing that this is also a ploy to regulate ebay competition amongst the cabal. Hula, I'm guessing you're outta the group. :wink: I don't know why but this post reminds me of when I was a kid and I'd flip over the concrete rain gutter thingy next to the house and peer at all the strange creatures that lived in the mud and shunned the daylight. Why wasn't maxifac invited? :-?
