I am continually amazed at the amount of intelligent folks that continue to say not to auction the item when it's been reiterated that it is not going to be. As a matter of fact the helmet will most likely be sold in a private sale resulting from this thread.....But please....keep convincing me about not doing it. BTW, it really was a good debate otherwise....best regards |

That postcard is interesting, but perhaps a little misleading. Swastika is a Sanskrit term and is found in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain literature. Since there is no "L" in Sanskrit, I don't see how its iconography could possible symbolize the love, life, etc. It is a nice sentiment, but was probably made by somebody with good intentions and half-knowledge. |

So why so pissy on the last post Leon? You did ask for more feedback on the question you raised. |

Sometimes we can say things on the board that seem to get overlooked and folks keep at the subject. I did want feedback, got it with respect to having it in the auction, then made an easy decision not to do it. I then reiterated it as I think folks were still trying to convince me not to do it. After that you seemed to be trying to convince me not to do it too...which I had reiterated wasn't going to happen. HOWEVER I did say to continue the debate so it's my bad for not being more explanatory. It was my mistake for not saying something like "please continue the debate in general but my mind is made up."......so my apologies .....regards |

Jim, I've only forwarded you the Lama's quotes that I learned from Caddyshack. Please don't burst my bubble and tell me that they aren't genuine. |

I think it is an important piece of history I wouldn't mind having it myself as a reminder of a sad time in world history. However, from a public relations and business perspective I would not list it in the auction. The risk of potential fall out is not worth the reward. |

I believe several times above I stated it won't be run in our auction. There was someone interested in this item and I am happy to say it has a new home with someone that collects this kind of stuff. I made nothing off of it but just put 2 people in touch......it was a happy ending....and our first auction should be pretty good without this controversial item.. |

I definitely wouldn't do it, Leon. Let us know what you decide. |

Hey Leon -- what's with putting Hitler's car up on your inaugral auction? |
