If they want to know more, I am more than willing to talk to them. But I am not going to grab them by the arm and keep them from walking away before I get a chance to educate them. You have to pick and chose your battles.
As for the scam I mentioned, no, I never bought anything from them. Why would I? How many times did I offer them cards? About 3 or 4 times before I figured out the scam. No, they didn't force anything pay their outrageous prices, but they created an artificial market based on lies. This is what a scam artist does, whether they are selling baseball cards or swamp land in Louisiana.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
