People are selling this guy cards without payment in full? Every time I hear about someone getting their arms ripped off by sticking them in the cage to feed a lion, my first thought is how tragic and horrible it is. My second thought is, "Why the hell are they sticking their arms in a lion's cage? It's a freaking lion. What did they think was going to happen???"

It can be "Seller beware," too. The saying doesn't just have to apply to buyers.

And I'm about as lenient as it comes as far as letting people pay after sending them the cards first.

The sellers I know are not shipping until paid in full. The deals were made but are awaiting consummation.

Enjoy yourself and try not to take it personal. Some in this crowd have nothing better to do than try to rain on your parade.

Personally, I just ran 8 miles, slept on the beach for 2 hours, then came here to rain on Adrian's parade. Next I'm taking the dog to the park, then we're going to sit in a beer garden for happy hour. Might even come back and rain on Adrian's parade some more. In fact, I might write a song and use that line..."someone left a card out in the rain...."

Gotta go - say "hello" to Randy for me!

(someone should go into the pedestal-building business )

Although not specifically targeted at anyone in particular, I must have touched a nerve. I leave you the same words of wisdom. Try not to take things too personal.

Well, Scott, everyone knows that it rains a lot in Seattle. That's what makes the pedestals a bit slippery out there.

Some of those sellers must feel like Anne of Cleves.

Default Anne of cleves

Of all posts this wins a prize for needing most historical knowledge to understand. Henry the eighth found Anne repulsive and never consummated their marriage. At least she kept her head. I assume the sellers will have a happy marriage and consummate these sales.

I've recently decided to start treating all of you like the Barry's. If I'm mistaken, then the worst that can happen is I either leave you confused, or thinking I'm an idiot, and with the latter you would be in good company.

Default The Coin Deal

Ok, here is how I believe this coin deal went down:

Adrian met with a foreign buyer who arrived in his private jet at an undisclosed airport somewhere in Canada. This had all been previously arranged. Adrian arrived at the secret location first. After about 20 minutes he began to pace nervously and then, in the distance, he could see a black, no change that, a *white* limo approaching. The limo pulled up and came to a stop. The door opened and a dark tanned man in a white suit wearing a fedora hat stepped out. He had a suitcase. It was the mysterious foreign buyer! The buyer asked Adrian to open his suitcase, which he did. The buyer stepped forward to see the valuable coin inside - the very coin that would finance Adrian's pending card purchases!!! But then Adrian said "Not so fast, let's see the cash first". The buyer open his suitcase and Adrian counted the money while the buyer inspected the coin. The buyer nodded his approval of the coin and Adrian was satisfied after counting the money. They exchanged suitcases. The mysterious buyer then said "Ciao baby" as he got into his limo and sped off to parts unknown. Adrian got into his car and yelled out loud "Vindicated at last!!!" as he sped off in his car.

Fade to black and roll the credits ...

So is that pretty much how this deal went down Adrian?
