You're right, Mike, but how did it last this long?

Embarrassing.

I would hope if I ever slip and put something in my auction that isn't right that someone here would notify me directly!

You'd think abhuge auction house would have some sort of an employee who's job it was to look at things.
Putting thin s on social media is by far the fastest way to get a response. The winds of change be blowing.

And there was one upset auction owner (lost his password) a few days ago who really wanted back on the board for a reason. I guess he wanted to see what else he missed besides this ball? MEARS has been a good company in the past and I would trust Troy to do the right thing.

I wouldn't mind it being posted, I'm all for transparency/accountability, but if I'm not checking the boards a personal heads-up would be appreciated!
