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 |

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. |
