Yeah, people made money, but didn't you notice 
that lots of collectors suddenly bailed out. 
Wonder why comics used to sell regularly in the 
100's of thousands. Most people don't like chroma 
covers. The only reason they bought them was 
because they thought they would make money. 

AS for what I'm against and what I'm not. I am 
against people buying from Yahoo strictly to 
resell. Yann argued that he didn't do it -- he 
was cleaning out his collection. And I did answer 
your question -- is calling my explanation long 
winded mean that you simply read things poorly.:P

As for everyone having a price. This is what 
everyone wants to believe. Hopefully there are 
things that are more important than money. Even 
in that dumb show Survivors, Gretchen argued 
against voting blocks -- she'd rather be voted 
off and lose a million then be a part of this 
sort of behaviour. Stupid or idealistic. I'm sort 
of disgustd with the idea of everyone having a 
price. That everything is for sale. :P
