thank you for your esteemed reply! okay, i will apologize for calling you a show off. but if you have replied before then i would have seen you in another light. you are right, it is not against the rules to not reply but then IMHO a simple "Its not for sale." below your pictures would have been sufficient, yes?

i do admire your collection, dont get me wrong. i have stated that this is a community which communicates. get this, i do not know you but when i try to talk to you, you don't reply. the last time i checked, communication is two way. how would you react in my shoes? its perfectly understandable if you dont want to sell it to us, but again, at least say it. is it so hard to do so? how would i have known you did trades only with people close to you if you didnt tell me? by your non-reply the obvious assumption would be that you dont do trades at all, or even want to talk to anyone. my point is: just tell us.

and frankly, IMHO i do not think im whining. if i was, ill be going like: "WHY AHKAIZZ DONT SELL ME STUFF WAN! WHY LA WHY LA WHYYYYYY? SELL TO ME LA! I WAN THAT THUNT! Sell me pls!!!1!!!11!!!!one1!!!!" (x100). I am just simply a new collector trying to engage a conversation with you (thus, i apologized for calling you a show off..cos that was just out of frustration and a bit of an attention grabber).

so yes, i would like to thank you again for replying. hopefully we can meet someday, i would love to see all of your collection if you would share the view of it with me.
