From my admittedly tiny would-be buyer’s viewpoint, the Ancients market has become difficult indeed. I keep coming up far short on the things I...

Nope. Much bigger pond.
Not me, alas. I need to get back to work. Still haven't run my night audit, which I should've done around 2:00 AM... *sigh* Dang CoinTalk......
