In the recent thread on the seller of Chinese Counterfeits who was convicted, we were warned to cease and desist by @desertgem. I'm asking for a...
I'm asking the question as to why I'm instructed to stop my anti-Carr posting while the pro-Carr posters allowed to operated unheeded. If I have...
It will haunt my nightmares for decades to come. I'll never be able to rest without knowing how to answer this enigmatic and elusive question!
Wow. Congrats. That is an extremely attractive token. Where does it place in the condition census for the variety? I'm assuming that with such a...
I'm really confused by this thread. I'm not sure if it's the bottle of well-aged Bordeaux, of if the OP just doesn't make much sense. May'be I'll...
If the anti-Carr's can't post our opinions, why can the pro-Carr's post their obvious counterfeit and illegal purchases? If we're going to get...
