Message:: [QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2278336, member: 17665"]I'm sorry you feel the way you do but try and understand, there have been some of us who have collected for 50 years or more. We are not trying to throw you a sucker punch but we have seen the results over the years of self made oddities being sold as "rarities", "unique", "one of a kind" and so on to unsuspecting newbies and those that are easily drawn in by such catch phrases, only to find out after the fact that they have indeed been sucker punched. And yes, there are people here who troll just to find fault but we also manage to sort these folks out and simply ignore their bad taste in useless critisism. This forum is no different (thought the majority would like it to be better) than FB, Twitter or any other countless social networks that do exactly the same.  Your heart is in the right place but once you post you should be prepared for both positive and negative results. And some of us are just having a bit of fun with others and usually follow a wry comment with a smiley. Take the positives and tuck them in your pocket and take the negatives and toss them over your shoulder. And bragging rights are sometimes well deserved, especially when someone finds that key coin and is able to afford and add it to their life long search as being a done deal. I hope you change your mind and stick around, it will be worth your while in the long run. Have a great day and "Don't Worry, Be happy".  Tom[/QUOTE]
