    That's not actually as simple a question as it seems. In fact, no one is "buried" in Grant's tomb. Grant's body is in a marble sarcophagus raised on a plinth well above the floor of the rotunda.

    I bought some cabbage yesterday to make some salad with. I hold the stupid record for at least a day.

    I made sausage gravy for breakfast Sunday and used cornmeal instead of flour. Only good thing was everyone was hungry and said it wasn't too bad.

    In this case Chris, it was definitely true!

    It was dumb, dumb, dumb but I did catch myself before anybody saw the thread.

    Cabbage can make a rather nice salad!

    Ok, here's what happened so tell me that this wasn't stupid.

    I bought two of the 2016 Gold Standing Liberty coins.

    After a day of no nibbles for $600 BIN (both were in the same listing) and fearing I'd be left holding the bag, I dropped the BIN to $560.

    One coin sold within the hour.

    After I printed my shipping label and calculated my net proceeds which, after fee's amounted to a $10 profit, I raised the price up to $570.

    The second coin sold within 2 hours to a California buyer where sales tax was collected.

    I then filled in my tracking spread sheet and noticed that the Final Value fee's were different as I was charged more for the California Buyer and started to entertain the idea that eBay was charging a Final Value Fee on Sales Tax.

    I was going to post something along the lines of how I thought it was wrong for them to do so and just as I hit the "Post" button, it dawned on me that, no, ebay doesn't charge a FVF for sales tax but the difference in fee's was because one sold for more than the other!

    Like I said, it was stupid.

    So there you have it.

    It was stupid.

    Much appreciated fellas, but I can't stand cabbage and no recipe will fix that.

    In my "social circle" your Faux Pas is commonly known as a "Senior Moment", practiced more often than some would like to admit. It hasn't a relationship to intelligence, but maybe stress/memory.

    I've learned to laugh at myself (more often than I'd like to admit)!!

    JMHO
