hey toybot... you may be unintentionally blowing up auctions for people. Thanks for the help, but I don't think you need to post so many auction links.

Rhino, I thought about this before and I think there are two sides of the coin...

I agree with you that I may be unintentionally blowing up auctions for people. If so, I apologize.

The other side is that other thoughtful boardmembers have posted YJA links which alerted me to items that I ended up winning so I was grateful. (and no, no other boardmembers were bidding)

Let me ask: If a boardmember is looking for an item and I know one is up for auction on eBay or YJA, what should a thoughtful boardmember do? Ignore the request for fear of blowing up the auction or post a link and help out the member?

but in an effort to be more sensitive, I will refrain from posting auction links and keep quiet.

btw, it wasn't me that first posted this auction link...

well... if u know a particular member is looking for an item, it's cool to PM them a link to help them out. I just think that if u put in the effort into searching the auction sites alot... you should be rewarded for wasting all that time and not have the auction blown because someone else who isn't looking for it stumbles upon it.

In the U.S. anyway, Ghosts and Goblins was the first game. Ghouls and Ghosts was a later one (sequel).
