Hi Booth, welcome to the loony bin. Most of these people are harmless, they've just got too much time on their hands. What do you specialize in?

Loons, complete loons, one and all!
This is starting to sound like the beginnings of a soap opera. Who's gonna write the script?
Any suggestions for a name?
And with that said, I am now, as my son's Scottish friend used to say, OOF-skay! The Chuck is on the table in the corner. Please do help yourselves. Roadsmith will deliver if you can't make it to the corner on your own.
See you in the morning!
Lucy
P.S. It just occured to me we haven't heard from Booth since his original post. Do you think we scared him off?

Wait! wait! I know! I was going to suggest that I could be the Mother-in-Law--but now. . . I think the TOPLESS Mother-in-Law Cocktail Waitress would be just the best of all worlds.
And NO PICTURES. Ever.
I think we've scared Booth off. Too explicit? Too graphic? Too stunningly humorous and clever?
This is sounding like one of those olllld party games where someone starts a story, passes it on, someone adds to it, etc. etc.

Bizzy...I hate to shatter your perception, by Lucy is correct. Don't let the secret out though. Gotta make Classic a mushroom. Keep him in the dark and feed him BS
Booth...Welcome to the asylum. Feel free to ask any questions about online auctions. If we don't know the correct answer, we'll give you an incorrect answer. Either way, you'll get an answer.

Welcome Booth - you are lucky - you caught this crew on a mellow day. You should see them when they get silly.
I notice over in RT (I am one of the few cross overs between both folders) that you are in Hong Kong - Is that a full time location or just on a buying trip?

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Hi Meow,
Yeah, this is a fairly nutso bunch but we're all here to help everyone else! Like Sparkz said, if we don't have the right answer we'll give you the wrong one!
Okay, so? At least you got an answer...
Just like last night, the Chuck is on the table in the corner. Please do help yourself.

Speaking of crazy? Did anyone watch Dr Phil today? I was at work listening to it on my radio (they broadcast that station here over the radio). Anyway, they were talking about people having compulsive behaviors or doing strange things.
I guess this one lady liked pink so much that she got a white cat and had its fur dyed pink. Poor kitty. This woman should be fined for animal cruelty. It was funny but sad at the same time.
Since I am a cat lover (can't you tell?), I just couldn't believe that she did that.

Meow: I saw Dr. Phil, too. The girl who wants to weigh 600 pounds and eats 14,000 calories a day - only up to 300+ now - is certifiably crazy.
The lady who loved PURPLE was very much like my husband's aunt, who died 10 years ago at 84. All her life purple was her favorite color--to excess. When people asked her about it, she just said "What other color is there?" She was college-educated, married with no children, very intelligent, taught 3rd grade for about 35 years, world traveler. Everywhere she went, she got purple stuff. I told her it was a real racket; every time anyone in the family saw something purple, they'd say, "Aunt Dorothy would like that," and bought it for her! She got 'way more presents than the average person.
When she died, we processed her estate. Purple dishes, dishwasher, dyed mink stole, carpeting, drapes, furniture, doodads, knickknacks, glass fruit, closet full of size 4-6 purple polyester dresses (or pink), purple and pink shoes, bedspread. You get the picture. Amethyst jewelry, too, though.
We inherited her mountain cabin. A horror of purple - 70s-type purple. Beamed ceilings, beams painted ugly green with mod pink-purple-orange wallpaper in between the beams. Purple pottery for 40--including quadruple s&p, teapots, serving bowls and platters--etc. Many in our family occasionally wear purple, but auntie had so overdone it that no one wanted any of those purple dishes at all. Sold them to some gay guys from Palm Springs. Purple sheets, towels, etc. - it took us 3 summers to de-purple the place and get it painted.
She didn't have that acquisitive compulsion to buy purple things just because they were purple. She was discriminating, in her own way. Neat lady, everybody's favorite aunt, but gaga over one color.
dear all, my name is Cherry, a Chinese lady, living in Hong Kong. I have been to eBay since last November, and just started my business on vendio store. Please feel free to have a look.

Hi Cherry,
There are a couple of passengers here on the good ship HMS Vendio who know quite a bit about things Asian. I'm sure they'll be interested in what you can share.
