I'm sure he would be happy to explain to you but instead you attack him as

me understand the problem. How is paying more in an auction being
"an
irresponsible renegade"? What is the downside of someone paying more
for stuff other than raising our own costs. If I had deeper pockets, I'd
pay a lot more for thing I really wanted.
There is nothing wrong with overpaying now and then if you can afford it.
I'd love to have a Curta 1 calculator, but I haven't got the spare five
grand. If I were rich, and saw one for sale immediately at $7,000, would I
buy it? Perhaps. But what if I started buying every Curta to be found for
that price, and refused to tell anyone my identity or intentions? irresponsible.
Dennis's reasons are his own business! No one made you the police of
computer sales! Assholes like you are the reason that I quit collecting HP
calculators and dumped my entire collection!
