I can only hope that this means "good news" for Sellam.
Something probably got cut off. Probably on me. Anyway it is still there.

Guess it'd be better if it didn't sell and got scrapped, as long as those
heinous thieves didn't make any money?
Exactly what is gained by folks on this and a few other lists not bidding on
these items as Sellam demanded, other than keeping prices low for everyone
else (a good thing, for them) and increasing the likelihood that they don't
sell and get scrapped instead (a bad thing IMO) ?
He lost my sympathy when he threatened to sue anyone in this community (that
has been so supportive over the years) if they bought any of his items.
Ironically, in the extremely unlikely event that he got back the money made
from selling his stuff then the folks in this community
would actually
probably be the _most_ likely to be willing to sell it back to
him...
