You are welcome to give a value, as is anyone else here, but I am not going to; others can do the moderating.

I apologize Ed. Rest assured I will not do it again. I think a lot of you and the efforts you put into both forums...not many people would sacrifice their time to do the job you do. A PM would have been a better alternative, so thank you for pointing that out.
Having said that, you are quick to call out someone that has erred, so I guess we are birds of a feather. To my mind, the proper response to Postino's post would have been: "oops, I didn't notice that, thank you for pointing it out", and then, in your experience you might have given an alternative value if you wanted to.
You are in the business of buying, selling and trading all the time, much more than me. I occasionally will venture a guess on the value of a scarce/rare early item, but for the most part have no idea of what the current market is on anything. I rely on guys like you to keep me informed, and when you obviously have mis-valued something, I think you should have the opportunity to use your enviable expertise to make a correction.
Very respectfully,
Ron
