I try to be as respectful as possible in my approach. My attention is not to
spam or cause a problem, but to simply make you aware that it's going on.
I'm not here to pressure anyone and my intention was to post only once. I
apologize for the interruption.

 None of my business, but I am guessing possibly 1000 other auction
companies around the country would enjoy free advertising also.

Just my 2 cents.
