    Glenn, just for interest sake... you would not have bought that Slinger? I know you need one.... and is a big want for you. Are you stating that given that chance at the $2000 price point you would NOT have bought it but rather informed him that it is too low a price?
    I'm moving this topic, since it's more of a dialogue topic than auction revalation. Is it unethical to knowingly play along by showing a semi-interest in a "pretty good book", and then pay, say, less than 1/4 the value of a truly sought after gem? Would it matter if that seller were doing so to pay his rent in light of current circumstances, or maybe disregarded if an unwise retired chemist were selling some random books? I ask because I'm struggling with what I just did...but I still did it. I just made the deal of the decade, which I'll reveal later this week when it arrives. (RF, you'll be eating crow on this one for that payment plan. 8))

    We have a thread debating the ethics of "flipping". We could merge posts into that thread, or start a new thread discussing the ethics of buying something at far below market value without letting the seller know. There are some quirks in creating a new thread and trying to merge older posts (the older posts precede the first post in a new thread).

    Gotcha. Still coming to terms with how many threads and topics there are here. For the record, aside from my physical reaction when I get it, this acquisition won't be a flip.

    Celebrated my son's graduation from college today... BS in Culinary Nutrition (had him come home from Providence last night)....my wife's graduation idea...

    We invited several families we/he is close to...they parked along the curb...we decorated the yard with a balloon sculpture of a chef, yard sign, balloons along walkway etc. We had him walk down center of our street (to pomp and circumstance music) as our/his friends cheered and clapped...we handed out specially made cookies with University logo + others in shape of mortarboard (and his school colors)...Simple but very nice way to celebrate him...two kids now graduated and one to go. Lasted one hour and COVID distancing adhered to...SIGH...now at other job....

    Thanks, but I never left. I guess the "Quarantine" didn't exactly stir up conversation for me anyway. The world is getting increasingly weird and dangerous out there, but I'm trying to remain optimistic about things. I have to, I have children and grandchildren and I'd like to hope there will be something left for them in the future.

    Things are looking up here. The county just approved outdoor dining, public pools and a few other things. Next week counties have the option of opening Hotels for tourism, bars and wineries (that don't serve food). The wife, my daughter and I are going out to eat tonight to our favorite local restaurant. First time dining out since we were on vacation in February.

    Sounds like you are a little in front of us Jerome as regards the easing of restrictions.
    However with social distancing remaining in place, it will be extremely difficult for restaurants and bars to be viable concerns, as and when they are allowed to open.
    Have a good evening.

    We went out to eat on Thursday afternoon. Was nice to partake in something that used to be for granted.

    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
