I do not advertise much on the List and have not suffered so far this kind of problem that you are describing Michael, but I agree with you as I would not enjoy at all this to happen to me. Selling does not mean "no respect" or "at all costs" and a minimum of consideration to other dealers and to collectors who buy material, is an absolute necessity. Thanks for this e-mail Michael,
