    You can see that my first name is Rich and my last name contains "Rich". During my working career, a coworker nicknamed me "Richie Rich" but that name wasn't available here so I went with "RichieURich".

    I love Ebay, but I bid in the last 10 seconds all the time. So my handle means SNIPER in a diferent language. As far as the Icon just haven't found the right coin yet!

    My handle pays deference to a "holy grail" coin, the 1874 CC dime. image

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    Hey Rex!!

    Have you been to the Rare Records Forum
    we have here??

    Just go to the upper right and click on
    "Navigation", then click on "Rare Records
    Forum" to go there.

    Go there and teach us all about collecting
    rare Beatles records. The forum needs
    more input, and that's a fact!!

    When my wife and I first got a computer we wanted to buy something on Ebay. We were not very creative. I wanted Red Wing fan , she wanted Avalanche fan. So we agreed on hockeyfan , however someone already had that on Ebay. So I decided to honor Gordie Howe #9 from the Red Wings. After seeing how creative other people were my wife decided to create her own ID's and me being lazy, I decided to keep hockeyfan9.

    I use my ebay handle I established in 1997 for just about everything, modified to some extent and it is not a readable name. I guess I got a little tired of the same old thing for once. I have a black goatee, so I figured BlackBeard would be a little different for a change. I tried another name or two first and they were taken, so I went off the beaten path. BlackMustache just didn't sound as interesting.image

    Care to elaborate there, new member who just joined in May 2007?
    You wouldn't happen to be an alt, would you?

    You wouldn't mind giving full information when you say stuff like you did, would you?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
