The point? You responded. QED.

I just paid $10 a slice for mediocre O-toro here in NNJ and would happily pay for Fedex vacuum-sealed overnight delivery for both of us if you can get your pal to send us each a pound.

This is the last adventure my dad and I had together. He always wanted to get to Alaska so we finally did, last August. He passed away about 9 weeks later.

Very cool you got your dad up there before his passing.

ColonelJessup, I am pretty sure there is no such thing as mediocre O-toro, unless it has already "turned".
I met Larry Goldberg's personal sushi chef Nobu Matsuhisa in 1984. Larry called ahead and got Tony and I a table for lunch at the eponymous dive on La Cienega. It was explained that there were two grades of O-toro and more of chu-toro. My palate is incapable of discriminating between 67+B and 67A-, but I know it was mediocre because it didn't have a strip of very thin and edible 24K gold foil on it. Only in Beverly Hills.
Mediocre O-toro, as are "military intelligence" and "jumbo shrimp", is a expression of ironic hyperbole. Apparently you think my jokes are much funnier when I'm buying the wine

Actually, I am bummed sitting in my office because many of my friends are trolling in the Pacific Ocean right now and catching huge Blue Fin Tuna.
But be happy -- you don't have to fit a fish that size into a little can !

I have often ironically savored Leonard Cohen's observation "He was starving in some deep mystery, like a man who is sure what is true". Be reassured that if you're not confused, you haven't been paying attention. Your existential riddles solved below:
1) eBay offers unfettered world-class access to its counterfeits database.
2) What some characterize as hyperbole others credit as "alternative facts", while yet others hope it's late night comedy. As examples: once-in-a-lifetime, middle-class tax cut, 68+. stable genius
3) You are feeding the puppies without declaring them as dependents. That is called "making a living"

The subtle work of a brilliant troll
Does that job pay by the word or the column-inch?
Just trolling the trolls.

Please stop.
Stop the constant ebay bashing?

These have some nice toning...

I never fished the Pacific for Blue Fin Tuna... but I used to go salmon fishing every year... great fun and good dinners... Cheers, RickO
I hope there is plenty of Sun Screen to pass around, or
"Blue" won't be the only color seen.

That's what I'm talking about. Nice and congratulations!!!!
I am a coin dealer wash out, I admit it. I would make more money scavenging aluminum cans, living in a van down by the river.

The eBay bashers simply cant stand the competition.
Just got a text asking if I want some super fresh caught bluefin tuna, um duh, heck ya, I will be over bro .....
I'd complain about walk ins, but they're better than 'shut-outs".


And junk sells on eBay too.

I have this 200 year old safe....never mind.
I love ebay, except sometimes...

eBay plays an important roll in the lives of all collectors and sellers, in one way or another - even those like me who never use it.
I recognize the opportunity it gives sellers like the OP, the opportunity it gives buyers, and the frustrations it brings.
Let's all get along, please.
Good thread. My Mediterranean diet appreciates the photo reminders.
Troll away, young man....
A bit of levity is welcome on the weekend!

There is a lot of good coins on ebay……..you just have to wade thru the crap.
Yes, there are some buyers out there that are real "TOOLS" to put it mildly.

The bass will be up early tomorrow.
San Diego Airport.
Not my fish tho as it is my friends fish all 160 pounds of it.
I was just at his house and we ate smoked Bluefin Collars that were insanely tasty. The meat was dripping with super flavorful tuna fat.
They sent me home with the biggest tuna chunk that I have ever been given.
Dinner tomorrow will be seared BFT Tuna. Maybe some sushi or poke as well.
Yum, poke!!
What is eBay? What is hyperbole? What is “making a living in the coin business”? I am so confused!

Those are real nice Bull!
EBay should pay some of you for the vast amounts of time spent defending or promoting eBay.
And maybe sue some for constant bashing.
Does ian pay the GC fans?
