The closest minutes of the wining post was Saturday June 25, 2005 7:16 PM

by TommyType image






I had this coin listed on eBay opening at 99c with no reserve that just ended.

It had picked up one watcher, and I was so close to a sale I could taste it, but when it came time to close the deal he didn't pull the trigger and now the wolf's at ol' Gil's door.image

Since I couldn't sell it to one of the nice people on eBay for ninety-nine cents I'll try giving it away to make my sales quota.

For a chance to win this Jefferson gem, just reply with your answer to the question

Why does Russ love this place image

Later tonight I'll check this thread and who ever has the best answer won't win anything, but I'll check the minutes portion of the time when I come back and whoever's post time minutes is closest, without going over, will win the coin.

    Because he gets to post his custom phrase:

    schaden-freude

    Russ loves this place for the entertainment value of conflict and humor amongst the posters.

    Because it's instrumental to him making a profit, that and he has a lot of fun at it along the way.

    He is also the only self proclaimed Ferengi and no one has yet accused him of being a Trekkie.

    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    I would've bid on it for 99 cents.Was your S&H $14.95 ? image J/K.

    I think the market may be slowing down a touch.




    I believe Russ thrives on conflict.Or he just likes to educate poeple on Kennedy halves and proof grading.

    I believe you misunderstand. When he types that he loves this place, he is referring to where he is, at that point in time. Could be home, could be work, could be that internet cafe on the corner. Wherever he's at, that's where he is, and he loves it, man.

  • ccexccex Posts: 1,188 ✭✭✭
    Russ' numerous posts here are the most effective way to advertise his hobby of collecting "modern crap" preserved in plastic -- also at no cost to him.

    kindof like the mountain climber who climbs it "because it's there"

    because it's here ... and we put up with him image

    I'd like to thank the Academy.......

    I briefly considered refusing to accept the prize, once again proving Relayer "couldn't give that coin away", but I was afraid he'd start crying. image
