Maybe because YOU the collectors are only trying to get one or two badges of each GLO, whereas WE the members are trying to save as many as humanly possible. Oftentimes, we have to let a few go that we would love to save simply because we've already bought 6 others in the same month -- and had to pay MUCH MORE than we would have if a COLLECTOR hadn't been bidding AGAINST us.
You're right. I'm an educated person. I've taken Economics 101. Add Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Global Economics to that and you'll have 4 of the courses that I made A's in during college. I understand supply and demand perfectly.
However, money is NOT the issue here. You keep trying to make it the issue because you don't want to admit that collecting these badges from a GLO of which you are not a member is an act that is not condoned by the GLO, and is wrong - maybe not legally, but morally in the eyes of other Greeks. And sometimes the morality of something is more important than the legality.
I agree with shadokat in that this subject is just a very touchy one. You're never going to agree with me on it, and I'm never going to agree with you. You seem like a nice person, wptw, but we just don't see eye to eye on this particular issue. Let's just drop it and move on to keep the peace, okay?
