I'm not going to take a lot of time on this, but:

1) The DAY this pin was listed, I let the seller know that it wasn't vintage, it was from 2004. She did not change the listing.
2) Concerning our pin; save the bravissimos. Maybe you don't care, but we do.
3) We (as GC) haven't "fought" together for one pin in a long time. We did, and will continue to do so, because we DO know who originally bought this pin. The value of either the seller or buyer is nothing compared to that of smiley.
4. As you talk about what it's like to be a pin collector/ebay seller, do you know what it's like to have a list of other women whose pins were stolen, having them beg you to please join them in a search for their pin?
5. I made a reasonable offer to the buyer, offering him an identical ADPi pin whose owner choose to sell it in exchange for this particular pin. Again, no response.
6. We're doing our best to play nice. Don't lump those who threaten in with us and expect us to think you're intelligent.

Thank you for showing us the viewpoint of "the other side".
