Nah, I don't really collect any longer. Haven't bought or sold a badge in probably 4 years now. I frankly don't care about either the seller or the buyer. I don't know either of them.
Who said I don't care? I gave you some practical advice. Just seems to me with all these resources, the rescue effort could have been a lot more effective. Emotion clouded judgment in my opinion.
The world doesn't much care what's important to you, and an enormous engine of commerce like ebay is not going to grind to a halt for you. Yet many of you seem to expect it to, which I think limits your ability to effectively rescue badges. Take that for what it's worth. If it's rude, so be it. I tend to find inconvenient truths somewhat rude as well, but c'est la vie.
I can't help but shake the feeling that if it was my badge up there,
armageddon couldn't prevent me from getting my bid in. But whatever, that's me.
My wish is for Smiley to have her badge back, and in fact I think she'll eventually be successful if she plays it the right way. That is, unless the seller or the winning bidder happen to read this thread (which should tell you something).
uncrash,
