to let the Groop know, in over 9 years on eBay, I have never sold a single Groo

I wasn't one of the ones who chastised you about possibly selling Groo stuff. I

nothing wrong with the former. Just as there is nothing wrong with buying
a Groo page of other drawing from Sergio for $400 and then trying to sell it for
$500. Sergio got what he wanted for the item for and the buyer is just
practicing old fashioned capitalism. It's taking advantage
of Sergio's good will that is so damnable.
