    WHAT AN INSULT TO THE "old ham"

    let's name this buyer the crook clown on Simpson's.  Side
    Show Bob 1 (ssb1)  SSB1 might have at least had the couth to
    sell 'em @ next fest.

    But no ssb1 flogs 'em to ssb2,

So the whole supply chain shows up.  Fast buck ssb1 & ssb2 the hoser who has
high school kid w. q-tips  "make it premium."

This gypsy-hawking predator behavior on hobbiests really rankles my 
sitting spot.
