Don't know what the Usage Policy on the Chip board is but the fact remains that on the Strike message board the Usage Policy says No items for sale, if the chip board is different then maybe you should have read the Usage Policy for the Strike board before breaking the rules.
If you list hunderds of items in auction then why did you say the reason you didn't put these items in auction was the auction site or sites weren't user friendly ??
Heck you put as much effort into listing the items for sale on this board as you would have had you listed them in auction, I still think you were avoiding the fees, if not send Greg a donation equal to the fees you saved on the ones you sold, I am sure he would like it.
