OK what am I missing? The bidder has free will to go as high as they want. I don't think $23 for a current strike is a very wise decision. Is that a copper ring or just my eyes?

As for the BB I've made life pretty easy for myself. Any message in all caps and anyone who's name is ALL CAPS, (until I find an exception) is ignored. Suddenly it's become more enjoyable to read the messages here.

It was so simple I couldn't understand why I didn't think of it sooner. No empty debates or arguments that are baited just to create controversy.

I have nothing against ads and auction offers. For those interested they may be of interest. For me, they get a pass.

What's left? All the requests for information, which are educational when I read the responses. All the discussions on strikes and types. Just what I really wanted.
