Hi Sonny...

    And there is no way in hell the items you are selling ever spent time on
a trailer behind your RV or IN your RV, right? Not under a seat or in the
bathroom or even in the middle of the floor. Nothing ever gets bought at a
meet you attended with the RV Toter, correct?

    From your post of 24 DEC 05 Titled "Truck Turned Recreation Vehicle" you
stated " I'm strictly a collector of motorscooters, motorcycles, old farm
tractors, and military vehicles among other things too numerous to go in to.
I do not sell anything at the shows I attend, I only exibit for free. I do
not ask for nor would I accept donations just to make myself clear on that."

    But you don't state that you never BUY stuff at meets that you resell
from home. Which you wouldn't do, because that WOULD BE commerce, wouldn't
it?

   Again, you state " I'm strictly a collector of motorscooters,
motorcycles, old farm tractors, and military vehicles among other things..."
ONE used HMMWV hood for sale indicates a collector getting rid of excess
junk collected in the pursuit of the hobby. 6 used HMMWV hoods, HMMWV

Transfer Case take outs Several, Silicone Brake Fluid 12 ea. $25.00 ea
gal. for sale indicate a .... what?

    I'm just a little cranky about the protestations of the folks in the
hobby who claim they NEVER try to make back a modicum of money off of the
junk we buy and sell. If you just BUY, you're a collector. If you

occasionally sell something you bought because you no longer have a use for
it, you're human. If you buy and sell stuff to make a profit and claim to
the whole world you don't, that would make you a four letter word that
rhymes with buyer!

To paraphrase Shakespeare, Sonny, "You doth protest too much, methinks". If
it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck..... Well,
all I can say is "Go Get him, TJ!"

I wish you luck selling the stuff that somehow fell off of SOMEBODY'S
truck/trailer/RV toter in your yard......
