I hope RAT stays an open forum

The obvious reasons being......

M.VIB.M.

Oh the pain, the pain.

The reason is two fold:
1) I don’t want to tip other collectors that there’s a piece up for sale.

2) There are some people and places that only sell items discreetly, (all legally with export papers and everything) and they don’t want it posted on open forums, they only deal directly with certain collectors and buyers. They’re not selling things illegally, but it’s their choice to keep a low profile. It’s not up to me to question them, it’s their choice, and I respect it.

So when I post a picture and am asking question about it, its not that I’m selling or buying something illegal, it’s just as I said, as a private collector that is contacted by certain people or groups, I can’t always divulge the source. So I’m just throwing out a picture here and there and asking question, nothing more.
