Re: (rshsdepot) Selling items on list

Warning: The following message is tongue-in-cheek.

Seth, do your items have a half-life of less than seven days...Do you think
the bottom will drop out of the market on some item you find to sell on
Monday. let's say, but would have to wait for Friday (or it could be made a
Wednesday, or maybe just the Ides of each month.....)?

OK if it was just the Ides of each month then you would have a valid gripe..

Personally I don't care any which way....usually if I see something I like I
wait until I want to actually buy it anyway...
