Sadly, RCAChild, it's just that TV collecting has become another "Sport of Kings", just like vintage cars did long ago. I was so angry when my offer wasn't taken seriously on a fine old Cadillac 25+ years ago

I realize it's hard not to be jealous of those with money elsewhere in the world, but don't let those bloody frogs (British humor) become a magnet for your emotions. Or global warming for that matter. These are subjects for another forum. I am so saddened by all the nice folks who head for this site with a belly-full of talking points from rant radio. Remember, there isn't a dime's worth of difference between the two U.S. political parties, and they both pay outfits like FOX or AirAmerica big bucks to sway you their way!
