<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 299507, member: 106&quot;]Well, this certainly spiraled out of control, didn&#039;t it?&nbsp; I now wish I had &#039;spoken up&#039; last night, but at the time it looked as if moreotherstuff was going to be able to defuse the situation - and I&#039;m not that skilled at putting cohesive thoughts together - but now, I&#039;m sorry I stayed quiet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am surprised when someone I only know casually asks the cost of something that was obviously expensive ... chalk it up to differences in how/where they were raised, and I try to give a very vague answer, to avoid being rude (and move on to another subject).</p><p><br /></p><p>Did everyone else miss where Richard DID answer the cost question?&nbsp; After Barn Owl gave his/her estimation of a price (not worth) around $1500+, Richard answered &quot;A little more but not much.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; There ya go!&nbsp; Answered, in a vague (not rude) manner.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that [USER=6047]@Richard Porter[/USER] changes his mind and sticks around, but wouldn&#039;t blame him for leaving after the &#039;welcome&#039; that he received on his first post to the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>What strikes me as humorous about this whole mess is how some of the &#039;old guard&#039; here have made disparaging comments when newbies come along to the forum wanting to know the value of their item and nothing else ... and Richard gets run off when he didn&#039;t once bring up the cost/value of his item but tried to genteelly deal with the question when asked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
