I am taking an unusual step of sharing with you my correspondence with a
seller on eBay of a set of four named "family bobbins" being sold as
separate items. As you will see in my letter to the seller, I have no
problem with commercial transactions, that is what makes the world go
around, just that I was sad the seller chose to split them up.

My first letter to the seller:
Dear northumbrian,
I know you are in business and there is nothing wrong in making a profit
from it, but when you split up a family of lace makers into four lots I feel
sad that the chances of them going to one bidder and staying together as an
important social history family are very slim.
Just my opinion.

The seller reply to me:
Dear cooranbong,
if you feel so strongly about it put your money where your mouth is and buy
them all

My reply to that letter.
Dear northumbrian,
I thought my note you was very reasonable. Recognizing your role as a
salesperson and not criticizing it for what it is. I expressed my love of
history and the importance of social history of lace making in my life.
That you thought to reply, with no thought to my position or circumstances
was rather cruel and unkind.
I feel very sorry for you.
