Hello, Mike, it can also mean "I sold this one but I might have more that I have not had time to post yet, so email me and ask!" And that is very often the case with me. I probably have 150-200 pieces that I haven't found time to post yet, other problems keep on getting in the way. But I keep on trying! So, just ask! Anne M.

I imagine that they're left up to build interest in the specimen. Kind of a 'better get it now' or soon they'll all be sold approach. Bob
