I'm a collector myself, so i plan to stay a little longer than on one-sellin-post - but I appreciate boards where members stay on guard of rules! Thanks!
If that's the case, then perhaps it would've been a far more thoughtful approach to register, become a part of the community, which wouldn't have taken long, and then start selling. Just because you're a collector like us and what-have-you doesn't really add anything to the fact. Not trying to give you a hard time or anything, but the rules are there for a reason. Mods around here tend to flip-flop more than a fish out of water, though, so I might as well be talking to the wind.
Another thing that occurs to me is that you could've also contacted one of the admins first, pitch your sale and go from there. Not that it makes a difference now anyway, but just saying.
