Thanks for the response, but I no longer buy old pictures for folks. The reason that I was
"selling" them was that I was "buying" them, with the hope that some
of them would end up in the hands of family members. I wish that I had endless funds and
could purchase every family picture that I find (we do a lot of garage sales and
auctions), but that is not the case. I know how excited I was to find the photo of a
cousin (over 100 years ago) posted for sale online, and I didn't mind at all having to
pay for their cost of the picture and the postage. Anyway, it doesn't matter, because
there are obviously more people who are irritated by this practice than those who approve
--- I speak only from my own experience, since I only received "reproving"
e-mails and no "commendatory" notes. Enough said . . .
