Patent: "In many ways, Ragozin discourages having too many customers."

David, if he wanted to, Ragozin could fix it so he didn't have ANY customers and stop selling his figures altogether. If the figures are SO valuable, and selling them is dilutive to their real value, why does he sell them? I've heard this kind of thing before and it's a lot of self-serving nonsense. Keep the figures to yourself and clean out the pools. Go ahead. I guess all they need now is an ad that says, "these figures are so valuable, we tried to keep them under wraps, but we can't stop ourselves from selling them!"

Maybe that moisture evaporating from the track (at varying speeds) is affecting your brain. Ragozin sells figures because there's money in it. In fact, it's steady money and judging by their massive sales, it's a nice business, especially if you like the ponies. Simple. If they're worried about diluting the value of their figures, they're a little late! Maybe Ragozin likes the money he makes selling sheets better than the money he could make wiping out the track every day. Bigger minds than mine will have to figure this out.

Now you're trying to justify Ragozin's policies and business practices by saying "they're in business, but not really. They sell their figures, but they're trying to discourage too many people from buying them." You're making a fool of yourself.

You're on firmer ground (maybe) debating figure making methodology. Let the people who run the Sheets business speak (or not) for themselves. HP
