Maybe I was a bit hard on the man!  😄  It's down to the stress and not knowing where the next penny is coming from.  I was a connoisseur of quality puzzles.  At one stage I had over 150 of them - puzzles like Ravensburger and Clementoni.  I was doing alright but then the botttom fell out of the market, the profit margin being pence instead of pounds.  I used to attend public auctions but then my car which I'd had for seven years had to go to that great scrap yard in the sky so I'm stuck with a trailer without a car which has put the mockers on my other sale item - gardening equipment in readiness for the Spring.  During the past six months it's been going from bad to worse.  It's a lot more difficult to sell stuff now than what it was a year ago.  I'm really having to sell myself with a vengeance - as in all sales related businesses you have to sell yourself as opposed to your products.  It's been a hell of a six month period with only a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.  As you agreed - we're all in the same boat.
