I know, it is not in keeping with Christmas, but it sure felt good!!!

Dear Journal, last week I won a small auction lot at Heritage Internet. Now, while I have received some very nice coins from Heritage, their customer service really SUCKS!! I will pay for an auction in my usual timely manner, and it is usually two weeks or MORE before they get around to shipping my winnings. They expect payment within 7 days, but wait WEEKS to ship... doesn't quite seem right to me. I have mentioned this to the big-wigs at Heritage, but their attitude is "We have so many customers now, it is O.K. to tick one off every now-and-then..." and they do....ME. So anyway... back to my winning an auction last week... today...seven days after the auction, I get a nasty-gram from Heritage... "YOU HAVE NOT PAID THIS INVOICE!!"... this is where revenge comes in.... I wrote back telling them I would pay in the same manner as they ship.... weeks later!!! Dang!! That sure felt good!!

Well.... because I enjoyed this revenge thing, apparently, I must not be a good Christian, so I cannot wish you all a merry Christmas... afterall, that would be hippocritical... so... Happy Holidays to all, whatever you celebrate, and to those few atheists that might be a part of this forum... Happy nothing to you.

(Semi)Respectfully,

Michael Cooper

p.s. this is not a spectacular coin, just a nice old quarter with good honest wear and use.
