The simple fact that you say this makes it untrue. The well-endowed feel no need to mention it.

You can mock if you like, but actually there are several people who have posted that they have more than ten pairs of AEs. I believe that there is even a loyalty program...

The B&S forum here has an insane reverse auction structure: the seller starts with an unrealistic high price and keeps cutting--almost daily--until it sells. The trad sale thread at Andy's, actually an "exchange" thread, sometimes works that way. However, since an ad doesn't disappear into page 93 a few hours after posting, more potential buyers can view it at the original price, buyers who aren't conditioned to let the price drop 60% before pulling the trigger.

The resellers at Andy's also claim to be "cleaning out their closets".

On the Thrift Exchange over at Andy's profit doesn't seem to be the primary motivation...and prices are generally lower, but there isn't nearly the amount of NWT. The Sales Forum doesn't get heavy traffic there...but if you have 1000 posts posting there is free.

I think that this might be sad but true. And from there it spread to the entire forum.
