Actually, I can understand those that have to sell. The ones that bother me are those that just buy them, clean them up (maybe), then turn right around, make a buck and do it all over again. I believe I did nothing wrong with my friend as I did not make a cent and the donation is something that will help my parish. That is a good thing, especially in these times. After seeing what a pretty beat up M1icon got at a local farm auction recently I figured donating one would be a good way to help. I do not consider those actions unethical. I do consider the profiteers unethical. Until the CMPicon does something about those individuals I guess the practice will continue. This discussion has been going on for years in the various forums. I guess it will continue.
