to me, "free" means paid for. Whatever you sell the remainder for after paying for their initial costs, is profit. I agree you have lost paper profits, and all profits are paper until you sell, so in that sense you lost potential money. Always better to have a full share of profits rather than a half share any day, but I don't get as worked up over a loss if I'm not actually losing my original investment, but rather reducing the amount of profit. hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not defending CCSI, I would never hold that POS long, knowing what I know. BIDS is a POS, but at least it is doing what is says it is going to do, operate a auction website (even if it doesn't make any money). CCSI can't even do that.
