The Oddesy problem was because of the guy that had an abnormally large
amount he bought, and didn't pay IRS taxes on it when he sold it. That has no
bearing on our small deals. At the prices Oriental Arts are charging, I
don't expect they will stop selling them anytime soon, and with gold hitting
$1000, they must have jumped price up again and still getting all kinds of
customers.
The Oddesey problem and the loss of the lease renewal was a lot more
complicated than that. Whether someone paid taxes on it or not is irrelevent to
MS or their store and had little or nothing to do with it.
