I do buy and sell, pure business, and I have this rather rare collection, a promotion pack for a movie about Mannerheim that never made it in the end. But there's unique material in it.
I was contacted by a woman, who wanted to buy. It was all adult, "Get from work at 4 O'clock"... After some text messages, she never showed up. She wanted to buy it to her war veteran grandpa, and I, as an officer, lowered the price.
A week later HIS mother contacted me, with apologies about her SON'S behavior. Turned out it wasn't a woman, but an eight year old boy! How do you check age in Internet commerce?
No bad feelings, but this could prove a case of how easy it is to get hold of kids, going reverse. I'm not a pedophile, or anything, I almost feel guilty about this, though I did nothing. But to entice, or give the possibility, burdens me.
We need to give our children safety. Not just of a Driftwood.
