Agreed. And part of the fun is finding bargains, right? Let's assume
that you find most of your bargains at swap meets. How would you like it
if I decided it would be fun to visit the same swap meet you frequent, and
announce all of the bargains I find over a bull horn and cell phone?

I'm sure the sellers would love it, but my guess is that you might not
have the same amount of fun as you otherwise might.
