I understand you may have received some hate, but some of that was warranted.  I also think it's disingenuous for you to say you would have considered raffling.them off for free before all the hate occurred.  Your intent was to make maximum profit, hence the cosign to Stack's Bowers and your announcement here promoting it, and there's inherently wrong with that as others have done this.  However, considering the way you went about it was/is the issue, which might have resulted in this being withdrawn.
