Im surprised I missed this thread, I usually check all threads in here. But here goes anyway:
When I spoke to you on that night, I expressed my opinion that I do not believe he should have been fired because he did not deliberately influence values. You did explain how you had been on for several hours that day, but events make things happen instantly. The incident involving the samovar being taken off the rare values page shook the value madly that day, everyone was scared about what would happen to it and were consequently selling theirs. As the demand was low, sierk had trouble selling his samovars, which was reflected in the maximum price he managed to get for them in the end.
