I always am amused and even perplexed how many people use WE when they sell.
There are people who should, and do, Dealers who have more than one person working on it.
But so many times, I see WE used when I/you/we all know its one person.

At the moment, I have my posters stored at my Dads house and using his computer, does that make ME a WE?

I assume the seller feels it makes his listings more legit/pro, not "just a collector" selling his extras.

I think its odd.

Anyways, we have had our say, now its your turn.

WE... like it? or loath it?

You Ari, are the only one in the whole world I like that eats offal, misses his dead rat carcasses, draws women on walls with skin peeling off of them and keeps a meat cleaver by his bed.

"We" gives legitimacy.  I guess some people don't want to sound like the losers they are.

We, employees of Eatbrie.com, have no fear to be who we are.

I use "we" quite often at work, even though "I" am writing the correspondence.

But I guess I do that because "I" am also writing on behalf of the "we" as in the "corporation"?
