Just a forewarning guys: I think I'm off Reddit until next week. They can't be trusted not to spoil. I just went over to check if others are getting messages (they are! Unique ones!) and even with the spoiler filter on I think something small but important just got spoiled for me because people over there are DICKS.
So for the rest of you who don't mind getting spoiled over there, please keep us updated on any of their developments!
Anyways, back to your not so regularly scheduled ARG.

Maybe say he was an old Navy friend and ask how Megan is doing?
I said "No, I haven't talked to him in years. The set just looked familiar. Hows Megan doing? He used to talk about her all the time. I'm still interested in the silverware if you are still wanting to sell it."
I guess we'll see what happens
I see a few folks have heard back now and it seems all of them mentioned Howard or Megan.

If I saw what you saw, I reported it to the mods and they will hopefully remove it.

Yeah, and Mama Stambler sounds none to pleased to hear either of them brought up.
If Megan is dead and they divorced because Howard went all unhinged (which happens, marriages tend to crumble when kids die)... That would make some sense.
God. I think we're actually harassing fictional characters. WE'RE THE MONSTERS lol.
Also: no, no don't worry, BR would never spoil anything for you, it was just some guy's comment about His reply on Reddit.

What did you say in your initial email? I'm thinking mine was too vague and might have been seen as someone actually interested in purchasing an overpriced silverware set ha!

I sent a second email mentioning an old friend Howard might help to ID the age of the set. Hopefully that will get a response.

if it's any consolation I didn't get a response either.
I think there is some kind of connection to Howard's father/Grandmother's house that is going to come out of this.

I haven't either, yet. I did mention Megan, said I had a childhood BFF named Megan that I'd lost touch with, but I was careful not to mention Howard. So we'll see.
I really hope some thing comes of this, especially that Grandma's house thing - maybe they'll choose a "public place" near it as a meet-up point to (pretend to) take a look at the silver.
EDIT: Heh, someone should try an email pretending to be dating Howard, wanting to buy this for him because he's upset he lost a set JUST like it and see how mad she gets

Rambling- that is a treasure chest full of silver. 60 divided by 10 is 6. So 500 divided by 10 is 50?
Hope the replies give us some direction.
