That's exactly how it should be on community sites like this.
I mean don't get me wrong everyone has the right to sell anything they want at any price that they want to, especially if some fool is willing to pay that price, but if they are going to do that they better be able to put up with the backlash that they might receive on sites like this or else take it straight to Ebay.
That's what's great about freedom. The seller has the right to set a price for an item, and the potential buyers have the right to complain about the price.
In any case I agree with the fact that on sites like this we should all help each other out without trying to scalp or gauge the price. Just charge someone cost, plus the packing supplies and shipping, and add on a reasonable few dollars more for your time, effort and gas. The object of helping out each other on sites like this is to keep prices below what they are going for on Ebay. If you are looking to make Ebay money for your items then you know where to go.
If someone is looking to make a heafty profit then they should just place the items on Ebay right away so that the whole world can bid on the item. Don't even bother trying to sell them here because it's not helping us when we can find the items cheaper if we try. How many times have you seen someone offer something for more money than you actually ended up buying for on Ebay yourself?
I remember a few years ago someone posted a link to an auction of theirs on Ebay and then told everyone that they were giving them "first dibbs" on the item. well if it was posted on Ebay first wouldn't that mean that everyone else in the world has already had a chance to bid on the item before it was posted here?
I just don't get it.
With that all said I'm still looking for a set of 4 at a fair and reasonable price.
