What about that nighthawk that was missing the extra 2 on its pricetag in the store over last summer, would i really have got it for $225, because as a prospective buyer, it wasn't my fault, it was yours

If you don't like someone posting $xxx O.B.O., then don't respond. If you don't someone posting an ad in an auction type format, then don't respond. If you get screwed out of a deal because they raised their price, then post about it under their ad so we can find out what kind of person we're dealing with.
The more ads posted, the more chance I'll find something I want at a price I want. if I'm uncomfortable with the poster, or the ad, well....I'm a big boy, I can figure out what I should do, or not do. If this guy who raises his prices sells more stuff, I'll know from previous posts that he may want more than he originally asks for and I make my own decision on how I should proceed.
Play on.

This is by far and above the best policy. Having a post limit on sections will end up with guys just posting "+1" and "I agree" to old posts until they get their threshold. We tried it on the board I mod and it sucked having to go back and delete all the stupid replies. Don't make things harder than they have to be. Free Market system, choose what you want to reply to, if someone screws you let it be known.
Crazy that anyone would intentionally try and screw you though, considering the overall topic of the board...

What happens in the basement stays in the basement.

Yep, you're right. My post wasn't making reference to anything in particular, I was simply making a statement.Care to fill us in on your recent experience?

I am only part of the story, so I will not. PFCLEE will be out of the country shortly. If he chooses to share his story that's fine with me. Otherwise it's none of your business as far as I'm concerned.
As I said before, I knew him before he came to this board. I recommended he come here.
