Thanks mike. I been here for over 15 yrs and have seen many people come and go , the one thing that keeps me coming back here is there are a lot of good honest people on this site and I want to keep it that way...

If your selling it at a price to be a good guy to a certain fellow member, and they realize this, then they later relist it for more money..yeh, fk them.

Now, if you have it listed at a certain amt and it sells for that, then they sell it for more...I guess that's different.

I agree,being about principle.if I am on a forum and have a part that someone really needs,I would like to sell it to someone who can use it.more the fact if it is priced to help someone out,and there are multiple party's on that forum that need that part.i usually don't care want they do with the sold item once I sell it,but I can see it bother me in some situations,if posted back on that forum that I sold it on.

Making 25 bucks on a prop deal doesn't make you an evil sadistic bastard.... Making your poor mother drive your boat when it's rough out, on the other hand.....

I took the jet express back to the mainland and she picked me up in the car.

Your not out of touch at all. I understand what your point is. It would be very nice to help out fellow members on here. There are some members and nonmembers here that only care about their own agenda. I think any member or nonmember selling a good used part at a fair price is a benefit to all of us. But, look at it this way.. If someone bought a part, didn't end up actually needing it or couldn't use it, then put it back on here for sale and couldn't get what he paid for it. Should he be mad and want some money back????

The op never stated he received asking price , and I'm sure there could be more to the story. I agree that it's a tacky thing to do, and I might post in his ad asking if he had gold plated it since bought from me.
