ok...i found a pretty hot deal on the internet. I was thinking of posting it in the hotdeals forum, but...

1) i'm afraid ppl will take advantage of it and buy mass quantities for resale on ebay

2) which lead to the etailer not doing this sort of biz again. Thus everybody will lose out.

What do you guys think?

Keep it to yourself. There are way to many greedy ferengi's at the Hot Deals forums to trust with such information. And what you think might happen is exactly on the mark.

If no one ever shared what they found because they were afraid of this kind of stuff then we wouldn't have a hot deal forums. Kind of like file sharing: if no one shares but everyone downloads, the system is going to collaspe.

I think you have a right to "test the waters" for yourself. Place an order and once it has been shipped, open up the flood gates and post the deal.
