When is thread crapping not thread crapping!?

[Celstar]

Say you have some guy who is putting up something for sale. It's way above market price or unfairly priced. Would it be morally incorrect of observers not to say something? Or should we just shut up and let some unknowing buyer bite at an unfair offer when the seller is knowingly selling his stuff for more than it's worth.

What do you think?

as much as it bites, even if you are doing a customer a "favor"... you will still end up paying for it. Got banned off Eb@y for awhile for email buyers about a seller who was selling modems that "harnessed the power of your CPU". You got that right... made p133 run like a 386-33 back in the day.

anyway... unless it is downright fraud or endangering the customer, stay out.

Poop.

Yup, there's nothing more unethical than spoiling somebodies fraud. You'll have to settle for the knowledge that people who take advantage of other people's ignorance will never experience a feeling of true self worth. The bad part, though, is that they will never know what they missed.

it you do anything that would give people doubts about buying from the guy, i'd say its thread crapping. I'm sure you are talking about the psx's, but when people interfere in the sale negatively, unless it is clarifiying a technical question, or praise its crapping.

Sure this definitely applies to the PS2, but I'm also referring to Forsales in general.

I would imagine that people who are looking for something in particular would know what the "going" rate is for said piece of equipment. While it would be nice to let everyone know who is giving buyers the shaft it is better just to leave well enough alone and just remember that what goes around comes around.

It just goes to show that everyone should look around abit before they buy the first thing they see. Like the saying goes, if it's to good to be true, it usually is.
