But he sold it and at the time was happy. If the buyer gets a good price, he's happy. If he's a parasite that's buying it to flip for profit, that sucks, but that's business. If he's buying to use, he's happy to get a desired part for his car at a good price. What's wrong with that?

If a potential buyer offers a low price and says that's what it's worth to him, well, the seller can agree to the price or can tell the buyer to pack sand. That's life, eh?

I just don't see any justification for the bull***** tactic you use Shaun to disrupt the free market. Maybe you were a friggin hall monitor when you were in school. Probably got pounded a lot for it, hence the fixation on little girls' lifestyles.
Jim, simply put, I can't imagine going through life this way. We're here to help each other, not try to get a great deal off each other. If you don't subscribe to that personal philosophy, OK, but I do and that's where I was coming from.

But geez guys, you are reeeally angry over this. In fact if Souk had not jumped all over my post saying how ridiculously high it was, which actually turns out to be low, this wouldn't be an issue.

Let's call a spade a spade. Souk was trying to get a very valuable tail for a fraction of its value. That's fine in a market setting or eBay, that's not fine in a community such as Pelican.
