Now it all comes together... "Greedy" "Trumpish" and your comment to the PO "Its you, not BAT" had nothing to do with Unobtanium.. but more on your ideology and hence your anger..

You seem to have a problem with capitalism - You don't mind giving a profit - but a large profit is bad.. Hence your disdain for wanting to list on BAT and your animosity towards Unobtanium..

To be clear, I wouldn't have sold you a 81K Porsche for 40K either (even if I bought it for 10K).. As a businessman myself, sometimes the large profits offset the losses or the months of work that go on between sales.. Isn't this an example of supply and demand you speak of (rear view mirror)- i.e. somebody else was willing to pay more than you..(Willingness To Pay principle)? That's how it works right?

Or do you think sellers are obliged to only make a certain percentage of profit? If so what is that percentage? Would you cap a person's income? Your comments leave me wondering.. as that would invalidate the supply and demand approach -"a fair price" does not adhere to the WTP principle (i.e. who determines "fair" if not the market)

I have no angle here - just curious - Am I in the right area? Or is this just a personal skirmish (a deal broken)?
