My chiming in here makes about as much sense as you chiming in there regarding a transaction in which you were not involved other than to stir things up.
If I was an interested buyer and had a deal pending at XXX dollars, and someone shouts, "hey that is really worth YYY dollars and blew my pending deal--I would be pissed off too.
Just my .02 cents----wait! it is really worth .05 cents.

Eric, I agree with you in a different setting. If this guy had sold his ducktail for $500 and later found out it was worth much more, that would be a tragedy. My concern was for the seller who didn't know what he had, not buyers who do know what it's worth and unscrupulous ones who would use their knowledge at the seller's expense.
But in a broader sense, you are correct. I just think in this microcosm of Pelican I did the right thing, and Souk's responses (edited out) have comfirmed this.
