Here's what happened. This fellow posts that he has a factory ducktail but clearly doesn't know exactly what he has. You'll see a post by me after Milt's (Zeke) but that is actually several posts later, the previous ones being edited out. My first post was something like, "what is this worth, $1500?" based on some reasonable knowledge of the factory ducktail market, based in part on tech and classifieds on Pelican.

Souk immediately posts how ridiculously high that estimate is and that I'm trying to jack up prices. My post, as it stands after Milts, is still in the post.

I received some email, one was very good and it pointed out that if I had done this at a swap meet, I'd get beat-up. Actually, that's true, but this isn't a swap meet, or ebay, this is a community.
Shawn,

If you had done this at a swap meat here in Arizona you are correct, you would be in for a A$$ whupping. What was done is just not correct, no matter what your reasons.

Why you feel that you had to stick your nose in this is beyond me, other than to stir the brown material. Are you interested in buying the ducktail? If not then move on. If you and Souk want to have a "discussion" then do it alone. Had you really given a damm about Bruce and the value of the ducktail you could have simply PM'ed him and told him, not posted it to try to get back at Souk then held your hands up in the air saying "I was just trying to be the good guy" when in reality you were trying to be much worse.

Your real colors are coming out and its not good. Would be a nice time to take some time off the forums and try to rebuild your reputation on Pelican, if you can...
