And then most gave high-fives to the buyer. The seller looked on Hagerty and that's the number they gave him, and he sold it at that price (way low). In today's market, he left at least $30K on the table. No one said the buyer stole it, ripped off the seller, called him immoral, or unethical.

Getting a good deal on some old valve covers now turns into a moral and ethical dilemma for the community? It was a good deal on valve covers. That's it.

Sorry, you guys are way over the top on this one. It was some old valve covers someone put up for a good deal and someone wanted them, and suddenly the buyer is Bernard Madoff in some of your minds. You've got to be kidding. And if someone puts up some H1s (which they were going to this last week) for a H4 price and you guys score them for that amount you're going to lose sleep and complain? You've got to be kidding. I never knew H1s were worth that by the way.

Start sending PMS to the legitimate buyer of that Carrera three months ago and to the guy in Utah who put it up $30K under market at least. Am I going to call that buyer a crook and an immoral member of the community? No. And neither would most if they got to that deal first.

It's just a theoretical discussion. The people posting in the actual valve cover thread are the ones passing judgment on the parties. We are just talking about the ideas behind it. That's what we do.
