Default Good point..

I guess your right, but I have mixed feelings. If someone is asking 1.5 times the LHS or internet price or a ridiculous amount I feel like I should warn some unsuspecting victim, but then again we're all adults here and can pay whatever we want, can't we. I have a small engine for sale, not sure what kind, $200 takes it..................
But in the deal in question, the guy was asking $.85 less than a well known internet mail order business. That did not stop a guy from pointing out an incorrect price that didn't include shipping in the thread.

Say I bought a roll of Monokote for $15 from a LHS, and advertised it for sale for $14 here. I would be losing $1. Does a guy popping into my thread telling me that Tower has it for $13 do me any good?? Not really..if he can get it for $13 from Tower, that is wonderful. Does it make me a crook for asking $14?? I hope not.

That was my point, but like I said before I didn't articulate my position very clearly in the post that started it all. And so I again apologize.

Oh and 4*60...stay away from Ebay! I have seen engines exactly like yours sell for almost $350! Some people don't have any idea what things cost, and will pay well more than 1.5 times the internet or mail order price!!
