I'm content to be perceived as a Big Hitter, it giveth me much mirth when certain folk don't like having the tag applied to them.
Not sure if druid falls into that camp or not.
I have done it in the past and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. someone was asking £35 for an unused item that was available elsewhere at £22.
Pointed this out to them and offered them £20 for the item also suggested this would include a warranty, which they didnt. I was probably being pedantic, genuinely thought he was taking the piss!
My view is the classifieds is not something that people should be profiteering from (like that particular classifieds seller was, never posted outside of the classifieds) and that we should look after each other. Stop the REALMEN and the traders ripping off unsuspecting individuals.
If you have access to STW you have access to google/ebay, so you can get an idea how cheaply the same or similar items can be obtained, both new and second hand. The onus is on both the buyer and seller to establish what the same item would cost new and price the item/make offers accordingly.
If you have no intention of buying the thing then your input isn't exactly helpful. Real, interested buyers are as capable of using google to establish a fair price as you are. The buyer will soon find out if they've overpriced it when it plummets off the first page of the classifieds with nary an offer to be seen.
If you're not buying it then why comment on a post? If someone is after an object then they will know the rrp and typical ebay prices and can make their own judgement or is that just me using common sense. If they have a genuine interest then I think they should be the ones to make the comment.
As the for sale adds are part of a forum its just about ok to post comments etc on other peoples adds. At least if they are intended helpfull and well meaning.
Something like the remark, left on Drapoon's watch add, are just plain rude !

Not sure I like seeing the words "druid" and "camp" in the same sentence tho 😈

Al I fixed that for you. It was an open goal..
I'm past that, really, I mean some folk even set up second log ins to argue...
Ya ya don't get upset at a bit of ribbing, my so called alter ego, isn't, otherwise the ban stick would have been wielded. I challenge you to prove otherwise.
