Well, now we know what the period stands for at least.

I hate to contribute to this thread (more), but... the way the reasoning above is going is wrong. And it's part of why the tumbleweeds are blowing through here, alone except for the dust and cobwebs.

Back when there were enforced rules, and a whiff of moderation, they went something like this:
www.ehmac.ca/showthread.php?p=785796

Price policing isn't allowed, simply. Members have the right to discuss pricing elsewhere, not in other members' sale threads.

Sadly, moderation doesn't cull threads like this anymore, or enforce this simple rule. Petty bickering ensues, and little sale stuff gets posted.

If any moderators are still listening, before the forum disappears, you might want to do some moderation.

I never heard of these "rules" until this thread, but then I've never tried to sell anything on ehMac. I must with all due respect disagree with these rules because they are silly. If you're going to advertise something on a public forum, a place for discussion, then maybe you should be called out if your price is too high. If it's caveat emptor, or Buyer Beware, then Seller Beware is the logical extension of this. Advertise a fair asking price and you won't get negative feedback.

Absolutely agreed. This notion that sellers of overpriced goods ought to be coddled, so that they can peddle their overpriced wares to unsuspecting EhMac members is ludicrous.

I have often also seen posts of encouragement when a seller is offering a good product at a good price.

I believe in haggling, Just don't believe in heckling.
It's a slippery slope when you have to use an example of a device being sold elsewhere
at a cheaper price, To me, That's like comparing a store to an individual,
Course the store will always sell it cheaper. (Depending on the store though)

oh well

I think the classifieds should be just that---classifieds with no replies in the ad allowed, block them. PMs only and that's it...and no price policing in PMs either. Make an offer if interested, if not, move on...that's it.
