Luca, It disappoints me to see you declare another member of this community as morally bankrupt with such relative ease from almost no information. I have been watching this topic unfold over the past couple of days thinking that reasonable people will either take the offer or not depending on their particular situations. To label a person as dishonest without knowing anything more than what he or she is selling is an obtuse and highly spurious form of thinking.
The fact of the matter remains simple: if the products are unwanted or deemed too expensive then simply no one will buy them.That is the beauty of a free market! Perhaps, Ms. Micah Risk has posted wares for sale for the first time, so to answer with such a disproportionately negative response from various contributors of this mailing list is both largely frustrating and highly cynical. Mr. Rees commands the English language well; I believe that he must understand the weight and consequence of the words he chooses when informing those of us who have less experience than he on a topic he feels on which he feels strongly. As other subscribers have noted, this mailing list is made to help people, not to berate or criticize them. We posses the great fortune of having prerogative when approaching a prospective purchase, so let our actions persuade the sellers to amend their offers into more attractive ones if need be. Resorting to unfounded personal attacks will always result in a negative outcome. For a niche community like ours, we should embrace our members and trust that what we say or offer is without malice or duplicity. Regards, Vasili Uspensky
