agreed, but in some cases, i feel the need to educate other potential buyers on the mistake they might make from a purchase. Example, if someone lists a used gun for $450 that sells for $450 new at a gun shop, a potential buyer who is unaware of that price might be inclined to buy the used gun for $450. I'd rather offer information to assist potential buyers vs worrying about offending sellers. The culture here of "fishing" for someone to overpay is annoying. I genuinely look at the listings with intent of shopping. I've purchased a fair amount of things here and the people i've purchased from can tell you that i dont waste their time. If your price is legit, then you should be able to justify it. I dont mind defending my own sale ads and can justify my prices. Other sellers should be willing to do the same.
