ReDrum and I have had many disagreements over many things large and small but we remain what I like to think of as friends.  Granted, he has never spoken to me like he has to some of you in this thread.  On the other hand,  I've never spoken to him like you people have.  It's funny how that works, isn't it.  I just made him an offer for an item last week that he chose to ignore.  Do I think any less of him for it?  Of course not.  He and I obviously had a different idea of the items value.  Do I think less of him because we have a different idea of an items value?  Of course not.  How stupid would that be.  Anything I have ever bought from him was exactly as stated in his listing and it arrived to me fast.  I value very highly being able to know what I get from him is what I expected.

As far as blocking bidders, I also do it all the time.  If I even suspect anything, they are blocked.  I have blocked many members of the Org because of attitudes I sense because of their posts.  It's not worth taking a chance of a hassle developing.  A seller has the right to block anybody that they wish for any reason.

If I held a grudge everytime I made an offer on an item and the listing ran out a day later without the seller getting back to me I'd be a pretty sorry person (Which 2 of my ex-wives would agree with).  There are a million reasons why someone might not accept or reject it.

1.  They didn't see it
2.  They were still thinking about it when the item ended
3.  They had several offers to weigh
4.  They didn't want to limit their options
5.  They thought that having an open offer might make someone else offer more or use the buy-it-now out of fear the open offer might be accepted.
6.  etc., etc., etc......

As I said, it was no big deal to me.  I'm not as good of a mind reader as a lot of you seem to be and I wouldn't even attempt to pass judgement on someone over something so trivial.

I'm not trying to defend anyone because no one needs defended.  I guess I'm the only one here who doesn't see a problem with someone stating their opinion that someone else sold something too cheap.

I had a few other things to say about saying people lacked decency because they stated an obvious opinion but I see it didn't take you long to edit your previous comments.  I'm fairly sure they were read by people other than me before you had a chance to read what you had written and cram the old tranny in reverse.

If stating a couple of my opinions in a thread makes me a "Fanboy" I don't need to tell you what people will be calling you after reading your comments.  I'm not quite sure how I became your target as I didn't say anything bad about anybody.  And you think your comments are helping to keep the community alive?

The point I was trying to make was that ReDrum and I often disagree on the value of Amiga items and we don't end up at each others throats because we disagree.  Did I really have to explain that?  I just reread my post and it still seems obvious to me what I was saying.

I will rephrase what I said earlier:  If threads like this are helping to unite and strengthen the Amiga community, I'd hate to see one that was trying to tear it apart.

I won't sell here either, but sometimes that doesn't matter.  There was a thread recently where someone saw one of my items for sale on EBay and commented on it.  Soon the thread was off and running just like other people have stated here.  I was trying to sell the item for exactly what I had paid but this forum was full of people finding fault with the item (which there was none) and going on about how it was overpriced and others had sold for less.  I guess on this forum it's OK to sell things for less than their value but if you want market value you "lack decency".  There are 3 people on this thread who have been idiots since ReDrums first statement.  I don't have to name names because if you have read the thread it is very obvious.

If you hit somebody over the head with a 2X4 it's gonna hurt no matter how many times the person striking the blow says they're sorry.  This is a foreign concept to several of the people in this thread.
