Basically, I'm just questioning "righteousness" of his actions with the information that is already provided.

$1000 price is provided from another member. Again, just questioning principle
Some people can get that price depending on who he or she knows.

thats business guys, supply and demand, nothing wrong with what hes doing...
if he finds a buyer at that price heck why not? 1500 for an ITB is already a deal in its self... i would be more worried about it being stolen than crying bout the buying price cuz thats the part you negociate is PRICE. if i was the buyer for 1500 and i saw the add on HT for 1k id be like aye man i saw your ad on HT for 1k. SUP with that hommie! and perhaps if he feels bad about it he would be like alright man 1k it is?

stop hating on the seller, trying to hustle and make a few bucks.

Simple supply and demand. He got a good deal and jumped on it to flip it.

That might take longer, someone here might already want it bad enough to pay the price...
I wouldn't expect to get the 5 grand but its something to shoot for.


Anyways, I don't even have membership so I couldn't sell to you guys anyways

Some would call it a free market society, other would say they're taking advantage. I say, buyer beware!! I always research something to death before pulling the trigger. I don't usually care who the source is (as long as they're legitimate) and go with the lowest price.....when it comes to retail items.

Service and trust is a different story altogether. I will pay a little extra for someone who cares and goes that extra mile.

I personally just gave something away that was freely given to me, instead of trying to turn a profit. Foolish? Maybe.....

I am not calling him out. All the information I've provided here can be seen in his F/S thread already. Just want to know how the community feels about his actions. THATS ALL.
