Personally I wouldn't be slandering people at random in a public forum...
A subpoena will get your IP, and for those that don't know it, there is no such thing as anonymous on the net, unless you are a lot more computer savvy than the usual poster.
As to what he is selling, for Pete’s sake, have you never used or been on e-bay?
Even my local thrift shop is selling more on e-bay than at their store...
As to pricing with no reserve, that is how auctions work. If he pulled it off a wrecked truck, he has maybe twenty bucks in it.
And as to starting low, that is how you get more money. On e-bay, you pay for your asking price, and as they are happy to tell you, if you start low, you usually get a higher return.
You don’t really think that gate will sell for next to nothing do you? It’s a starting price.
Before making absolutely groundless attacks on business people, how about doing a half hours research?
I’ve bought seats from a wrecking yard in Ohio, tons of stuff from a huge specialty salvage yard in Michigan. At about one tenth the local price.
That is how the net works, making things that are common in some places easy for all to get.
Look at rims. Around here take-off rims/tires run 150-300 bucks on the new model. I see guys in other area buying them for 600 and thinking they got a bargain. Perhaps they did. The value of something depends on where you are. Lots of stuff on e-bay sells for MORE than retail. At least, retail here near a major city.
