   True; couldn't have said it better myself.

				 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
				 Is this really consistent with your
				 comment above?  If everybody has a right
				 to post any price, then what constitutes
				 a 'purposeful rip-off'?  I'm not trying
				 to flame, just confused.

				 I always thought that if you're willing to
				 tell the world that a post has an inflated
				 price, would you also be willing to tell the
				 world that a post has a deflated price?
				 (irrespective of whether that's bound to happen)
