This is a perfect example of what I am so tired of seeing on this board -
people who choose to flame those who are legitimately trying to sell
equipment they no longer need.  This is especially annoying when the
person's information is incorrect or incomplete, as is the case here. 
This board (and all the other I posted my ad on) are intended for people
to post advertisements and nothing else.  People shouldn't have to worry
about their ads being criticized and their chances of selling their
merchandise being greatly reduced because of such criticism.  I just have
two things to say to those who criticize the price someone asks for their
merchandise:  1) if you can find a comparable item cheaper elsewhere,
great - go buy it there;  2) if you're not even interested in buying the
item for sale, then why bother posting such criticism?  if you feel the
need to be a good samaritan or something, at least get your information
correct first.

                                             Thank you.
                                                   Charles Cox
