Yeah, I've noticed (or, was blatantly smacked in the face with) the fact that there is a lot of pricecopping going on here. I certainly don't mind if a pricecop saves someone from paying like $150 for a $25 item, but the stuff I see is someone posts something for $35 and someone else posts "$35 ?!?! Are you insane you <insert many nasty names here>? I can get it from www.randomsite.com for $30! You're retarded if you think it's worth that!" Seems a little unnecessary as well as none of the other guy's damn business to me.
