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. Oh well.
