No, I put it in a PM to be polite rather than argue price in your FS thread with no intention of purchasing thus affecting the sale of your parts.
that would be an a**.
I'm blunt and literal. I recognize that what I said could be taken as maligning you but I'm not a diplomat to word it gently so I say outright that I don't intend it maliciously. I also backed up my pricing comments with references as I know both buyers and sellers can make extravagant claims to the value of an item.
Thus, if I am an a** it's for intending to let other sellers do their own negotiations. Or would you rather I had started by badmouthing you and posting links to better deals in your FS thread?
I'm an argumentative contrarian, a dangerous foil to your dramatic tendancies. You could have just PM replied "It's a negotiations starting point", "FU I'll do what I want", or nothing at all but you chose public drama, including my pricing alternatives, in your FS thread of all places
