Bill:
Saying that posting a for sale ad with a price and selling to the first
respondent is unfair implies that virtually all medium of selling including
newspaper want ads, used car lots, every retail store in the world and
including almost everyone who has posted a FS ad to this reflector is less
than fair.
Now...Someone less then fair is not a nice person so it's only natural that
we take these comments personally.
The original post was started by a know "troll" and some of you guys fell
for it. I'm sure the majority of us would prefer an "up front" method of
selling.
