Bit of a rant I'm afraid!
I've noticed prices creeping up on here. I've sold parts to people at what I've thought have been honest prices only to see them back on here a month or so later at twice the price.
This used to be a good, honest community where we all helped each other out and did what we could to get kit out to people at resonable prices but it seems that more recently, people have started hiking up their prices and are blatently taking the p*ss to try to make money.
I've seen someone here buy something off e-bay for £31 and then advertise it here a week later at £83!! I know I'm probably being idealistic and at the end of the day we're a market economy but come on!!! If it only made £30 on e-bay with an audience of millions, is a £50 price hike realistic within a week???
I know its a problem endemic of the sites success, but as buyers and sellers of this stuff, we need to keep this in check
