Whoa. Talk about reading more into a message that the author
intended. I never said he was a fool. I said the buyer was
probably laughing all the way to the bank because he knew he'd
taken advantage of him.

I'm not picking on him. I'm confirming that the true value of
these things is in the 25-35pp range. I don't care what he
chooses to do with that knowledge. I just wanted to be sure
he knew the true value, because I hate jerks who take
advantage of newbies ignorant about prices.
