In response to:
Why?? We are all friends here, lol
I dont see the forum or its members as rivals or competitors.
I see this as community, helping eachother out.
My answer is:
Keep telling yourself that and you will be happy until someone else buys a coveted item out from under you. It has happened to me and I speak from personal experience. You dont personally know all the people who look at this forum. Some people just watch the forum for tips like the one you just gave out. All you are doing is attracting other bidders and driving up the price.
You would be better of PMing people you do trust from the forum.
I have posted items and before I know it, the item is no longer available and bought out from under me.
One time I posted (on another forum) an item that a guy offered to sell me on Craigslist. When I went to get back to him to take the deal he told me he had other offers. Next thing you know it ended up on a website for sale by a guy who belonged to the same forum.
I never called him on it, but I know what happened.
Trust me, dont trust public posting.
