Your thinking is closed minded. Why shouldnt I be entitled to get what I think I 
can get for my item? Thats what it is worth to me and if I can get it it must be 
worth that to someone else. Who's to tell me what I should get or pay for an 
item? Who says it assumes ownership of opinions  except you forcing yours on 
people telling them their stuff is not worth what they think. That only matters 
if your a serious buyer. Then its your option to make an offer, or, NOT BUY. 
This is AMERICA right? 

If that saves someone from paying way too much for something, too bad.
 Hey its still BUYER BE WARE right? A smart buyer educates him or herself and I 
see nothing wrong with giving an opinion of somthings worth, a smart consumer 
reads between the lines and knkow what opinion really count.....Theirs!  


Censorship doesn't help anyone.
WHo said anything about censorship? isnt telling people what they can ask for 
their item a type of just that?

Sure.  Just as when someone publicly asks for $XXXXX.XX for a $500 pig in a 
poke, well, it's a free country (OK, well, kinda, these days) and anyone is 
therfore free to ridicule such folly.
 Don't be jealouse cause they get it.....(obviously not many do)  Its ok not to 
look at it and its ok to not continue reading the ad if your so turned off by 
it.

Wonderful.  There must have been something special about the car.  I'd love to 
see photos and an official auction result.
It was a nice 12K mile car. Was sold on ebay and I know the fellow that sold it. 
He is 2 towns over from me. Prove to me it didnt happen?

I've seen dozens of very cherry Gremlins cross the block for a couple thousand, 
or less.  Just as Old Cars Weekly 
http://www.oldcarsweekly.com/oldcarspriceguide/ is free to post values based on 
recent auction results, others are also free to offer opinions on value (or lack 
thereof).
20 years ago tell those hemi Cuda convertable owners that their cars were only 
worth what everyone SAYS they are worth. Heck would you have thought a Gremlin 
Grill would sell for 1200 bucks?

>think it should be doesnt mean its not.? 


I look at it this way: No one is "entitled" to get what *he* thinks his item is 
worth on the market, because he doesn't **own** other people's opinions about 
what he owns.  Things are only worth what the market -- a collection of 
individuals -- says they are worth.  Other individuals are free to express their 
opinions, and if the buyer does appropriate research on the value of what he's 
considering buying, he should have access to all the opinions he wants.
