Default Re: Hypethical parts sales question

Verne, my thoughts.

I think its rude to classify someone as a "flipper" because be honest, we've all got a decent deal on a part and sold it for market value (the delta equating to profit). In this case you did what you could to extend a hand to a friend's family in need and they were non-responsive (or impatient). One man's trash is another man's treasure. While it maybe apparent the buyer got a deal, there is no wrong-doing here because the seller was clearly content with the sale price or he would not have parted with the items. Overall a tricky situation but it seems like you did the right thing.

I understand your points and agree with you. It doesn't make it any easier to swallow though...
