This ain't gonna make me very popular on this BBS but oh well. Call me a capitalist pig all you want....

I want to know just when it happened that the idea of making a profit on a transaction became a dishonorable thing.

For God's sake, people -- an item is worth what a willing buyer will pay for it, no more, no less. (Well, less if you were to take to heart the sentiments of a lot of people on this bbs.)

If he wants to sell his tuner for $250, and someone is willing to pay that much for it, then you have two happy people, plus apparently a whole lot of arbiters of capitalist morality who are unhappy, people for whom the transaction is none of their damn business!

You think $250 is an unfair price? Then I urge you not to buy it. Instead, buy one of the many $99 tuners floating around instead.
