Hi Tony,
Are you saying that you offered something for free
here (or for the cost
of shipping, or whatever), somebody told you it was worth real money on
e-bay, so you decided to sell it there?
If so, then I regard this as _very_ unethical behaviour, and not at all
what I'd expect from a classic computer enthusiast.
My policy is simple. If I offer something for sale, and set a price, then
that's the price I would accept for it....
Sorry for quoting so much of the message.
I have to say that I agree with everything you said, to my mind it's a simple
case of good manners. Once you've made a deal with someone you simply don't
back out just because you got a better offer etc - it's just NOT done! :-(
TTFN - Pete.
