What a bucket full of Bull. I actually rang Andrews and they were able to give me the price I had paid for it and for general info I paid $2000 including postage. The interesting comment was that the EQ6 has never sold at $1295 including Postage.
Comments of this type and other rude replies which just say My offer is $1400 for the lot. make me want to jump down the net swinging. The fact that I place a price on an item and choose to quote the replacement costs is up to me and really not open for discussion.
To those concerned get off your backsides and GO BUY ONE FROM ANDREWS.
How many have been infuriated with these sort of replies?

I have sold heaps of stuff on iceinspace. As far as I am concerned the price can be a bit negotiable but some of the lowball offers I get are outrageous and usually i dont bother replying to them.
If you price something too high then it wont sell; as far as making a profit on second hand gear; no problem. If someone doesnt want to buy it noone is forcing them.
If I see something outrageously high I may send a private message to the seller as possibly they dont know the current new price; but i would never send a similar message in public. Generally though i feel its NONE OF MY BUSINESS what price someone wants to get for their used equipment.
EDIT -- That Star Stuff side by side plate is fantastic at that price. I recently spent nearly 300 AUD on a Losmandy side by side but if your gear was on sale then would have snapped this plate up no problems; and I also have the DEC adjustment levers as well, another great product from Star Stuff.
