Nastiness and impoliteness of course should not be tollerated.
On the subject of items for sale though, there are enough people on this forum such that if an item is fairly priced, it will sell in a reasonable time. If an item is underpriced it will sell quickly, and conversely, if an item is overpriced, it won't sell or may take a while to sell.
I think too many sellers around here expect too much for their second hand gear. Many items are listed at a mere 5-10% off retail. I won't buy second hand if I'm not saving at least 25% off retail, it's just not worth the hassle or risk buying a used (no matter how well looked after) item with no possibility of replacement/refund from the seller. I'd rather pay the little extra and get a shiny new one.
Sellers vary just like buyers. There are those that are fair, and there are those that want the deal to lean too much their way.
An item is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay, so as Rod says, if it isn't selling, you're probably asking too much.

Cheers,
Jason.
P.S. Of course, Dougs mount was reasonably priced, and has sold.
