Hi,

I agree astro gear seems to be different, I said that originally .

As to any buyers being like "rude scavengers", I can't agree though .

They are merely the market expressing an opinion about your stuff which is sadly different to your own, nothing more. Anyway, the whole process is adversarial at its roots:

Proverbs 20:14 "'It's no good, it's no good', saith the buyer, but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth."



Cheers
