Infraction given.
Rules about this are pretty clear and like someone said, we've had them for a long time. A seller is entitled to put whatever price he feels necessary on anything he lists in BST. He's not obligated to share where he picked up the item originally. The original post is acting within out rules for BST.
Interfering in someone else's BST thread is against the rules however. Per our rules --
"... There should be no interference by 3rd parties within the Buy/Sell/Trade areas. Third parties are those not involved in a transaction. This includes, but is not limited to, posting current or historical cost information, commenting negatively on the offer or item, or anything that interferes with the listing in a negative way. Only persons involved in the transaction should post in the thread, however benign or favorable comments are generally permitted by third parties..."
In addition to that, I thought the general tone of the reply was needlessly attacking the OP as well. No room for that here in BST as we need to keep this a safe place for all users to feel comfortable interacting with the community. In the future, if you have a concern about a listing, please take it up with the seller offline/privately and keep it off the board.
