Chris - not trying to split hairs here but his quote actually was "I just picked up..." not I have this. Most times in a recent acquisition thread, I'll post "I just picked up ________________" and don't have it in hand. I think most of us will use the phrase "I just picked up" and that does not indicate we actually have it in hand.
Not trying to rustle any feathers here but I don't personally see anything wrong with the original post, nor, as you pointed out, should it matter if the piece just sold for $800 on eBay. I'm sure we've all purchased items in the past for below their true value.
Good luck on the sale.
