That's a pretty bad rule to go by in my opinion. Judge what you're buying for what it is, not the price it goes for.

You are the one who just said "rule" - I purposely said "good hint".

Any time a price is too good to be true, it should raise eyebrows. Based on "judging [the item] for what it is", which is what we did in this thread, I was not the least bit surprised when he responded with the price he did.
