if you think every one who joined MR is just trying to help each other, I think you will be disappointed. This is the real world, don?t be na?ve. IMO, it doesn?t matter how much something cost the seller, he/she may have got a really nice deal, or he/she might even able to get something for free, who knows. The point is: do you find it worth the price, IF YOU DON?T THINK SOMETHING WORTH THE PRICE, DON?T BUY IT. JUST THAT SIMPLE. (just my little 2 cents)

this site was created by an individual to bring people who share a passion and devotion to this hobby (please see above for definition). a place where people can congregate to exchange ideas and opinions, provide information, and trade equipment and/or livestock. and those who seek profit have been acknowledged with a simple stamp "vendor" underneath their avatar.
i agree with you that we are not in a position to determine or dictate what another member on this site does with his/her purchase. this for sale thread has been up for almost two days. there has not been one post expressing interest or desire to purchase this set-up. so judging by the action taken by the entire community, ethics and ethical behavior is highly valued and has nothing to do with being naive (please see above for definition)
