    First, if you are not interested in buying a pin or don't care for it in general, no need to post your opinion in a FS thread. Etiquette says don't post it in the fan/club thread either. Other threads are open game for posting your valuable opinion. Just because you have one doesn't mean you have to share it.

    Equally important to keep in mind, once you have posted your opinion, refrain from making five, ten, fifteen or more posts in the same thread with the same message. Nothing more irritating than hearing John Q Public's rants over and over again. Once the level of posts reaches a certain level of repetitiveness, anything you say becomes noise pollution. Post it once, say everything you mean and then move on.

    This has been your public service announcement - be nice and play nice.

    Quoted from RobT:

    Nonsense.
    It's a public discussion forum about pinball. Opinions are what the entire site is all about. That includes opinions that are less than positive, and can obviously include discussions of prices.

    I am not advocating a shutdown of opinion, the question was about price policing only. If priced right the pin will sell otherwise it won't. If you come into someone's fs thread and comment it is too expensive or it is priced too high, you are being rude and a little conceited thinking anybody cares about your opinion. If you post this opinion repeatedly in a single fs post you are being a troll.

    All other opinions and questions about condition are valid and should be made in that thread. However stating the same kind of comments repeatedly in a single fs ad adds no value and is trollish also.
