Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Some would say people throwing a bunch of garish crap over their mediocre-condish B-list WPC titles and creating a fractured and bizarre market by asking north of $5,000 for them has ruined the good forum/hobby. But you know what they say about opinions...

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Really? Coming from you? You love to stir up the shit.
Just saying there's different perspectives. The guys wants to accuse price thread whiners of ruining the hobby, I'll point out that Doctor Whos were going for $900 before people started dressing them up like a whore when the fleet comes to town.
It's completely in the eye of the beholder as to what has "ruined" the hobby.

Quoted from metallik:

I like your logic. Sellers can say whatever they want and must be protected from any price criticism. Buyers are completely squelched and on their own; no discussing the piece, no comments on looks, no pointing out any unmentioned flaws that many would miss in the pics. What on earth could possibly be wrong with that??! Yay for Pinside marketplace!
