You keep saying you were "simply" doing this or that. But there is nothing "simple" about making a universal claim based on your singular experience. That's the problem. Sell your machine for what you think it's worth and enjoy the fruits. It is a mistake to use your sale as definitive proof that a certain pin is now worth x dollars. Just don't bother. If you find those other JD-bashing posts to be silly, then you can imagine how people perceive your post.

I firmly believe that the small intrepid band of people that continue to under-estimate pin values such as JD, are just doing so in the vain attempt to stem the tide of the over-estimators out there whose numbers appear to be increasing ten-fold daily. Personally, my hat is off to those brave souls who fight against pin inflation, even though I fear their cause is ultimately doomed.
