Someone care to explain this to me. I see an ad for a $7k Evel Knievel and it's like click bait. Where does someone get that price ? And then I look further. Supposedly a pinsider here for many years, posts 109 ads over the last year with one sale total (with prices like these not surprising). Lots of different machines, lots of ridiculous prices. Said pinsider has only seemingly opened threads about selling their pins and otherwise not contributed. Supposedly only owns two pins. And who the heck posts 109 ads for pins and only gets one sale. Thats just got to take effort of some kind to do so. Usually only see this kind of futile persistence by a bonkers Craigslister.

Are pinside and it's members being trolled ? Seems like it.

Shouldn't they just be told to go back to EBay and foist their wares there ? Or am I just being too harsh here ?

And yet you read the thread and felt the need to post. You are free to click ignore. Go look at my thread history and see if I've contributed any. Did I ever claim to be a moderator ? No. Did I say this should be banned ? No. Seems like you however want to be the "acceptable forum posting" police.

Not looking for a mob but trying to understand why this seems an acceptable use of he marketplace. That's a legitimate question especially when you have behavior at this extreme.
