Educating Cobra Buyers?

Or, do you mean that the Cobra seller knows the Cobra is not up to Cobra standards and a potential buyer doesn't know enough to warn himself, should the Cobra seller dissuade the potential buyer?

[In this instance I mean a badly executed build on a disreputable Cobra vendor.]

Doug,

My original post was more to determine whether we as a group of now educated cobra buyers should educate someone just learning about them in regards to what to look for, or what to watch out for. On another forum I had an admin belittle me because I offered an opinion on a car I felt was overpriced for what it was. He pretty much told me that I am single handily bringing down the resale market with my comments/opinion.

As such, I started this thread on all three of the larger Cobra forums to get others opinions as to whether it is ethical for me/us to educate a potential buyer as to what is or what is not a good deal.
