Bait and Switch!?!?
It first happend to me a couple of years ago when I went to Mustang Ranch in Santa Clara (car parts,not women). The guy offered to sell me an aluminum flywheel for $50, but I had to come back in a couple of days because he had to dig it out of the back of the shop. When I came back the price had gone up to $85 because it was in better shape than he remembered.........
Twice in the last week I have seen ads here in the parts for sale forum where the price has gone up after the original post....As far as I know this should only happen on Ebay, not in what amounts to a classified ad. Maybe the sellers had been drinking when they originally posted the items for sale, and after sobering up decided that their original prices were too low.
IMHO it seems that a seller should decide on a price for his items before posting, and not raise it afterward. The other option is to list the stuff on ebay and post a link to the auction here.
What do the rest of you think??
