I recently got a PM from a forum member regarding some DDR3 he wanted to sell, since I had it in my WTB thread.
So I thought great, I'll inquire about it and possibly make a transaction for them. I'm kind of appalled by how upset this guy got with my response.
Here is the conversation:

This is the link to the exact item: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145224
All I'm looking to get for them is what I paid. I'll lose a little bit paying the shipping costs to you and eating the paypal fee, but I'm fine with that.
$230 via insured USPS Priority Mail and paypal fee is included.
If you're interested, feel free to send payment at your convenience. Paypal address is: *removed*
I ship out items the same or next business day upon receiving payment.

Thanks anyways.
Seriously? Why not? The seal on the box hasn't even been broken. I haven't even breathed on the memory. Why on earth would I sell a new, sealed item at a substantial discount?
Random guy on a forum? Doesn't make sense?? Perhaps you don't do a lot of business online, but that's simply the way it works. I'd provide you with the id of the fellow that bought my UD3P from this "random guy" last week, so you could contact him and verify my legitimacy, however I realize it's pointless because you're one of these typical computer forum lowballers that always expects to get something for nothing. Seriously...what were you expecting...for me to sell a new sealed kit for something like $150 and take a 30% loss? Give me a break.
No worries mate. I'll just throw it up on ebay. Thanks for the reply.
My response:
You don't have to bite my fucking head off and start calling me names and shit. Who said anything about $150. I'm simply making a point man. WHY would any consumer pay retail price from a non retail seller?
If I can get the same item for the same price from a reputable retailer, with manufacturer warranty, return policies, etc. Then why on earth would I buy it from a forum member?
It's simply illogical to me.
I just can't believe this guy ripped into me because I would rather buy from a retailer if its the same price. I mean, maybe I'm alone on this but makes much more sense to me than the risks of forum trading.
