Grow up kids...the value of something is decided between the buyer and seller and if trends arise that increase or lower the value of something, there is no way for you to 'stop' those sales in an effort to maintain your 'preferred' values...
Those two clearly cant be compared, I'm okay with the market changing, but if you were clever enough to actually read what I wrote, people just trying to get trades to make instant profit which is literally asking people to rip themselves off which is completely ridiculous and just takes up space is a ridiculous claim, "kid".
I read what you wrote. Your mad that people are buying items cheaper than you would like. The fact that it is 'spreading' simply means that more and more people are willing to sell cheaper which is depreciating the value of your items. It is clear why you have a problem with it. What is not clear, is your poor excuse for an argument as to why it should be banned or stopped.
Edit - And you are correct, my example is poor. A better example would be for me to post a craigslist ad offering to buy used game consoles for 10.00 each, when they could probably get 25.00-50.00 selling to a gamestop or someone elses craigslist ad. If I make an offer and people take me up on it, it is smart business, not a crime/scam.
