I don't have a problem with someone selling something for more then they paid for it,but I do when they won't admit that is their sole reason for acquiring said object in the first place,and want to use someone to get it by acting like a close friend and take advantage of them.
I have seen dozens of people approach me & others,asking for help or details in identifying that "special part" or finding that "special vehicle" they always wanted,...(Funny I never heard them say that was their dream car before..or show any interest in that before the B/J auction results came out)..saying something like they want to wrench on it with their son as their wife serves them Lemonade in their driveway on a Sunday afternoon...Only to see them front and center at some auction or website classifieds soon afterwards,asking at least 10K + or more then they just paid.When I confront them,feeling they used me or anyone else for that matter,they merely studder saying that had no idea how much maintenance was required,or they just couldn't keep interested in it so they're asking for much more then they have in it,hoping to get it and then never to be heard from again.
Just plain greed in my book.
I screen my calls now.

Ditto, I don't have time for flippers, they have different priorities than I do, and I'd rather spend my time helping people acquire their passion instead of their bankroll.
