I underatand your thinking about "filtering" but I'm
having a problem with you referring (twice) to
honesty. Are you suggesting that when a seller
lists a chip that has a proven track record, as the
example I set, and what general range level the chip
has performad at is common knowledge, is not being
honest by not posting his bottom-line figure when
there may be a market to protect and when previous
buyers of that certain material rely on that seller
to protect their investment? Have you ever
contacted such a seller to ask him what the reserve
is?
