It appears I owe you an apology. I missed a word in my post. What I meant to say was this is a topic not NEW to the BB. The topic comes up, and the subject engenders much debate. As it should. What is acceptable for a seller to maximize his profits, what is OK for a buyer to do.

While I won't ask who, the fact that a member of the club is among your questionable persons, concerns me. THat would be the one I would want to know. But from my experience, I still will play the odds and rely upon a person's membership.

Please make no mistake, this is an excellent place to raise these very issues, and you will get responses (not all directly related to your specific question). Some of the persons I have dealt with (happily) here are:

Chuck Smorse, Tyrus Mulkey, David Spragg, Doug Smith, the Bus, Archie Black, and Andy Hughes (who saw the missing word)... The list can go on for awhile.

Good Luck.
