Go back and read your lead off post.

You said "go on, have a laugh"
Pretty much admitting you were gouging with that price.

Then, contrary to what you just stated, you did ask for advice on the value. Of course if you were being sarcastic then you were not very good at it. You didnt like the values quoted and that is what led to all this.

The person that was after the $5 Playboy also made you a direct offer. He forwarded your response. I stand by my term 'dismissive'.
