I remember about a year and a half ago, people posting in the classifieds that they would pay over 200 dollars for a rio mini or grand... and over 300 for an Ali i'... I've also sen hard to get GG parts and PVs selling for 3X what they sold for originally.
And if somebody wants to put a "wanted to
buy" ad for that amount, then that's up to them. It's their money.
While I am flattered that somebody is willing to pay 100 bucks MORE than I charge for a PV, I truly feel that if somebody is SO impatient that they would pay a premium to own one, then I benefit by the perception that these have INCREDIBLE resale value.
But there were a dozen people trying to help him get that working... And he lacked the patience to work
through it. And of that dozen, I'm pretty sure over HALF of them would have GLADLY given him the money to take it off his hands and I offered him a full refund, because it was clear he was just miserable with the thing... his response was "I'm not giving up yet... I'll get it working"
I view this as spitting in the face of the community that tried to help him...
That being said... it's his PV... he is welcome to dispose of it in any way he chooses.
The day will come when we see a $750.00 Titanium Standard in the Classifieds... Brace yourself for it.
