Sorry guys. I've been out all day.
The IRA does have a rule of not price gouging and asking members to ask a fair price.
We also have a rule asking members to respect sales threads.
I can see the desire to want to protect our members and that is a great thing. We have members in the general community(not necessarily on the IRA) that are less than honest. The forum wants honest feedback. If you know of a scammer please let the forum members know about it. We have a couple threads devoted to "buyer beware" type situations. To question a members pricing publicly in their sales thread kind of goes outside of those guidelines. Most often its best to just pm the member first and let them know it might be difficult to sell the item at the listed price and you could even give examples and references as to why.
Our members also need to take some responsibly to research what they're purchasing and from whom. If a member asks too much for a saber and they purchase it then some of the blame lies with them.
It's sometimes the case that the seller is not informed of the current price for an item. This could be either low or high. We all know that sabers depreciate and we want to get what we paid for. Sadly, that's not always the case.
If a saber price is too high most often the saber will just not sell.
As a site we try to keep our rules to a minimum. We ask our members to try to act fairly and treat each other like they expect to be treated.
