Perhaps the seller got a bit embarrassed over the price after all the comments that were posted and decided that we were all correct after all.

As I said, thread tidying/locking is extremely rare - unlike a lot of forums. So I hardly think it's fair to start claiming that I'm suppressing comment

What I did in this case was respond to a request by a member who posted an RRS for sale to have the discussion about the asking price split from the main thread - again not something that I am commonly asked to do, and not a common action.

Regarding being rude about other members, suggesting that the seller was out to rip off other members is perhaps a little strong - everyone wants the maximum possible when selling anything, and buyers want the minimum, and I would hope they'd all do their research beforehand.

Please don't think this is the start of a new policy or regime of preventing comment - it's not at all, it's a single, isolated, case, so please treat it as such  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

The OP needs to accept this is how forums work - the general concensus on his price is the reality of the matter and feedback (too much, good price etc etc) is what anyone should expect to receive imo

You've helped the guy out by responding to his request, which personally I would have done the same, but at the end of the day it is supresssing comment.
