[SEL] Low rent Bastard

[Luke Tonneberger]

Hi Curt,

It just seems to me that Jon is taking advantage of people not knowing it is 
available at a cheaper price. Doesn't matter if it is towels or pillows, 
newbies or oldbies. I see where your coming from though (perfect capitalism) 
and I have to agree. People buy product and sell it at a higher price all of 
the time. Which goes along with what Tommy said, "buyer beware". I also 
agree that we probably shouldn't be complaining about the resale of a book. 
I might have been wrong for pointing out who Jon is. I have met him before 
and seemed like a nice guy. I have also bought an engine from him off of 
Harry's and was satisfied with the deal. Yes, I did sell my Rumely at a 
profit, about two thousand dollars.
