VOC marked pedang

It is understandable to 'test the waters' before buying an item, (caveat emptor)and wise to check the expertise of others with more experience with a certain field before any transaction.

While this ploy was clever, it was unnecessary and puts the forum and its members in precarious legal position, which is not hard to figure using the common sense axioms.

It is perfectly acceptable and prudent to contact the specialized members via PM to ask these questions on 'live sales', just not publicly. Opinions expressed privately remain just that, but aired publicly become matter of record and potentially litigous.
