My final comment :-I love this frame and I dont WANT to sell it I NEED to sell it. I have rent and a family to support. I honestly don't know how you think it should work - do you only ever sell for what you paid? How would that benefit the original seller?
Many people buy on here and sell elsewhere for a profit. Many ask high prices for the stuff on sale on here - who knows what they paid for it. I have sold lots of stuff on here for a loss or given it away as have many others.
I put it on Ebay for £1000 to take £800 min best offer minus Ebay and Paypal charges on item and post leaves about £675 . Which is about what they are worth.
I had no Idea it was of that sort of value until I saw the one Haveo bought and based my price on that.
Selling my frame is bad enough but selling for less than it's worth and then having to sell something else as well would be worse.
When I have money round me I buy stuff on the forum for what the seller asks and when I'm short I sell some stuff -sometimes I lose money sometimes I make -some bike stuff goes up in value very quickly some doesn't.

You knew full well you could sell it here and somebody would snap it up quickly, thus avoiding eBay fees. Is it against the rules selling it on eBay for higher? No, but it is a dick move.
And as for not knowing it's true value until @haveo mentioned something, I highly doubt, judging by your seller name and knowledge on eBay.
The point is it may or may not affect the seller (in this case it has), what it does do is effect others who are truly interested in it, and creates a place where people are apprehensive to sell things at a decent price, for fear of having that undermined by people like you, and your 'friends'.

Yes I agree and understand.
I know you can't do it.
I just can't believe what is coming out of forums member mouth that has been on forum since 2012...
