"Selling on ebay with a; 'buy it now price with best offer', it is normal practice to list the item for more than you actually want"
No. If you actually just wanted to sell it and not make a profit you would list the lower price as the buy it now price, not a speculative 'buy it now with best offer' hoping someone will just pay the higher price.
"This forum listing was hardly thronging with replies, dibs and other users'"
If I'm not mistaken the item was sold quickly, people won't dibs if the OP has replied as sold and not 'provisionally sold to' etc etc. The frame was good price, it would have sold to someone else.
I never insinuated that any crime had taken place. It was simply an extreme example to illustrate how stupid your statement was to imply that because there had been no financial gain there could be no 'wrongdoing'.
