[s-cars] Bently Paper Manual

[Mike Sylvester]

I don't think making a profit is the issue. That is fine.
The problem is posting it here to do it.
Leave that for the marketplace.
Post it here if you are truly offering up a deal to the list.

Even if he didn't, the market is what someone is willing to pay for an item or service at a given moment in time. How exactly is it bad for someone to ask fair market value for an item they have for sale? (Assuming since they sold in a day the price was FMV, or near it anyway)
