Yep. Deal-spotting threads are apparently not permitted. At first I thought this policy was a little over the top. But the eBay scalpers are reading these threads, buying up excess supply and doubling or tripling the prices on the auction site.
It recently happened with a shipment of factory 2nd blue PM2's. The retailer had a small supply, and a forumite let members know about it after scoring one for himself.
When I went to go buy one for myself just minutes later, the rest of the supply was gone and they went up for sale on eBay soon thereafter. Prices were ridiculous.
Adding insult to injury, some of those scalpers come right back to these forums to brazenly boast about screwing their buyers. They know who they are, and they've been called on it . . .
I learned my lesson. No more deal spotting.
Best of luck finding a PM2. It just takes patience, persistence, and watching the dealer websites every day...several times a day. You'll score one sooner or later!
