This is not FM. This is not LuLa. Although this forum has grown quite a bit, I like to think of it as the "GetDPI Family"---a tighter knit community of photographers with a bit more respect, ethics, comraderie, sense of humor, etc. And in that vein new members should be welcomed, and hopefully not bring "distasteful characteristics" of other forums here. (Welcome to GetDPI, David!)
That being said, the market will decide prices. And David should hopefully take comments being made about his pricing as perhaps a *hint* that he may need to investigate the FMV of his Cube a bit more. I have no problem with members "making more money" than the item's original MSRP. It happens, albeit maybe rarely, that an item appreciates in value. I know that Jack has been very astute in this regard to recognize smokin' good deals, and has also been so kind to pass along those deals in re-sale, still making a small "profit" but certainly within FMV (and often less to the GetDPI family). And it's been also noted that without the ebay commissions, the GetDPI B&S forum can offer items slightly less. Importantly, I like to think that the "GetDPI Family" means being able to buy and sell with some sense of ethics and peace of mind.
Back on point to the Cube, I think it is worth noting that GetDPI the home of the AS Cube Brotherhood. I mean, geez Jack and Guy just might be able to release an official GetDPI Cube... The Cube is one of my most treasured pieces of equipment. Don Libby has related taking long sunset walks on the beach with his Cube. And Jack even showers with his Cube...
Chris Barrett just put together a great kit on his Cube... etc. So that being said, if there is anything SUSPECT about David,
it's who in their right mind would sell their highly coveted Arca Swiss Cube??
