.....where's the post?

Dude found some prints listed at an online store and he marked them up 500 usd and tried to pass them off as something he owned -so I called him on it

Was the assessment of the situation by Redbirds accurate?

In case it was, then please at least consider refraining from such activities on the forum.

Leech-like behaviour doesn't just offer zero value, as is the case with somebody posting an inane comment. It's actually detrimental to this message board because it undermines trust.

Members — inexperienced, overly-enthusiastic ones especially — already have a great deal to be wary of. [For example, they're repeatedly bombarded with threads by those trying to secure immediate resales of recent purchases, at significant markups. Or by others trying to offload their past purchase mistakes (helped along by "Great price!"-style quips from their mates). Rather often, these are sellers who also get defensive or have little diva fits whenever any comments are posted that they perceive as critical.]

And so, it can be dispiriting enough as it is over here.

I would therefore encourage you to resist making matters worse.
