[Milsurplus] Selling equipment: an OPINION

[J. Forster]

It's simply greedy human nature:

When you want to buy something, you want to pay as little as possible.
When you want to sell something, you want to get as much as possible.

It is hypocracy for buyers to criticize sellers when, in their place,
they'd do exactly the same thing.

YMMV,

-John
