Pros posing as hobbyists?


I have frequently noted that a seller will often use a normal reason for selling. The typical ones are Downsizing, New baby, Project never materialized.
I check to see what else they have for sale and it can be a very long list. It looks like a semi pro's used components inventory for sale.
It is no crime to sell here as a hobby just making a business on the side as it were. Why give us the silly string of excuses. I like people being very upfront it gives me a sense that the seller has integrity.
A new category without added fees perhaps would make it easy for everyone. What do you think?

it would seem that most selling occurs because the seller is disenchanted with a product. if you "assume" that to be the case, while it isn't always the case, it won't matter whether a dealer or non-dealer is selling.

unfortunately telling someone that the reason for a sale is a dislike of a component will deter sales. i don't sell what i like.
