Ok...
Well I've posted draft rules that involve banning the price police. Most are supportive, a couple people would prefer I let the PP be.
Since the rules are just 'draft', I thought I might be useful for me to try some price policing myself to see if I really think it is protecting newbies.
So here I go.

Pacman painting. BIN $12,000,000 but will accept an offer.
Seller also has a gumball machine painting for the same price.

I think the price might be a tad high and that a newbie might get ripped off.
Um.. Do I feel better for protecting a newbie? No, I just feel guilty for suggesting someone might have mispriced their item for sale... after all, there might be some 'retail' buyers out there that might not care about asking for a 2 for 1 special.
I wonder how many pounds $12,000,000 in quarters would weigh... ok I looked it up. So each quarter weighs about 5.670 grams, so $12m worth weighs 6000 pounds.
