After about a week she posted them on the swap board at almost double the price she had bought them from me. After some thought, I pm'd her about the inflated price. She first said that she didn't remember how much she paid me, but that she didn't think she should change the price just to make me feel better. And she hasn't.

I told her she shouldn't change it just to make me feel better, but because she feels it's the right thing to do.

I think she feels I'm being overly sensitive. Am I?

Thoughts?

I think it's extremely poor form on her part, and I definitely wouldn't buy from or swap with anyone who did this.

I went back through recent postings on the swap board, and found the products (and NCer) you're referring to. There is a HUGE disparity between what she paid and what she is now charging: a 43% markup, to be exact. A few bucks to cover shipping, OK, but this is inexcusable!

Just my two cents, FWIW.
