[QUOTE="Mr-shifter, post: 422640, member: 4949"] Hi Adam. I'm going to step in here and make a couple of points. The issue around prices, it is a problem across the hobby and people don't like it. Stuff is becoming more expensive and it's not good. It's a general moan most people have. However the origional point that Ed was making was not regarding the fact that prices are high, we all know that, but it was the heavy handed nature in which the issue in question was dealt with. A free market is just that, but by price fixing you are contributing to bloating a market. Let me follow that up a bit of logic and reasoning. Wing pilots have gone up in price. The reason is demand is there. People need them. Once demand has gone, b wing pilots come back down in price. By holding the price of b wing pilots at the old rate, you are artificially bloating the market. One of my biggest gripes with facebook as a whole, a lot of people who use it can't be bothered to do any reading or research about any of the hobby beyond the thrill of buying and selling. This is why a lot of the time people have no idea of what they have, what it's worth and how rare it really is. Sometimes the level of ignorance is mind blowing. [/QUOTE]
