To further emphasize that it’s not only the duty of the buyer to seek out information elsewhere, but that it’s actually not even the duty of the seller to avoid expressing misinformation

I fail to see any misinformation from the seller in this case, please correct me if I’m wrong. A high price is not misinformation, it’s simply a high price, and as such I trust users’ intelligence just as they would do in any other buying situation.

As a forum, BLF is not responsible for these unfortunate situations, as stated in our policy: On the other hand, BLF does not condone illegal activity or other shady business practices: So, while I do not personally moderate or oversee personal business transa…
