Yeah, I was quite willing to give them the benefit of a doubt (that they regretted setting the SB so low, and made a complaint, and it got blown out of proportion), because I honestly do get 'seller's remorse', where I felt like I could have gotten more than I did.
But, ultimately that is on me. It is on the seller to make sure they set prices they are comfortable with selling at.
The posts I saw, even if they had 'jokes' cut out, still went way beyond being upset, especially the part about the 'lost' profit. Because no, apparently no one was interested in said dragon, except one person, so there was no 'profit' lost, because no one apparently wanted to buy it (at least at that particular time) for higher than the SB.
It is like, to me, the people who complain about 'lost profits' with items that they 'invested' in and something happens to make that item devalue. No you didn't lose profits, you lost potential profit.
