I don't get this statement, he decided to put it up on auction and get a true market value on his sale. That isn't greed at all, he is actually doing all of us that own a pair a favor by showing us what the true market value is. I don't know of RVF ever playing the shill game, I've always had good experiences with him and respect his pricing because the guys always been spot on with his product knowledge. If you have proof of dishonest auction practices then please by all means share, if not then respect the guys willingness to put it on auction to begin with. Greed is buying for $200 today, then putting it up on BIN for $600-1000 (3x to 5x value) relatively quickly to pimp other collectors. There are such people in our midst, hell some make a living doing it. And people ask why I wasn't active here for so long, lol... I'm a collector and RVF is the same, props to him for having the willpower not to wear these beauties for all the years he's owned them and now allowing someone else a rare opportunity to own a pristine example as well.Greed. It’s a shame since he supposed be one of the more respected forum members.
