Everyone else I encounter in the scuba community seems to have a brain or at least some decency. Guess I found the exceptions

To borrow from Yoder - ungrateful, and rude, you are.It’s interesting that my comments are labeled as “sad sack”. I clearly state my intention for a NEW IN BOX Olympic and you post a link for an overpriced, torn up empty box. Cool! Wow I hadn’t seen that listing before and I didn’t realize that stuffing one of my Olympics in that box would pretty much be the same thing! I was actually trying to be polite in my original response that it was only the box because I assumed you were either careless or limited. I’ll go with limited. For the second guy, yeah dude that’s super easy! Only issues are that it’s overpriced by about $100, not only is it not new in box but it’s far from even mint, and it’s not early 70s model.
God damn.
Sounds good!To borrow from Yoder - ungrateful, and rude, you are.
A couple of folks note items that, while not exactly what you are looking for (a mint condition, new in box outdated and obsolete artifact of days gone by that likely doesn't exist on the face of the planet), see something related and thinking you may have an interest based on your initial inquiry, they actually go to the trouble to log back into this thread and post a pointer, should you decide to take a look, say "yeah, not exactly, but it's cool" and might want to follow up. And for their trouble, you rudely bash them because they didn't deliver exactly the unobtainium plated piece of s, er, gear that you sought.
The way I'd react would be "thanks for thinking of me" and ignore the suggestion if I had no interest. A less civil person might just ignore. But, to paraphrase, "It's not what I'm looking for! It's overpriced! It's crap! Goddamn."
Childish and ungrateful and self-centered all come to mind when trying to frame the behavior shown. Get over yourself.
Tell you what - from now on, when you see a posting from >>OMMOHY<< just fast forward past it and save yourself all the effort and anguish and pain it causes you...
Surprised to learn I am obviously lacking a brain and decency -
