I say no matter what you're dealing in, food or NOS belt pulleys, even though you have the God-given constitutional right to be a jerk, it's better to treat people right, as in the golden rule. I suspect that the guy who thinks he's sitting on a gold mine today with his truck parts or his land or whatever he has up "for sale" at a fanciful price is also going to think he's sitting on a gold mine of the economy goes to pot and he's got food and his neighbor's hungry.
A good deal has to be a good deal for everybody involved. I know there are some guys who don't enjoy the deal unless they know they screwed the other guy over, and I know it's their right to do so, but in a small town or a small community like the PW community, that kind of reputation spreads pretty fast.
