Yes DM, its true and trust me, if it happens in real life, I can't imagine how much it happens in a forum environment.
IMO, the best way to avoid false expectations is to setup a page or ebay and start from there taking orders, those are more realistics than the "i'm in" found in forums. What i meant with "the dust sale is restarted" is that there is an active thread now and people wanting / of ering it.
