I would obviously say you are "too ethical" in this case, as im the one selling/trading it. Yes, please note i am also offering to accept TRADE for it (something i wrote *plain as day* in the header of the listing!). I myself got the CD as part of a trade recently, and while i like several of the tracks a great deal, i thought id pass it on to a new home. $8 was just an average/typical used CD price i picked out of the hat, one i thought and still think quite reasonable. This seems pretty obvious, but just because a cd was originally released free or as a promo is no reason for it not to then or later not have market or trade value! This has been said many a time (TOO many a time) before- if you dont wish to buy something (whatever your reasons), then trade for it, or go on your merry way. Theres really no reason at all to whine publically in this situation, accept to gratify yourself and annoy others. Oh and next time you start criticizing someone for being _unethical_, it might be more _ethical_ to approach that person with your comments/questions at least initially in private, giving an opportunity for positions to be clairfied, before blacklisting to the general public and all. ! -Thad
