It's like if you see someone standing near you is gonna get hit by a car ... you pull them out of the way.
I see a lot of people in this hobby who have set themselves up to get run over by fake prices at AHs because they simply don't see it. Artificially bloated prices threaten any industry, just look what happened with the real estate market. There are people that cheat out there who undermine the legitimacy of this hobby. When the bubble bursts it's gonna be messy.
This threatens everyone who enjoys collecting these pieces of cardboard.
The solution is the same thing that has worked in many other industries, transparency and regulation. People need rules, and people need to be able to see what's going on so they can police things themselves.
