[Roadsters] Ethics - was: Best source for selling a roadster

[NotMGB]

I am wondering exactly what is ethical myself.

Is it ethical to say on the 28th


selling parts is not a profit making venture, it merely offsets the
expenses of having a roadster
obsession, a labor of love. if you folks don't have the decency, honesty, and
integrity to appreciate that

And say a week later:

playing with roadsters is my sole source of income, I'm an old white
haired retired guy ;-)


Is it ethical to tell the woman in Redding you will give her car a
good home, then tell the list you were going to use it to re-body
another car?
Is it ethical to say you have been looking for a 67.5 body for the
last 20 years, when you have had some at your house in the last 2
years?
Is it ethical to buy a 67 2000 on the list for $4K with rare parts an
offer it up on the same list 3 weeks later for $4K without the parts?

Can someone clear this ethics thing up for me?
