[WWI] "hostage" feedback

[Magnus Berggren]

I really don´t think I´m imagining thing, but even if I am, I believe that 
it´s my right to leave negative feedback on any transaction that I wasn´t 
happy about. Mr Weier mentioned the capitalist system, but this is the total 
opposite. Good capitalism is based on giving the best possible price to the 
customer, and by this making him come back to you. This is how the the west 
differs from the rest, and why we won the economic war in the last 5 
centuries. We left the basaar system, and understood that it more efficient 
to skip all the time consuming haggling and bickering, and make more 
transactions in less time. It cuts down the transaction costs. Make both 
buyer and seller happy, and the odds of them doing business again increases 
proportionally. But it also needs an open flow of information (feedback), 
otherwise we all will go back to the basaar system again. Some say we 
already have, and even if it´s not happened full out yet, I tend to believe 
that´s a high risc, if business ethics will continue to crumble at the rate 
it has the last 20 years.
Anyway,  he got his money, and will get negative feedback, and I will have a 
crushed £17 ($34) Lifelike Hawker Fury.
