disclosing the price ur willing to pay is one of the best way to get things u want around here, from my experience. it lets potential sellers know you are serious and entices them with an upfront number to work on. for most items i think tagging someone who may have one isnt a bad idea mostly, but when it comes to stuff like an e2 or a cave board, its not a good idea to go @'ing or PMing everyone u know who has it. not saying this because i think u dont know that already @thomas3184 (and i commend you for not doing so), but for the newer members out there who arent quite familiar with the way things run here and have that newbie thirst which brings with it a certain lack of judgement when it comes to forum etiquette.
