I guess I missed the original post that your are referring to, but I would advise you not to sell at Hershey for if this type of thing upsets you'd freak out there.
For every 5 true hobbiest, there is that one snake in the grass. They give you some sob story about losing their job, wife, home, etc. and try to get to you give away a part to them.
Then as your walking around you stumble upon their spot and you notice the part you sold is now marked up 3X times what you sold it for.
When you ask them what's the deal, they all the sudden lose their memory too.
A lot of great folks out there, but every now and then you run into the kooks as well...
