Can you demonstrate this "pattern of posting, claiming hardship, and then accepting donations from community members [...]" from Akula?

In your time of need, i would hope you do not receive the very same treatment you are giving Akula.

Provide proof, or hold your tongue.

That's the price. Need extra cash now. Selling higher cause I need the money. I don't need anything from Amazon, I just need to pay my mortgage - i'm 1 month behind now and don't want to hit 2 months behind. Lost my job 
Sorry to offend anyone.

LOL - Not slavery but sometimes it feels like that. I have 2 kids (10 and 11 years old) and i'm a single dad. After mortgage, utilities, food, gas, kids expenses (one son is in swimming and the other is in volleyball) i'm wiped for the month. I'm lucky to buy to 5 to 10 XC per paycheck. I'm actually excited when I accidentally save some extra money so I can take my kids out to eat once in a while. You should see me in the house shutting off all the lights and unplugging everything I can to save some money on my electricity bills.

...but the price goes to $400 and I dont want to spend that much(I have 2 kids and im a single dad, every penny counts  )

I purchased 12 on that day. And true, thats all I could afford at that time. And yes, people donated and I thanked them I'm a single father with 2 kids. Sole provider. Kids need to eat, bills need to be paid, mortgage, etc.... I spend where/when I can.
