A. Is that considered fair, or would that be just as frowned upon or moreso than selling them openly.
B. How do you sell via PM? How does anyone know you are selling it? Etc?
If you ask for their permission to sell something privately via PM, and they give you their thumbs-up, then why wouldn't it be fair??
More to the point -
I am almost certain that if you had originally approached this by contacting the other member to explain the situation and ask for their permission to privately sell it (under the understanding that you had made an error in not realizing that they were selling the host themselves, and that you weren't planning to sell more of them afterward) you would have received a warm response.
I know this, because this kind of open courteous interaction does happen, and slack is cut.
But it probably won't happen to you, if you take the approach of saying things like:
"I have this host I wanna sell and you say it is one of your signature hosts, but dude you have like an unlimited number of signature hosts and I disagree. I still like and respect you buddy but I'm going to go against you on this one."
Nobody is going to warm to that. Nobody is going to show sympathy / cut slack, if you're not respecting courtesy yourself up front.
