When we start putting all kinds of values on our time and making sure we get more than we give, we turn into rats in a cage and we'll tear each other apart.
I've never ripped a scalper publicly, but I haven't bought anything from them either, unless BBTS qualifies. It's their right, I agree, but I can't support it.
Dude...which I agree with. Hey, if I can help a fellow guy out...no problem, I will. Would I personally charge for gas....no, odds are...if I find what you want...that was cause I was at a place looking for what I wanted.. My gripe is all the threads people post here in the ebay forumn...and people ripping them because they are asking ebay prices. Do I agree with it...NO. Is it the going price on ebay....YES. Who sets the prices on ebay....THE BUYERS.
Do I agree with people who don't collect...buying the stuff up just to make a quick buck? HELL NO. But don't hate the guy who pays the price for something that is well out of his area. If someone pays 5 bucks more....next seller is gonna ask for 10 bucks more....tis simple economics, feeling out where the market settles.
Listen...the best advice I can give anyone here is this: MAKE FRIENDS. Friends will keep you in mind when they go hunting....friends will pm you when they are going hunting and ask: "WHAT DO YOU NEED???" Friends will not rake you over the coals.
