I just wanted to post a thread about something I feel needs to be told to all....Since I have joined the tank, it has opened new doors for me as far as meeting people that share the same interest as I do, that being of course a love for collecting all things GI Joe. I very much enjoy the community as a whole around here and reading the news and posts. Some of those I have met here have become good friends, and though distanced, we chat usually once or twice almost daily. It is through these chat sessions that we all get to share our various Joe stories and such and like I said it is very nice to talk with friends who share the same interests. Tonight, I would like to make a special mention of a friend who I met here, and has in my opinion gone above the call of duty and loyalty. Hisstanker "Team Z" has actually found for me the coveted best of the 80's boxed set, and a Doc figure and is giving them to me at cost. He could have easily e-bayed these, or sold them here and made a small fortune, but he didn't. Instead he remembered a guy he never met in real life, and was excited to give me this news. To me this is a big thing, like I said already, he could've sold them at much more and I would've never known. So I just want to give Team Z some public recognition and congrats for this unselfish act. He is a true friend indeed!!

I ALWAYS SAY , DO ON TO OTHERS I treat people the way i would want to be treated , if i see a joe fig sitting there lonely on the pegs , and i know a tanker wants it , i would buy it if i had the extra cash , and sell it at cost , there isnt any point in trying to make an extra 1.50 off someone who is gonna put the toy to good use..
I love joe collectors and appreciate another person who shares the same passion as i do ! so whoever "team z" is , congratulations ,man All good deeds do not go unanswered ! |

that's awesome. There are some really decent and just damn cool people on this board who I'm sure I have nothing else in common with but I'd be interested in meeting in person, simply based on the character they've
emitted through PM's, trades, etc. I'm with you all the way.

Thanks for posting this great story 8-Timber! I applaude you as well TEAM Z!
I feel that this is the main reason why most of us join up at sites like this, so that we can help out one another. I think that it's great to help out our fellow fans in trying to complete their collections. It sickens me why I hear the horror stories about trades gone bad and people just screwing over another human being. I also feel the same way about people who charge other people way over cost for something. I understand that time is money, and that maybe you spent some extra gas going out of your way, but to charge someone double, tripple, or ever quadruple the price is just uncalled for. I don't even care what something is going for on Ebay. If someone wants to make Ebay type money on something then they should just sell it there in the first place. I know that people are free to do what they want to do, and if someone is willing to pay their prices then so be it, but on this site we are all like family and we should treat each and everyone that way. Except if you have a dysfunctional family that is!
