This Started as Dr demento's wheels for sale on ebay...and someones wise cracks, please read fully..............
Anymore, Because someone always has to add their two cents in on what you are selling. At ebay you buy or you do not. I set my prices and where my item it posted, not you. And a new item is a new item. Wrapping does not change that, you skate wheels, you do not leave them in a package and place them in a closet to admire. And if you want new in package and willing to pay a extra 25% for the package then do so. But some prefer the savings. As well as planning to use what they buy. if you plan to resell (new in the package is better, or to buy as a collectors item) then pay that extra 25%. I would. But if you plan to use than the package has no meaning. If I was asking $200 for a $50 set of wheels then maybe I can understand a PM with some heads up, but asking less than retail. WHATS THAT! I thought at least at Ebay I would not have to deal with wise cracks from know it all. At least I thought so. It was bad enough when I posted here at "FOR SALE" Now via the forum my ebay post. And ebay suggest where your item should be placed so I sometimes follow their suggestion, sometimes I do not. This forum has lost so many and this is the main reason. No matter what you say others have something to say about it. That has nothing to do with the post. they give advise when advise is not ask for. if you do not like what is posted them move on...for sale post is not a place to submit your opinions on prices or fact, if you have to state a negative then pm that person. do not call them out on a public forum or through your comments suggest that I, or someone else is ripping someone off. I do not do that. And those I have done business with know that. And when you sell on ebay you pay fees on final sale price, insertion fees, shipping fees, and paypal fees. that can run 15% to 25% of the sale price. I have had enough of this bull so I will move on, and only inform of fact, no advice, no opinions, I will only pm or post support of my friends. no other. You may continue running members off, and I will continue with my true friends. P.S Its not just this post I am talking about, Its all the wise cracks, mud slinging, trash talking, and name calling that has filled the forum. You go to a trend and it starts out one way and ends up as a free for all. A cage fight at the forum. WHY? Give me a good reason for this....can you? Even a strait forward tread as FOR SALE has become a war zone. And I am a cry baby because I am pissed off at what is happening to this forum, because members be little me on my FOR SALE post. Even when I do not post them here. If I started acting crazy and started posting off the wall things, the I understand the negative responses. But I am not. This was not the vision that the founders wished it to be. If I am so wrong then why do we have 10,131 registered members and only 861 active. Last year when I joined there was almost 1,300 active. So why is so many jumping ship? I wish you could post something and feel safe that someone would not start the wise cracks, mud slinging, trash talking, and name calling. That they would read the post simply for the read, and not for the cage fight. Even this post has started a free for all. with name calling. So I wrote a book here, its time for all the wise cracks, mud slinging, trash talking, and name calling to begin. |

Randy I agree with ya also. If there`s a price on something that I want but can`t afford, guess what I do? I don`t go to walmart and tell them they are a bunch of jackwagons for having there stuff too high, I move on and wait til I have the cabbage to get said piece. There`s no need for that kind of trash. If you don`t agree with the price speak with the manager and not let the whole store hear it.
I`ve made quite a few a friends since I came back to the forums but I`ve also came across a few that ... well lets say ... how about we leave it at that lol.

That is the key right there. Being a public forum on the interwebs, everyone can say anything they want, and have the comfort of anonymity in what they say. So no real backlash comes, and others just say *You need to get some thick skin*.
All I can say is that if someone does respond in a matter you dont care for, report the post. Don't sit there and argue with people, because it doesn't help you at all.

Well there went the baby with the bath water.
Here's an idea, don't sell anything on the forum or discuss an ebay sale, or complain about a sale, or think about a sale. Just run your mouth, throw in your 2 cents like the rest of us, and deal with it. Idea #2. Start skating on inlines. We are a very tolerant and friendly crowd. ![]() |

I often follow a thread until "it" starts. Then I move on.
This is not the only public skate forum on the interweb, though it is probably the most populated. Lots of good info here, but tedious at times to sort through it all to find the pearls of wisdom. For Sale threads need to be moderated for just the sort of thing you are talking about. I had similar problems on my forums until I instructed the mods to immediately delete anything that was derogatory. I don't care if you want to sell a potato chip shaped like a skate for $250,000. I have the right to make a lower offer, but not to tell you what to ask for it. That sort of thing is annoying to say the least.

Yeah, there’s been some extra nastiness in the quad section lately. FEF must be on vacation too, because there are no bunny pictures to help filter out the bad vibes we get from reading some of these threads.
![]() I also think if people are guilty of slinging mud right back and taking random potshots at the other person in unrelated threads, they should lose their right to run and tattle, because it seems to me that they kinda missed out on their chance to take the high road. I think it would be nice if when you ignored someone, it automatically made it so that neither of you could see each others posts. I realize there are holes in that logic because if you are not logged in, you could see their posts anyway. Not everyone “gets” or appreciates everyone else here. Not by a long shot. ![]() On the the Ebay listings, usually if we know it's another loggers listing, we have enough manners not to comment on the price. ![]() I don't think we should ever say something negative on someone else's For Sale add on the forum, you know for a fact that's a forum members listing and that they, along with everyone else, are reading your mean comments. If you don't like their item, or think it's worth the asking price, I think we should just go on about our own business and let them handle theirs. I guess about all we can do is try to post positive stuff as much as possible, and try not to fuel the flame wars, which is sometimes easier said than done. ![]() |

I think of the "for sale" forum as a place to post what I don't want or can't use any more and maybe someone can get a good deal on something they can use. Not a place for the budding buisness man to get free add space. Some post so much stuff I can't help but wonder if they are ripping it off at speed meets on in rinks. |

I think the worst I ever said (aside from telling californiakid to change his tampon) was the smartass comment in the Dr. Demento thread about finding them at rollerskatin.ca NOS with the shrink wrap even. ![]() |

But you are confusing brutal, honest answers to questions posted in thread with stirring things up. Speaking of stirring things up, why would you keep posting comments like the above if that is not what YOU were looking to do. How many different threads have you posted this in now? Cast ye not the first stone.

Well, this forum is un-moderated. So...... stuff happens. And unless it gets REALLY nasty and/or gets reported, the stuff just stands.
Pissing contests happen. Get a poncho. Or don't post. That seems to be a popular option these days. For me, take the good with the bad, and try to contribute. (although I have been in the middle of the muck a time or two ![]() ![]()
