As Both a Buyer and a Seller...

[mike1234]

...I appreciate both sides of the deal. I've bought and sold somewhere between 4000 and 5000 items so I know what it's like to be treated fairly or cheated from either direction. I know that some folks "just don't get it". In today's generation-x/y/z society, it's all about "me". Well, sorry folks, like it or not we're in this together. The more we take advantage of each other and the less we help each other. The more divided we become. Welcome to the "new brave world" full of insincerity, distrust, greed, and fear.

Would PE last even one week if they sold damaged goods claiming "no problems"? Not on your life. PE is a nice place to buy because they never lie and they always stand behind their products. As individuals, shouldn't we have the same integrity? Come on folks, what's become of us?

*** For those of you who've read my recent threads: This has nothing to do with my current deal. I won't know the outcome until I'm sure the seller "fully understands" all the issues and has had "ample time" to deal with them. I currently have no complaints... will update later and post images if need be. Sorry if you don't like my style :-)

Dude, why do you have the need to push your ideals on the board as a whole? Many of us come here to hash out designs, not everything else. Don't feel that everything you do is backed up by a brotherhood, more often than not you just need to be responsible for your own dealings.
Best of luck, but please don't preach. Regards, Aric
