Ilwrath has a point IMHO. I'm amazed about how much information people can extract from a few posts: his motives, the purpose of the comments, etc.

I wish I was that clever; I would have been rich by now.

I'll just go on with my ordinary life, and let others figure everything out about me, based on this post....

Amiga.org rocks on many levels and is still *better* than most/all of the other AmigaFanForums - IMO. It's comprised mostly of kind hearted people who aren't afraid to share their advise and techniques. Still MUCH value to be had here, make no mistake about it.


I agree and I'm aware of it.

Still I will never again put something up for sale here...

@ZeBeeDee

It's not based on this thread alone but experiences in the past as well.

Are you afraid somebody is going to have something to say about your goods? To say you will NEVER sell here again is pretty harsh. So much for having an open mind.


Well, you were right in the middle of the storm in this one, I have been in one myself here on this very forum. A FS thread with a high priced item will quickly run into a a lot of posts stating that the item is priced to high, with posts of finding similar cheaper items for them to justify their claim that the item should cost that, and only that.

If you, as I have, choose not to put things up for sale on forums like this you get less attacks (I have been called a lot of things by now), a quicker sale, and you get the price you want for it.

Call me narrow minded, but I prefer the less hazzle I have by selling outside forums.

tone007, doctorq, ZeBeeDee, and whoever else it may concern:

The funniest thing is, if you guys were not on this cheerleader-like crusade to paint Redromola as some kind of martyr over this issue, you might actually see that the essence of what myself and others (such as ffstrack, Save2600, etc) were actually saying was in favour of YOUR right to choose exactly what YOU, as a seller, wanted to charge for your items - without the fear of having some cretin rear his ugly little head in the middle of your FS thread questioning your prices.


Again someone magically can see into other peoples head...

I have never tried "to paint Redromola as some kind of martyr over this issue" as you state, and I have never done the opposite. I have only stated that I won't sell on the forum, and I have given my reason for not doing so. Clearly I'm not alone on my point of view.

As someone else besides me has experienced, things get ugly pretty quickly, if the price doesn't suit all of the members. Look up some of the FS threads that has been in the past.

There is no doubt in my mind that if a sought after item (accelerator, graphics card, etc) is put for sale here for a higher price than you usually see, you will see the first couple of users jump in saying it is overpriced, linking to auction with a similar item for a different price. Why bother turning it into something ugly like it has been here, when you can avoid it all together?? You already know my answer.

-EDIT-

By the way; I won't mind to see this thread die as well, so my post should not be seen as blowing to the fire. Just wanted to iron out some of the misunderstandings some people had or may have.
