Buying multiple knives as soon as available, to resell most

[Gastonknife]

Some one please put a fork in this! Opinions have been beat to death.

nope. I'm mad? You're the angry one blowing things out of proportion. Calm down it's just a knife.

Nope, not at all. Sorry your feelings are hurt.

Personally, I'm less annoyed by flippers than I am by people who consider themselves some sort of moral arbiter.

A+.

That is The Great Divide. And its why a topic like this is so contentious. Some people want to live their lives and just be left alone. To flip or not to flip. Other people were never chosen to be hall monitors in the 3rd grade, and want everyone else to be as unhappy as they are, so they spend their lives meddling in everyone else's business.

So this thread isn't really about knives. Its about the tension between people who want to be left alone, versus those who feel compelled to tell everyone else how to live.

Its not about the knife. That misses the point. Its about something far more insidious in the human psyche.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I truly appreciate & concur with this perspective.

I dig this quote, Bryan! "CUPIDITY...a wonderful sounding word, to add to my vocabulary.

I honestly didn't read much of this thread- I know where I stand on this topic, & that's all that really matters to me. I have a couple of very good friend's here, who partake in flipping- but have also given me exceptional/buddy deals! :thumbup:

You got that right. Those members who have declared themselves the BF "moral compasses" certainly are tiresome.

Sensibilities? Unfortunately, some people are severely lacking, in core values.

.. it's this person's lack of humanity (the way he treats desperate people), that makes this guy one of the worst.

His supporter's, are always welcome to move over to that other forum. The Mod's/Spark, made the right call, banning this guy permanently! :thumbup:

And yes, it's way too early, & very tactless on your part, to even be asking this question. Unless you are an involved party, (had a transaction with Ryan or Kristina), I'm asking you politely: please bud out.

What bothers me so much about this situation, is the fact that this maker (provided he is still alive), hasn't had the decency to respond.

It's obvious who is doing this on the exchange. What bothers me is not if this is fair or not, capitalism or socialism.. geez, we are talking about flipping on the forum. The issue I have with knife flipping in the exchange is if people are following the forum rules. The exchange rules clearly state what's allowed and what isn't. The ebay/forum flippers should pay the dealer rate to flip knives here.. or get banned... if we are following the rules of the forum.
