I think the idea is that if you are going to be a dealer on Blade Forums that you should Buy a Dealer Membership.

Buy as many as you like, sell them for what the market will bear, but if you do that commonly here, just get the right Membership.

Or just sell them some place else.

How Many? and how Often to be considered a Dealer is up to Sparky.

I vote with my Money.
 
God bless America... and capitolism!;)

Took the words right out of my mouth. I am a true Capitalist at heart. If someone wants to buy low and sell high later, I see no problem with that. I surely do not want to live in a socialist/communist society, even if it means I might get a game warden for cheaper.

This is what makes this country so great. Anyone can be successful with ingenuity and investment. The stock market is the same way. Buy at a certain low price and sell high later. The consumer is what determines the true value of a product. If there is no demand for gamewardens at $300 bucks, they will not sell.

Thing is here to be successful on a regular basis, in additon to ingenuity you also need a dealer membership. If you are buying and selling for profit on a regular basis you just might be a DEALER. In which case you need to buy a dealer membership. :thumbup:
 
and you havent been around long enough to get a good feel for the place.

I've been here a year and I still don't have a good feel for the place. :confused:
It's the old time HOGs that keep me straight and comming back for more. :thumbup:
Maybe one day in a galaxy far far away I'll be worthy of the HOG title. :D

To keep this simple..

-I had 1 mass purchase, just one major scoring weekend. (after many months of unsuccessfully trying to score even a single warden). So the dealer definition of 'repeat' does not apply to me, at least not until I repeat.
-I never sold a single knife for more than market price, so the 'scalping' BS is simply ignorant. In fact, each and every knife I sold, I did so at a better total price than other forumites were asking (and selling for) at the time... (what buyer doesn't look before they leap?)
-Prices go up, prices go down.. knives appear and disappear, it's a yo-yo, wtf- that's life. grow a pair if you need'em to deal with that reality...
-we all hit the trough with the same goal, to get INFI.
-Many of my last score were keepers, many sold for market, many traded, and a few sold at cost for active military and to other friendly forumites. Welcome to the world of "I do what i want with my INFI, and you do what you want with your Money."
-FriendofBill, this is now the 3x you came at me personally, wtf? It looks very small and misguided from where I sit... but i guess if you say it loud and often enough...
-I just remember the last forumite who called me a scalper was selling more knives than me, and for more $$ for many weeks, but then on the first of the month, he deleted/edited all his adds, dropped his prices and slammed me for 'overcharging our military.' again, small and misguided, but that is the market, and that is ones particular character...
 
OMG! CObaLT IS RIGHT AGIAN!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

(EDITED FOR CONTENT. KEEP THE T&A IN THE W&C FOLKS.)

are you sure that's not a badger in your avitar? :confused:
 
Perhaps IF the "NO REGRETS" story was told to those who have not heard (read) it, they may see the error of their ways... "Folklore" does have a purpose... to teach the newly initiated by telling the stories that define the ways of the Pack, errr the Trough. Just my thought, as I recently heard that story from The Boss not too long ago. :) ... BTW, HAMMY, you ROCK. :thumbup::thumbup:
:cool:
 
Perhaps a point to be made is this... Only kill what you intend to eat. If not sell the extra for as much as you can.:eek:

Agreed. So we have no issues. I will let you know if i get a extra for you.

I am just a new piggy but I got a spankin' new credit card,
Don't none of you Hogs BLINK!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
as it turns out, i sent the wife out to save the world, so I get to hunt tonight-
Guyon, I think your swell

-we need another thread for tonights scores... a little talley of who gets what, and incase one of us loads up and starts to drop... that thread would be the right place to give notice...

-just a side note, I think this is the coolest warden yet- flames for crying out loud... I would be proud to use this guy trackside...

Well, I really don't even know you other than by your actions here. My personal observation is that during the last two GW ganzas you scoffed up a gazillion GW's, bragging about it all the way, and on the day of there arrival had a gazillion for sale at enormously jacked up prices. Shipping aside, since they were all bought at once, they cost $217 each, and were for sale around $300. People paid those prices because they weren't available to them otherwise because they were scoffed up by greedy pigs by the dozen. You had 6-8 for sale of each kind. You bought all those for users? If you're going to proudly act like a greedy pig, then own it all the way. Why are you trying to twist this around after the fact. You were quite proud of your behavior that night. Then when called out about it you're like, I'm just being a good hog, No Regrets man. You don't even know what that means obviously.

All that I'm saying here in this thread is who do you think JAB is refering to? He's refering to a small group who are abusing this site like profiteering pirates. We all know who they are, I just happened to name one of them. No Regrets, right?

BTW, your new signature makes less sense than your last one. Maybe it's just me.
 
Let's be clear - we're talkin about Jaxx aren't we? ROTFL!!!!!


Honestly, there is so much biz on the exchange I couldn't tell you who is a "scalper" and who isn't. WAAAY too much going on.

And that said, how many GW's do you have to scalp before qualifying for Dealer status??? If you make $50 per, how many per year? 100? 300? 1,000?

See? "Dealer" is someone who holds themselves out as making a regular buck. I might be blind (since if you have GW's I ignore your FS thread b/c I already HAVE what I need. . . so far), but I don't see anyone regularly selling GW's for a massive profit. Heck, it seems that most of the GW's I see lately are running at break-even. Sometimes at Flea-bay too. Buy-it-now at $230 for a black GW?

Ahhh, it's all over anyhoo. Good luck to those who hang around and F5 there way to a knife. I DID find a new way to grab a fast one from the BCS. And no I'm not tellin. It's MY trick!
 
d'OH. I gotta say IB, he's got you. Micky did copy your FS so deleting prices (which is an annoying practice on the FS forums here. I don't get it) won't help.

I got no dog, but I had to look.
 
FOB, I hear ya. :thumbup:

I missed the Black Tie Wardens, and was not able to swing a trade for my extra Orange. I haunted the Exchange, but I sure wasn't about to pay $300 to anybody. :grumpy:

Eventually the market was saturated, prices started falling ( Capitalism! :thumbup: ) and I snagged one for only a small premium.

I got lucky tonight and scored a pair of Flame Wardens, because my wife wanted one. I will try to help out a good guy in need.
 
Cobalt, I had a long debate with my wife about whether or not those were tig bittys, or bake foobs. I said they were the real deal cuz I've seen the moving avatar. But she thinks they're either medically or digitally enhanced. Which is it?
