So you didn't get the result you wanted when you reported the guy and now think flippers who buy up limited runs of knives and sell them here for a profit without a dealer membership is a good thing???

You are confused as hell.

No. I reported him to see if anything would happen to a flipper, if his post was taken down, then me as a user would have WAY to much power to simply report someone for flipping and muck up their sales.. Im telling you people who sell here for profit are helping this community get more business. If you start charging dealers license, alot of people will probably not sell here, and people who missed sprints would have no way period of getting them besides eBay or bento or a much higher flipper.

So the scalpers are doing the community here a service?

You've got to be kidding me.

This right here is THE joke. Telling people what their prices should be. You don't find that on other sites. Sales threads used to be civil before this witch hunt.

Either you want it, or you don't. This whole fiasco is doing more harm than good.

Or it could be an actual negotiation. Don't let your trolling get in the way of reality.

You don't even participate here. Who are to to tell everyone how it should be run. Please take your opinions to insta, or youtube, or facebook, or what every place that isn't here. Sending fake reports is complete disrespect to the mods, the owner of this website, and this community. You won't be missed.

It is completely flawed logic. So flippers who buy 4 of something to flip, making it so actual knife users can't buy said knives is a service here. No it is not. Sounds like words from a flipper.

Agreed. They create the shortage and then capitalize on the shortage. A service to the community? :confused: you can't make this stuff up.

Don’t care. There’s a community at work here. A great example: A member here reached out to me yesterday and asked if I would be willing to buy an extra of an upcoming sprint run for him in case he wasn’t able to get one. I said, “of course”. Another member recently saw that I was having trouble finding a sprint and offered it to me at cost plus shipping. Great bunch of people here that take care of each other. The more this sense of community is fostered and the more we all put the flippers on ignore, the better off we’ll be.

Thats great you can do that. Just dont restrict who I sell to or demand i price my stuff to your standards.

shinyedges said:
No I won't. I don't buy them at those prices.

Again.. Other people here do. Who are you to say they cant buy at that price just because you dont. Or that i cant sell at that price because you dont.

No one is saying you shouldn't be able to price your items how you want, just don't buy items for the sole reason of flipping them at a profit. And if you are selling 4 of the same knife at mark up, you are flipping, which is clearly against the rules. It will also bring you negative attention from members who actually participate here, and not just buy and sell.

This really isn't a difficult concept to understand. I'm not sure why you are having trouble with it. Oh wait, you don't participate here......
