Now that's a horse

I should sell a field knife, or HDFK or something.

No chit. If people are going to get a SDFK and turn around and sell them right away for $500 maybe I should do the same thing. What’s the world coming to. I have more to say but I’ll stop here.

Now, now. Everyone here knows I'll be the first to capitilize on some shenanigans for making a sweet profit. And the fact of the matter is, frankly, that I was not the first. So at some level it irks me. I am losing my edge, it seems.

I think that part of the problem is that we'd prefer flippers, to the extent they must be tolerated, to remain in the exchange, rather than have the community here, and the "buy / sell / trade" thread turn particularly mercenary.

I am not against making a profit either...but it's more palatable when any "excess" goes toward supporting someone who is part of the family, so to speak.

That said, as a mod, I'm duty bound to enforce the law equally for all.

(Unless no one is looking. )

A person can, of course, do as they like. It's a free country. However, I'm also free to sell to whomever I please and a certain someone has been blacklisted here for flipping

Well, that's a fine kettle of fish!

If a person wishes to purchase my product, I greatly appreciate it. If a person purchases my product and later sells it for a profit, good for them. I'm genuinely glad. Seriously. If a person jumps into a hot sale and turns around and flips that at a significant profit after holding it for no length of time, I have a problem with that because it's a person putting themselves into the equation without adding any value to it for greed. Which is fine and dandy. Folks are free to do that. But I don't have to sell to them again in the future.

I trust you know I'm agreeing with you, Nate. If not, I'm losing my touch.

(I've authored more than one anti-flipping tirade hereabouts on the forums over the years. I don't like to see our members taken advantage of.)

Since you brought it up, I have had you in the “should read more, post less” camp for some time……

Actually, $10,000 for you, I remember now, you are the lead chain fugger!
