I bought and sold stuff here, I've also given stuff away. Whenever I sell something or give it away, I don't give a rats arse what they do with it. If they want to sell it for more than they paid me power to them. This is America isn't it?

Free market capitalism??? What a joke. Whiny old people??? Only an jerk would make a comment like that.
Look, the issue is level of expectation. Site members offer products here to members for a good price to help a "brother" as someone said above. If you are a flipper let the seller know, maybe they don't care or will honor your offer if no one wants the deal. The prices are low to reasonable for a reason, help a CTFer get something they may otherwise not afford. Anyone can put it on Ebay or Craigslist for a higher price. How smart do you have to be to do that?? No "free market capitalist" needs to apply. Just a reasonable seller and buyer with the right level of expectation. Is that too hard to ask?? Is that a problem??
Do all of you hot-shot flippers get the message?

If your flipping on ctf then big time your not...I've never sold anything on this site but have given away five boats, a 7.5 merc and an 80 lb thrust foot pedal trolling motor..Free to people that otherwise may not have had it..all because of ctf and the passion we share .The deals were done on the basis of afford ability. If someone were to flip something on deception then I can understand some hard feelings but if someone is buying outright, fare and square so to speak and then sells it for a few bucks more than more power to em I say..Even if I give something away I don't care if the person sells it to make a buck...If they need it that bad then hey they need it that bad...

That is a great point Joe, as a matter of fact the ONLY point that matters.

I have bought, sold, given away, and accepted free items on this site. It is a great resource and if everyone is honest and upfront there should never be any problems or bad feelings.

I don't understand the controversy about asking for a little integrity about what your intentions are.


That sums it up nicely.

That's all I'm asking of people.
