Crapping on peoples "For Sale" threads.

[Bob Kavanaugh]

I'm not talking about these first post scam job guys, but the people who post things with a price that may be a little higher than you'd expect. Wouldn't it be better to notify someone by PM, than to out them in plain view? I'm all for protecting our members from a bad deal, but on the other hand, I'm also for allowing sellers to have a for sale thread that isn't littered with posts on how perspective buyers can undercut them.

Just my take. I figured it was time for me to rant a little.

What do you think?

[Bassn Blvd]

Wouldn't you want to know if you could get the same product at a less expensive price?  I don't think it can be called a DEAL unless BOTH parties make out.

[Guest muddy]

It's a mixture of things. A couple of times, long time members were trying to get the high end of a fair price for an item , that BPS or Cabelas had on sale for lees or the same mney, I pm'd them to give them a heads up.

A few times there were out and out badd offers being made by first time posters and some of the kids were asking about the product so i asid something to call attention to it one the thread, maybe I was out of line, I don't know. Didnt want to see a kid getting taken advantage of  I get a lot of stuff off that forum and have only been , well not burned but the item was not what was stated, the gentleman though made good by taking the item back

[Bob Kavanaugh]

Again, I am for notifying the seller of their pricing issues, but I think that the PM is the proper vehicle in this situation.

[Guest muddy]

I'm feeling ya 8-)

[Bob Kavanaugh]

Yeah muddy man, I guess there are certain instances where, like you mentioned, it would be appropriate to make mention of it in the thread itself.

It's all about the kids  

[Guest muddy]

I hope no one interfered with you it's guys like you,Pond Hopper

Cart 7,Glenn and Five Bass Limit that put up quality stuff, often understated and for fair prices.

Google has a nice little " product search results " anytime I see something posted in a forum I would be interested in I do my research. Google it, check BPS, check Cabelas, h*ll check Walmart if you have to. Sellers and/or buyers may not be aware the item they are selling is discounted somewhere. So a PM to a seller or buyer is a great idea, I'm sure the price would be adjusted. Do your homework folks.

I would like to think most fishermen/women are being as honest as possible, just uninformed or unaware the item can be gotten cheaper new. See I have this sickness that won't let me part with any fishing gear, but it allows me to buy everything I think I need....or is that want? ;D : ;D

Good topic to be discussed.

P.S. Got anything for sale? haha

[jasone]

Caveat Emptor ;D

Yeah, I have an older model BPS Extreme Woo Daves signature worm rod with 6 inches broken off and retipped at 6 feet, the cork has been sanded down to nothing, and I'm sure the guide inserts are ready to pop out any second now. $475 shipped in a fun-noodle.

;D

A good while back a thread ran sort of like this one.  Here was the gist:

If you come across an item that you are interested in,  post.

If not,  don't.

Wish you had 2 of those....It's just not worth paying the shipping for one  

[Bob Kavanaugh]

I'll toss in a pocket fisherman, and some banjo minnows.

[Bob Kavanaugh]

Bob don't fish with no Fin-whack rods  >

It's ugly stick or nuthin', ain't you never seen no commercials?  ;D

[Guest muddy]

I ll throw in some gloves too

[Bob Kavanaugh]

But are they ice fishing gloves?  :-?

[cart7t]

I've heard the latest thing is to wear ice fishing gloves while you're out big game fishing.  I wish I knew someone selling that sort of outfit to get me started.  

[Matt Jungblut]

i understand what ur saying and i try not to get involved unless it really apperent that there tryin to rip someone off

i have sold alot of things on here some i try to give a really killer deal

some things i sell for way under what there worth and some things i feel i sould get close to or a tad above market value

ill give 2 to examples

i was trying to sell my g-loomis rod and wanted 180 plus 20 shipping = 200  brand new from g-loomis was 240 plus shipping

i also was tryin to sell a pinnacle matrix reel only used maybe 5 times

new it was $150 seen them going for 100 on ebay

i wanted to sell it for 50 with a extra spool

hell of a deal if u ask me

sometimes u can give a heck of a deal other times u try to break even
