Hi! I’m a new poster!! Come bid on my “$5.00 Flea-Market Find” on ebay!!! $5.00 Flea-Market Find

agreeing with what FMcamaroZ28 wrote, they should’ve done a “want to sell”:

yeah… we’ll trust you bout as far as ?&%$!

Here a link to the auction is.

Since my name is in the first post I should clarify that I have no reason to not trust him more than anyone else here.

I actually placed the first bid for the light… But yes a WTS would have been better for BLF.

To each their own I guess.

flash.light, can I gently suggest that you take it down a notch? This isn’t the first time you’ve had an itchy finger with the accusations, and — just my opinion, here — you’re out of line. A number of people have posted links to ebay auctions here.

This is a friendly place, and slinging vitriol around doesn’t help.

Right on, enough with the BLF Police act.
Keep it courteous.

What happened to the original post?

Wow. Talk about a high horse………

Who are you to call people out like this? Its a forum, a collaborative, why must you be so negative? I have yet to see one instance that would cause me to raise an eyebrow here, regarding members that is….jeez man

I don’t think it is that big of a deal. People “flip” things all the time.

I agree with your statement. I dont agree with bringing it here. If you respect the place and the members than we should do our best to keep this as far as possible. although sh-t will happen.

TBH I think auctioning it off is more fair than a WTS thread.
Another forum I am apart of has a section for auctions, I think we should try that. Then the stuff would stay in the community.

I can gaurantee you a flashaholic will buy it, and I'm hoping that person will be me. ;) I could always use a nice baseball bat with a moonlight mode.

Hah, that's my avatar I have used for over a year on 'Brothers of Briar'. Think about it, the Supreme Chancellor didn't smoke a pipe.

I have been on 'the bay' for years, have a great feedback score, and offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. I've never had an item returned, but would gladly refund anyone's money if they are not happy.

Maybe I should've used the other forum (of which I'm a member) and auctioned it off, but I've always used this method and it's worked fine for me since 2002. Besides, with the bidding having already started, it's too late now anyway. I could cancel the bids and end it early, but that would upset more people than it would please. If I would've listed it under FS, I would have no idea what to sell it for anyway. This adds the element of 'fun' to it, and who knows - maybe a new flashoholic/modder will be made after the buyer upgrades this thing. This might just generate a new member or two as well.



Come to think of it, on the other forums I visit a thread like this would be deleted and a stern warning would be sent by one of the Mods or Admin to the thread starter.

I will add I love the ebay auction, it lets you get the most money possible for it and allows more people to see it and bid on it. (And also gives me a chance at sniping it)
