tlcoy1911 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I respectfully request that you unlock my post in the for sale area.Just because powerman couldn't put his crack pipe down(got'er done post) long enought to know he sold me this RRA 308 bolt carrier at 1/2 the price of the current market value, does not give anyone the right to say that I am price gouging.(If someone posted that they wanted to buy a RRA 308 carrier, and I replied that I had the only one in the world left and if they ever wanted to put their rifle to gather they would have to buy mine, and I want more than current market value) that would be gouging.Can you buy an AR for $700? thats what they were 2 months ago, but you can't buy one now for that.When you fill up with gas, does the station charge you what they paid 2weeks ago for gas? NO, they charge what the current market value is.I saw a DPMS 308 BCG sell for $910 3 weeks ago, did the seller price gouge this?NO, someone paid this much by his own free will.We all know that my RRA carrier is priced at current market value, in 2 months from now if the value of parts change, so will the price of my carrie to match the rest of the parts.This part is offered for sale and no one is forced to buy it from me, but if this is the only part someone needs to complete there rifle, they may be happy to pay this price so they can finally finish there build before the BIG BAN.So if the only rule I broke is that I didn't include a pic, unlock my post and I'll get a pic up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wow, you have some fucking nerve, dude. You are gouging the fcuk out of that, and you well know it. That motherfucker retails for $220 complete on RRAs website, straight from them, and you were just selling a carrier.You bought it cheap here, and turned RIGHT around and tried to fcuk someone on this very board.You need to get your head straight out of your ass.

98Z5V Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I don't give one rat's ass what something was fucking gouged for on GunBroker, or what some fucking idiot is willing to pay in a fucking panic.You bought that same fucking carrier - CARRIER, ONLY - that everyone else on this board had the chance at. You bought it for $125, and you should BE FUCKING GRATEFUL. The guy you bought it from didn't make a damn penny on it, because HE bought it for $125.YOU - you, turn the thing - BEFORE YOU EVEN FUCKING HAVE IT - and advertise it to the same people you bought it from, for $350, or $363 (because you don't want lose any profit from your PP fees).I voted to ban you, right the fcuk off this board. I was voted down. I still think you need to get the fcuk out of here, and never, ever return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 This I strongly feel is not you'r average form.That being said I don't/we don't profiteer from one another.I feel it was beyond making a FEW EXTRA BUCKS from this part.I have / we have the choise of taking a pass and not buying.The carrier wasn't even complete I thought I saw the key was missing.If you are that strapped for money shoulda went to Go broker or someplace along those lines.I don't treat people I know like that,and if it's a bro that needs the part to finish and doesn't have the money he can have the fukin part period.I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment for a brother on this form.

Matt.Cross Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks guys, your comments have been right on. To the OP:We have a fantastic community here, and the rules that have been put in place have largely been unnecessary to this point. However, in the interest of keeping this forum a pleasant place to hang out, we from time to time do in fact review and revise our rules. The "For Sale" section is one such place that's been VERY RECENTLY revised, and the rules posted with instructions to "Read before Posting". Had you done so, not only would your thread not have been closed, but this conversation would never have been.The mods and admins elected NOT to ban your price gouging ass because you're new here and figure everybody deserves at least one 2nd chance at discovering how awesome this forum and it's members are. However, you have elected to FURTHER disobey forum rules by personally attacking a member in public. You are banned until further notice. Good day.

blue109 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 The gouge itself is one thing..dickish, but seems to be the way things are on most forums (the admin of my local board encourages it as a "salute to capitalism") The real classy move was to argue with the mods instead of just taking the wrist slap gracefully..and topping it off with some direct smack talk about the guy that gave him a good deal. Theres plenty of other forums for that crap. My internet etiquette leaves something to be desired..but im on good behavior here because its a nice community and thats a rare thing. Hope it stays this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 The dig on Powerman was not warranted in the least, and this donkey used him to get a god deal and then tried to throw him under the bus for being a fucking price gouger, good fucking riddance, I was nice in my initial post, but it brewed… and this is where I stand as a member of the forum, sans moderator status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'll make no apologies to the OP for what I stated here, above, but I'll also add this: I was going to send you a PM over your for sale thread, about your actions here, and it was going to be much, much more than I stated in this thread.Nobody here is in the least way responsible for what you decided to do on your own, which is driven by greed. It's quite apparent that you bought the RRA carrier with no other intentions but to flip it for a profit. You are 100% responsible for this whole affair. You earned it. Go enjoy it.

6132expert Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 What a Dbag, I knew when I seen the subject I smelt vinager. Buddy you need to go on somewhere else and gouge this is not the place now , nor will it ever be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've calmed down enough now to where I think it would be fun to break down the OP. All ya'll feel free to do your own version if you like.Let's start with his thread title: "Matt Cross Please unlock my post"Can't do that Mr. tlcoy1911, because I don't want to, and I don't want to because you're publicly posting suggestions as to how I should do my job, and that makes me unhappy.I respectfully request that you unlock my post in the for sale area. Hey genius, respectful would be along the lines of a PM with this request, not a damn billboard demanding it.Just because powerman couldn't put his crack pipe down(got'er done post) long enought to know he sold me this RRA 308 bolt carrier at 1/2 the price of the current market value, does not give anyone the right to say that I am price gouging. Agreed. My right to call you out for price gouging comes from the First Amendment, which protects free speech.(If someone posted that they wanted to buy a RRA 308 carrier, and I replied that I had the only one in the world left and if they ever wanted to put their rifle to gather they would have to buy mine, and I want more than current market value) that would be gouging. Also agreed, that WOULD be gouging. When you post an item that you can get from the manufacturer themselves for 2/3rds of your posted price, at nearly 3 times the purchased price, it's not FAIR MARKET VALUE. It's STUPID, especially when you consider that you TRIED TO SELL IT IN THE SAME COMMUNITY WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT. Can you buy an AR for $700? thats what they were 2 months ago, but you can't buy one now for that.When you fill up with gas, does the station charge you what they paid 2weeks ago for gas? NO, they charge what the current market value is... We've already established that you're not charging fair market value. I saw a DPMS 308 BCG sell for $910 3 weeks ago, did the seller price gouge this? Yes.NO, someone paid this much by his own free will. Someone has more money than brain cells,not quite what I'm looking to model myself after.We all know that my RRA carrier is priced at current market value, in 2 months from now if the value of parts change, so will the price of my carrie to match the rest of the parts.Maybe if you imply this enough, someone will believe you, but I don't.This part is offered for sale and no one is forced to buy it from me, but if this is the only part someone needs to complete there rifle, they may be happy to pay this price so they can finally finish there build before the BIG BAN.I might win the lottery despite the fact that I don't buy tickets, but I think we have equal chances on that front.So if the only rule I broke is that I didn't include a pic, unlock my post and I'll get a pic upOh no, you also broke the rules concerning public personal attacks on forum members, that got you moved from edgecrusher's 2 week ban, to a permanent ban. Nice going. Good luck selling anything else under your current username. Anyone who is smart enough to google your username, will get to see this thread. Have a nice life.

Rsquared Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 You know, screw these guys that wanna jump on the bandwagon and just drill people. It takes balls to buy something from a forum member, just to try and sell it to another.....and then get pissed off when he's called on it. These are the kinda guys that ruin every other forum that we've all seen. The kinda guys that ruin everything. The kinda guys that really PISS ME OFF. THIS is why I say that people (in general) SUCK!I like to think, that's why us "enlightened" guys have migrated here. To distance ourselves from the douche-bags that infiltrate our lives everywhere else.Sorry guys.......another "mini" soapbox moment. My patience is starting to wear a little thin these days.Eeeehhhhh.........Fcuk EM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
