Yes, but do you?
Do you understand what I am saying?
I do not see how that is possible. The only 2 people that could have possibly knew about the deal was me and the seller. I did not mention the sellers name (or ID), or any details about the item in question, or the price, so how is that possible?
Every time I go to the wanted / for sale section, I see very few people viewing the WTB section, and a lot of people viewing the for sale section (for example, at this time I see 5 people viewing the WTB section, and 57 people viewing the for sale section).
Does this mean that very few people are interested in what others are looking to buy, or why such a low interest in looking at what others are wanting to buy?
I imagine that there should be a lot more interest in looking at that section of the forum, because I know that a lot of people have extra cues that they might be looking to sale (cues that people might be posting about in the WTB section).
So, I just do not understand why at any time of day, I see very few people currently viewing the WTB section.
Thanks for any thoughts about this.
It should be titled WYG Section, Want You to Give section. I've responded to several of the threads and it never fails that the OP is always looking for a 1k item for $100. Brian.
You've demonstrated that you're constantly on-the-make, and I'm not really into the "pity" angle, and this thread is obviously another pragmatic attempt at whining, so, I'll be blunt:
They're probably trying to avoid the panhandler, like they would in the subway or walking down a city street.
If you're going to try to be a hustler, copy deanoc, not the guys shaking pennies in empty coffee cups outside of 7-11.
You fail to understand that the guys responding to your silly ads are mostly established individuals who view the forums as a community and are trying to help a member of their community who needs help... They're most likely not guys who are taking a loss selling you a shaft at $35 so they can buy popcorn at a movie they're saving-up to see.
The first rule of being indigent is 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you.'
But, it's nice to imagine... Imagine how wide a net you could cast if every member visited the "Wanted" section on a regular basis... Fish in a barrel.
You will probably not believe me, but I have never looked for, or expected a hand out from anyone. The fact that I recently purchased an old converted Helmstetter for $300 (that turned out to have a warped butt, and then did not file a paypal complain) shows that.
I understand that most of the stuff on here is high end stuff that I could never afford, and most of the stuff that is in my price range, I feel is over priced. I am just picky (that is all). It is very hard to find anything that I can afford, that I really love the looks of.
Your way of thinking is so aloof I don't think any of us can keep up.
Agree on the hustler angle and think everything being bought is just going to be resold for a profit. There are people on here who could really use help and would LOVE to get a great cue for a deep discount.......and would appreciate the generosity of other members and keep the cue for years instead of complaining to get more money off the (already low) price.You've demonstrated that you're constantly on-the-make, and I'm not really into the "pity" angle, and this thread is obviously another pragmatic attempt at whining, so, I'll be blunt:

I would much rather have my old Ron Haley shaft back.

I thought you weren't sure if it was a Haley shaft? You didn't know 100%, right?
Well, I think that most would agree that I did over pay for my last cue. It should have been straight, and it turned out to have pretty noticeable warp in the forearm. Maybe it was just karma coming to me, and I deserved it (to be stuck with a cue that I can't sell).
I wonder why this thread sucks??? Oh wait, pretty sure I know. lol
I know why it sucks. Because it is a waste of space, and completely pointless (only good for some free laughs).
You say here it has a noticeable warp. In your thread to trade the cue (assuming you are talking about the one you have up for trade currently) you say "There is a very slight roll out in the butt".
Am I understanding all this correctly?
Justin, they set you up and you walk into it every time???
