I just got some LBM from Prather .562 Solid Rod and it is very nice for only $14.75 foot. Me thinks yours is overpriced. JMO

I was thinking the same thing. Those kind of comments are not tollerated in the wanted/for sale section for reasons obvious to most. If you were able to sell the whole lot in one transaction that quickly, it may have actually been under priced . . .

I'd also like to think that there is an element of 'looking out for one another'. Mason is free to sell his mtrl. for whatever he wants but he also opens the door for question & comment. It's pretty common knowledge that others have it for less. Maybe the differing element is the quality, I don't know. I don't have samples of both to examine but certainly a man has a right to his opinion. Frankly, all things being equal, I'd have to agree with Arnot.
 
KJ,
I have to respectfully disagree. There needs to be some rules of etiquette, if not a respect for others. When a person is trying to make a sale and clearly marks his post as such, it is very poor form to knock his sale. Whether his product is good, his price is fair, his shipping is fast, etc are all relative and subjective. Arnot could have PM'd Mason if his intention was simply to inform Mason of a pricing discrepancy, so I feel that there was a less honorable intent behind posting that information the way that he did, and for all to see. Unfortunately I think this is just another example of the constant lack of respect for each other that seems to run rampant in this section of the forum, and I wish it would stop. Yes, this is a "discussion forum," but come on . . . We're all supposed to be adults here, and know what is right and wrong. I understand what you're saying about "looking out for one another," but we're all big boys, and generally have access to the same product information.

Would it be ok if Mason and Arnot had booths at the same event and Arnot stood in front of Mason's booth telling his customers that all of his cues are over-priced? After all, people are free to discuss things among one another . . . No, that's clearly not ok.

I sure hope that this does not start yet another fire-storm here, but some times you have to speak up for what you think is right. I hope you understand.

not sure how anyone could condone or agree with the comments Arnot made.
or pass it off as "looking out for one another."am i trying to get over on someone selling a product that is becoming more rare everyday by selling it for $5 more a foot than a huge supplier?doubt it.


i posted it for sale for approx $20/ft if you buy 3 feet after the free shipping.ibought this for somebody else and got stuck with it.i am trying to sell it off at basically what i paid for it.i feel better product than the other stores have b/c i have seen them and used them and they are very porous.


i appreciate the support here and the Pm's,and i too hope this doesn't turn into a debacle.
 
If the sale doesn't go through, I'll take 9 feet.

I have some LBM for sale. I paid $14.75 per foot from Prather. It hurts me to do this but I will sell up to 300 feet of this LBM for only $24.00 per foot. I will pay the shipping anywhere within CONUS.

If you need more than 300 feet I will sell it for only $22.00 per foot.

Respectfully,

Hey, Mason is a great guy/seller. He knows quality stuff.

For Example: I can get a piece of amboyna burl from so and so for $65 a piece but never know what the quality will be. OR I can spend $110 and am getting a steller piece from this outfit for sure. Same thing. If Mason says it's better, I have to believe it's better. Not sure, but I hope I'm not the guy who stuck him with the LBM?

If I didn't have 35+ feet right now, I'd take the whole lot.

P.s. Mason I will take some of the "new" micarta when it come's in.

You sir, need to know when to stop.

I certainly do agree to a level of etiquette and consideration for others, particularly on this great forum. How we conduct ourselves is indicative as to who we are. I may not have taken the leap to make the statement that Arnot did but I would defend his right to do so. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and their right to express it. It's a personal choice, first, to make a statement, second, to determine the content of that statement. Finally, to be responsible for the statements that we make.

Mason has made the statement that this mtrl. is getting rare and harder to find. That's simply not true. I don't know, maybe HIS particular LBM is getting scarce but LBM was re-introduced a month ago and is plentiful. A quick internet search would prove this.

Mason interpreted my statement of "looking out for one another" to mean that I was implying he was trying to get over on someone. That was not my intent and I can see how he could interpret it that way. We are a community with shared interests and as such, tend to look after each other, like brothers and sisters in a family sense. Mason's investment may be such that he HAS to ask what he is for his LBM. No one likes to lose money......on either side of the sale.

This additional element (the side discussion) to Mason's thread doesn't seem to have hurt him. His mtrl. will sell and his thread will have been a success. No harm done and those that felt the need to express an opinion will have had their say. So, with Mason's permission, this may be a good place to continue the discussion of 'forum etiquette' as it applies to items for sale.

I'm somewhat new to the forum culture. This is the first forum that I've chosen to become involved with and I've been here just 18 mos. A mere newbie to some. If there are lessons yet to be learned, I have my paper & pencil at the ready.

Mason,
If you're going to quote my statements, please don't take them out of context.

Why doesn't everyone just drop it, let Mason sell his material, and move on. If you want to debate prices on a specific material, start your own thread and compare sources vs quality.

The market will decide whether or not he is too high on his price. People are interested in buying some, myself included, so just let it go.


<~~~tired of intraforum bickering.
 
It seems that nearly everything is defendable under statements like "Everyone is entitled to their opinion and their right to express it." Yet most reasonable people have boundaries that they won't cross out of respect to one another.

This is a public forum, and there are very, very few rules. Here are a couple that most people tend to adhere to:

1) Avoid posting disparaging remarks in a for sale thread. If you don't like the product or the terms just move on. If you want to make such remarks to the seller, do so using a PM. The seller is trying to make a sale, and in many cases here, his personal household income can be adversely affected by uninformed comments made by others who didn't listen to their Mother when she said "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

2) Don't hijack someone's thread. Relative to a For Sale thread, this means don't chime in and say "Yeah, I've got one of those for sale too." If you have something that you'd like to sell, start your own thread. Relative to open discussion threads, this means taking the discussion in a direction not consistent with the intent of the thread.

Aside from that, I think we should all hold ourselves accountable for what we say. It's easy to get carried away typing our thoughts on the keyboard while staring at a screen. Ask yourself if you would choose to say that out loud in front of others if you were face-to-face. It's also easy to misinterpret what a person has written if they haven't thought it out properly, or written it up clearly. Most people can be given the benefit of the doubt, but you quickly see a pattern with others who's typing fingers tend to move more quickly than their brains.

Respectfully,
Mr H <--- No better than anyone else, and still learning every day.
