compuwiz1 Bitch Bitch Bitch. Man I remember when U first came 2 AGN and went ALL about not being reseller and what not. I rmeember U saying something along the lines of U were Only doing this cause You were trying to make a Little extra $$ when you couldnt work or got hurt or something along those lines. I then consaquently remember getting banned from another Fourm the same Day we had a Huge argument about it. Hmm wonder if I will get Magicaly banned from another fourm again.

I fully support this move and think it's a good idea even though I am going to miss some of the good deals some guys posted. I do have a sugestion though since I am sure there are others that feel the way I do, we don't want the board covered up by dealers but would like to get a break on prices at times so how about a seperate forum catagory for them to post their wares? Just a sugestion.

That's a good idea tea. Someone mentioned that to me before, having a seperate forum for them only. Charging them something to post their sales ads. Let's see, $100 per week from each one, say around 9-15 dealers. hmm, Hawaii hear I come! :lol

Seriously that might be something to consider. I really do like Hawaii. hehe
Really though it might be an idea, we're open to ideas and suggestions about that.

Blade, but then how can you prevent a double bogey of what's happening again with regards to the price wars we're constantly seeing. Dealers may be slashing at each other's throat all over again (which may be fun to see and beneficial to us consumers

) but that specific problem will still exist sooner or later, would it not?

A dealers' forum? hmmm....can we really have the best of both worlds here?

The typical items that dealers sell will mean that most of us cannot sell the same items (ie - ram, cpu, video card) without taking a bigger than necessary hit. We have to match or we're out. Now how's that to be in the best interest of the traders here (not dealers, traders)? You get where I'm going with this??

Maybe a paid subscription to the dealers forum and a percentage from the dealers.

Wait, so if you can get some stuff for cheap once in a while, then you can sell? I mean I am not selling Radeons to put me through college, I just thought the price I got them for was good and figured others wanted Radeons, so I posted the price for the others here.

I am not really trying to complain here, just that if some exceptions can be made, then I think it would be hard to regulate.

some how I dont think that would fly but it is worth a shot. when are the Other fourms gana follow suite?
Hawk...the way I understand it is if U dont ahve the Same thing and ALWAYS have it the U are More then willing to hook people up on deals. U have to have it IN hand. Not the Constant suply train like some were doing on cpu's. I also think it is important to mention that certain people are Given more leway as they have stuff to sell Often but it is alwyas different and they add stuff to the fourm then jsut there spam FS thred. I might be wrong but tis is how I take it so far.

Greg, chill. It is apparently you who holds the grudge here. I did not address you.

Possible addition to the rule for being a dealer:

More than 90% of your transactions are selling stuff, and you do a high volume of deals.

Hay compuwiz1 last I checked it was a free country and now that Clinton is gone I am not worried about loosing my Free speech right. I was just stating my Feelings, what I remembered, and fact. So if U are having a Prob because U brought this ALL upon your self the only person U should be bitching at is the your self in the Mirror. I also seem 2 Recall U were gana get a Website up and going and were NO longer gana post these sorts of threds on the fourms. Now are U mad at me cause I remembered U saying these things or U jsut mad yourself for saying them? I know U are Probably mad cause U brought this ALL upon your self with your selfish actions and cutthroate taticts. WELL I have a big fat BOO YA 2 say. Oh and for once red and I agree. hehehe

Coldfusion...that is another good way 2 explain it.

Greg, I hardly ever posted here, and could really give a rats ass, frankly.
I didn't bring anything on me. And I did not post a thread and lie, with the words "I am not a dealer" in my thread. Wasn't you, but you could figure out who it is.

My cut throat tactics? You'd better have something to back that up with chump. I think bonkers was the one doing all the cut throat bubba.

I think it's a good move.

Yea U did at agn, you would always lower your prices any and every time some one would have what U were selling at a lower price.

I jsut figgured Im used 2 getting it goign with U so why not keep it up. Might as well do what I am good at. but Everythign I posted is true 2 my recolication and I usually remember this pointless stuff pritty damn well.
