\"Surefire samples\" post on BST.Agree or disagree?
Edit 1:23 PST
I see a lot af views already. Please take a moment to post your feelings on my rant. This is just like voting, doing something is the only way to make yourself heard. If you have adifferent point of view, I'm a big boy and can take constructive criticism if you feel you can present a different point of view. Of course, those who agree are also encouraged to post as well. Perhaps we can have a new BST section for dealers if nothing else.
JUST POST, DANG IT!
I went on a mini rant regarding the way the sale was handled but you can read for yourself by pulling up the thread.
I somehow felt obligated to stand up for the "little guy" here on CPF and asked for certain items be listed single instead of a "package deal" that a lot of us can't afford but could buy a "One of". My gripe is this: After seeing countless "package deals" here on CPF and then hours or days later see the same items selling individually at higher prices. That's great for those who buy and sell a lot on here but not so great for the little guy. I wish we had less "middlemen" or had a seperate BST for dealers or package deals. I just asked them to consider offering single items and when I got attitude I frittered!
I completely understand how business is done as I have owned four in my lifetime. I also have been employed in positions that required very close contact and relations with customers so I KNOW what customer service is! This ain't it, folks!
Some will agree with me and some will not, that doesn't bother me. That is just the nature of people in general If no one disagreed, how would the world function? It's all in how you are treated! I was angered by the way I was spoken to and by the fact that countycomm saw nothing wrong with the buyer (not seller) not posting on the forum. I was under the impression from reading the rules that the moderators were asking for us to post an obligatory "I'll take it" as a courtesy to other CPF'rs. There seems to still be a lot of confusion or something over proper forum etiquette, and then there are a few that feel this doesn't apply to them.
Please don't skip the part about them feeling privacy was a big concern for their customers!
OK, it's out of my system now!
