Understood, so based on what you said, do you think just because members don't have the money to spend on clay disks that its appropriate for them to unwelcome new members or change by their useless responses. Wouldn't that be a disservice to the community's. Would that suggest that maybe its time for them to retire? Based on your response in my opinion I don't think that is a good representation of this community and confirms what I thought.
understood but I could be wrong but in my opinion i feel like the "tight-knight group" gangs up on the newbies, especially when things may appear to be "over market" as you suggested. The forum will not be sustainable unless the old-timers that appear to have market understanding accept and embrace new members. This should be a free market and act as one. Not try to belittle someone because the feel a little "annoyed" thats childish. They will either have to adapt or retire!
I'm not exactly sure as to what you're referring to specifically, but "thread crapping" by questioning the price of someone's listing is against TOS here. Some people have bugs up their asses and/or yell at clouds. No one's going to change that. Roll with it or put them on ignore and go about your day
yeah but the same "new member" you refer me as is also the same member that purchased your 700 WTHC set. I don't think it is wise to push buyers and sellers away just because were new and prices are high. My price will only go higher...
Yeah…again is it fair? Probably not.
Gotcha thanks for confirming my thoughts!
Oh boy, sandwiches!
This only works if there's a lot of demand at your current price.
I’m saying my price goes higher for those who talk shit. Prices stay the same if not lower for those who show respect
I think you are confusing two different things. Someone getting pushback for listing chips at some perceived "over market" price would happen whether they are a newbie or not. I don't think being new has anything to do with it.
There’s more to finding mints than just flying cross country. I already squared that up with an old timer here who lives in Florida. He proposed he would sell me hard rock Hollywood $2 mint chips for $400-500/rack because he lived nearby. I agreed that I would buy every single one, of course he’s MIA.
Only a “old-timer” would know what “over-market” is. As far as I’m concerned as it relates to $0.25 fracs I am the market.
I'm not here to argue with you. You asked for opinions and I gave one. Re-read the opening sentence of your first post here. I don't think this community is even a little bit "uninviting to new members..." Any feelings of being uninvited are due to actions, not being new.
What is the "change" you are wanting to initiate at PCF?
who said I wanted to change anything? I’m just here to help the community find chips they couldn’t otherwise
I see people offering assistance with the price someone has set, I don't think its uninviting to educate someone with hard truths.
It'll work itself out.
Thread crapping isn’t assistance. It provides the seller or the buying market zero value.I see people offering assistance with the price someone has set, I don't think its uninviting to educate someone with hard truths.
I try to ensure new members are greeted and offer as much as I think they can digest. If someone posts and are out of line, the community helping them with it or letting them know can often seem rude, often times its not, sometimes it is.
I don't think the old timers need to change, they can live in the past and or perhaps new members will get on board ... or they won't
If you feel that a community protecting those that don't know any better from overpaying is crapping, that's fine. I see it as being helpful.
You mention in your OP that it seems like PCF community is uninviting to new members and/or change. It's your first sentence of your OP.
