If they’re live I’ll be successful. If I’m not successful, they weren’t live chips.
Here’s a deductive reasoning test. Two trains are hurtling toward each other on the same track. The westbound train is traveling at 58mph. The eastbound train is traveling at 37mph. If the trains are 21 miles apart, and nothing can cause the trains to slow down, stop, or speed up, how long will it be before the trains collide, and why does most of the community secretly hope you’re on either of them?
That’s not meant to be insulting. I’m just throwing a curveball in there to test your deductive capabilities. Nobody hopes you’re traveling westbound.

No, but I'll be visiting there next week, assuming the overly large boat I am on doesn't capsize after it leaves New Brunswick on Nov 5.
I am no stranger to overripe bananas. Just ask anyone I work with.

This is a man to be reckoned with and should be given a wide berth to operate with impunity.

We were on an island off Florida at the time.That's a long way from Arizona, are you sure there aren't some substances in your margaritas?
There is a good Wikipedia article on commercial airliners that you should check out. They offer one the ability to travel, in the air, great distances in an expedited manner.

Did you really start a thread on chip sales where prices are being secretly manipulated against you by long time members because someone offered you $1400 for 2 racks that you priced at $1500?

looks like the educated PCF community isn't so educated.

I figured out your budget problem. If you stop throwing your Galaxy Fold away every month (hint: you can unfold them), you'll be able to buy a rack or two of Detroit fracs from the people who are just trying to help the community that they love.

Disclaimer: I don't really recall what the TOS is on this site.
I really don't care about the content of this guy's argument(?) I subscribe to the notion that one grows up believing that offending others is somehow beneficial to themselves when they have been offended a lot themselves. It also feels like English is not this guy's first language. Let's remember that not everyone has led the same lives as us, and that those who would critique OP are likely in a better place than he is.)
With that out of the way, I really think that in dealing with the unreasonable that we must treat them like neural networks based on the incentive structure we believe them to adhere to. In other words, comment on his posts when he overprices something. Don't buy from him when he underprices something. Give him the feedback he needs to stop being a dick. But also, don't give this post traction. Not because you don't want to feed the trolls (messaging here doesn't really benefit OP in any way,) but because its a waste of your time and probably raises your anxiety levels. Posting on here doesn't disincentivize him from continuing his behavior, so its basically useless. (Obviously, this current post does have some possibility of indirectly disincentivizing such activity by spurring others to disincentivize his activity.)
We have a duty as a community to uphold the ideals of this community; to say something when we see something. That doesn't mean being closed off to change, but I'm sure the proliferation of this sort of character is not what we want to see. He plays by the rules of capitalism, so it's only logical that we monetarily incentivize him to be a good person. I don't think there's anything wrong with seeing the world transactionally, as long as you commit good deeds and are nice to people (regardless of whether you see such actions as transactional.)
Don't reply to this post. It's far too -ev for me to get into any sort of discussion on this thread. Just food for thought.
P.S. I'd like to think I'm somewhat decent at ranging people IRL based on their psychological profile. I'll briefly include that whatever algorithm runs in my mind has found this character to be a scammer of some sort (and I don't mean in the sense that he overpriced some chips or something; I'm making a stronger claim that he's a little "worse" than that.)

Back to the original post:
It's really simple, the community isn't uninviting to new members. But is harsh on people that try and squeeze the most out of other members. This is a community first and a place to buy/sell/trade second.
You came here trying to squeeze every dollar out of some chips to make money, not as a sharing member of the community. You treated the community like eBay and then are upset when people treated you as such.
PCF hasn't changed, it's always treated people like you like this, but most chip sellers on eBay don't whine like a little bitch when they catch shit for it. You weren't looking for friendship and a community, you were looking for dollars, just don't whine about not being liked for it.
I'm done with this thread, so I'm done responding, anymore.
