Vegas, I can afford it, does that mean I'm free to give him a hard time?

Sometimes I just don't understand where the heck you're comming from. Who, exactly, are you looking down your nose at?

IMO, which I admit accounts for very little, I veiw the expressed concerns as valid. The OP is brand new, offering obviously damaged goods - how damaged, who really knows - with no guarantee or warranty. Would you be willing to vouch for this individual? Sending $2K to someone for a "pig in a poke" so-to-speak, is a leap of faith I am not willing to take. If he were a regular, or known to someone who is and has established his credibility, that may be another story. I'm not saying this is an attempted scam, but it's not a risk I would be willing to assume. That is obviously the opinion of some others also that are not as trusting as you, Vegas, obviously would be. If it's legit, then I wish him luck with the sale, but it would be better to do so locally, face-to-face where any issues can be resolved in the same manner.

He's still mad because I called him out on posting fake, super-short sales for expensive items he had no intention of selling, so he could show them off.

I think he's donated the same boat to about eleven different college bass fishing teams.

The funny thing is...I most certainly can afford it.

Easy Bruce, he probably want to buy your Triton and other fishing stuff you may have for sale in the near future and donate it to some college fishing team that doesn't exist!!!

Well, you were definitely smart enough to catch some Smallies at Dale!

I was not.

Default I agree with you 100%

I am not looking down my nose at anybody. Besides my nose is too big and my eyes are too bad to see that far... I am just trying to make a point, be direct with someone and say what your fears are about buying it. Throwing the guy under the bus because maybe just maybe someone got ripped off years ago etc. This guys seems straight up and to accuse him of trying to take advantage of someone is just not the way you welcome someone. Some people like to buy items this way and others don’t, so why rip up his posting. That is why I am quick on items like that. You may or may not have noticed I don’t frequent this site on a daily basis and sometimes it is a month or two in between visits, and it is always the same ole people saying the same old self appointed things about every little thing. Not all post need to be analyzed to death for peat sakes. You might be right maybe I will just let everyone keep running everyone off and this site will stay the same small site it has always been. You do not see this stuff on a regular basis on the bigger sites.

I'm going to say a couple of things, then I'm done with this thread and you.
If all you see is the "same ole people saying the same old self appointed things," then you've got blinders on. There's a ton of great people on here. I could name probably a dozen people off the top of my head that if they needed me to, I would drop everything and drive straight to their house ASAP, distance not withstanding. And I can name almost as many that I believe would do the same for me. I know a lot of people on here by their first names, I have their cell phone numbers, addresses, I've fished out of their boats, shared cabins with them, seen pictures of their kids, sent my condolences when they've had losses in the family, and congratulations when they've had good news. So if all you see is the bad stuff, I think the problem is you, not the rest of the site.
Most of what I see from you is contempt and arrogance.
"Only the ones that cannot afford it or have no intention or interest in buying it will give you a hard time."
Wrong....those who are concerned for others will give you a hard time. But according to you, we're all jerks and are trying to run off somebody. I see the posts leading up to this, especially NoFear's and BoogieMan's, as saying, "Hey, here's something else to consider that you might not have thought of, so anyone thinking about buying this might need to check this out first."
You see them as saying, "Hey, this guy is trying to defraud everybody on this site, and needs to be tarred, feathered, and run out of here on a rail." That's the way you see those posts, but no one else does.
I agree about the new guy here....he does seem to be honest and aboveboard, especially after checking back on here a couple of times and addressing the concerns that have been expressed about it. But I appreciate the fact that NoFear and others cared enough about other people on here to speak up and clarify things.
Also, there are no moderators, because this site pretty much moderates itself. When someone gets out of line with the way this board operates, the members correct that person.
In case that wasn't obvious enough, this is me doing exactly that.

I never had a high option of you, then when you posted that completely inappropriate picture of a dead parrot and a frying pan on another thread a while back, my opinion of you dropped off the face of the earth. Guess what? It's even lower now, and I wasn't sure that was possible. I don't care how many donations you say you made, or what else you've done that I have no knowledge of. You are a small, hateful person, and I believe that it would be better for you and all of us if you would just leave.

Very well said, I agree completely and feel the same way.

Vegas, you admittedly aren't here very often, sometimes months between visits and yet nearly every time there is drama here, you are involved. The common denominator is YOU. I know you are too arrogant to realize that but you are the problem. You don't have anything useful to offer, fishing wise and never have. You aren't here often enough to post your opinions on the "politics" of this site, yet you continue to do so. Who do you think you are?

Go away and don't come back. No one wants you here and you obviously don't want to be here. Take your ego and pollute one of the "big" sites that you seem to like so much. We are through with you and your high opinion of yourself. Go away and don't come back.
