we are all flippers, remember the piece you sold because you wanted to upgrade? Flipper! you know you are. Ever notice once people find out you have ever flipped a few pieces, they wont give you any kind of decent price on anything because they think anyone who "flips" doesn't care about audio?
Here is the problem I have:
I believe you should offer someone a fair price. 1/3rd of what you can flip it for if thats you're goal. I get mad on forums in other places when people PUPOSEFULLY rub something they got a deal on in someones face, you know who you are, and not all those who "flip" do this.
Sure business and capialism is all part of america, you do have a right to a profit, but if you get a piece of audio equipment from someone for $20 bucks and you know it's worth $300-500 you are taking advantage of that person 95% of the time and it is WRONG. nobody who knows what they have lets stuff go for that little amount of money. did you buy something from someone for $100 and knew the whole time you could sell it for 3k all day long?
Twice on two other forums I have witnessed people BRAG about how little thay paid someone for something and BRAG about how much they are gonna make off of it. They get most of this stuff from people who know nothing of what the stuff will actually sell for, or people in horrible circumstances and have no choice.
let me tell you something I know for a fact, because I live this everyday:
you think you get some cool scores off those unknowing people? you outta see what people offer you to sell when you show them youre fair. the only thing better than that cool find off of someone that doesnt know what they have is when people who do know what they have start bringing you stuff, sure none of it cost me $10 or $20 bucks, but its much better. Word travels fast when people know you will be fair with them.
I am not against people making money or even buying gear to re sell it. there is a difference between making a profit and bending someone over, and you know I'm right, just because you can get away with it doesnt make it right.
