Hmmmmm....
Well, I have a pretty good sense of humor on most all matters. I can laugh at things about myself, as well as laugh at others.
But I always keep my "joking" in GD if anyone hasn't noticed. The other forums are a resource to me for info, and they need to be respected that way.
Messing with the Equiptment Exchange??
Man....
That is DEFINITLEY out of line.
Sure the occasionial PAUL308 happens...
But it never ceases to amaze me how I can send my $$$ to a member I have never met on blind faith, with absolutley no recourse should they choose to rip me off,
and never fail, I get a package, containing exactly what I paid for.
That is no place to "joke".
Such nonsense sullys the name of guys who [i]really do[/i] have good deals available.
Ronin comes to mind.
$15.00 Thermolds.
Damn. I know guys who regularly pay $25.00 a pop at gun shows, and i've seen shops sell them for $30.00 AND GET IT!!
I think that the exchange has evolved into a beast that really needs some accountibillity.
Wilson trys to keep up with his "Good Guys" list, but it gets too long to read.
I think a seprate forum in the Equiptment Exchange dedicated to posting User feedback is needed. (Assuming an automated feedback program engine isn't available)
It would be pretty easy.
Whenever you complete a deal with an AR15.com'er, just go to the feedback forum, and check for a thread containing feedback on that person.
Post yours in the thread.
If there isn't a thread dedicated to them, start one, and others can post thier feedback on that person in the future.
That way, before any of us buy, we can see if the person has any sucessful transactions before we send off our hard earned $$$.
My .02, and it's a pretty good idea if you ask me [:)]
