The amount of stuff you sell on here at no cost to yourself, a donation to group funds would be appreciated ..

Well to be honest I'm selling most bits at very reasonable prices so this Buellcommunity keeps rolling at a much cheaper rate than the 'official' channels....

In that sense I think I am doing my share to be honest...I have to work hard for a living, I have four kids, three dogs, a wife and a cat (easy to be mistaken for another) to feed and selling these bits fund my project so....

Some of us work very hard ... for free to keep this place alive, some people give regular donations, without which we would not survive .... none of this has been done so you can take advantage continuously sell your items without so much as a thanks.

Dont be surprised to find future adverts pulled if they are considered to be taking the piss,

So .......

I couldn't give a toss, I have to find £130 a MONTH to run this place and find enough hours a week inbetween real life family and work to keep the forum running, backups, updates, scripting, emails, user issues, admin PM's .... all for free ... not so the likes of you can tear the arse out of it. Your attempt and justification falls on deaf ears, after checking my pockets, it appears I am fresh out of give a fuck.

Taking the piss?

Fresh out of giving a fuck?

:Dummy:

Is it that time of the month again? :!:

I fail to see what you are on about but I can tell you I do not care for your tone.
I do not appreciate being spoken to in such a manner face to face, nor from behind a keyboard.

I am selling parts of a project bike that I paid for and stripped after doing so.
Quite a few people on here seemed to be pleased with the parts I was offering so in that sense I contributed to the site.
I was under the impression that advertising on here was for free and donating was optional, guess I was wrong as it seems you are threatening to pull my adverts if I refuse to pay up?

:tosser:

Well by all means: feel free to pull my adverts and and whilst you're at it please do the same for my membership because I really do not want to be a part of a 'community' where your tone of voice to another user to get money from his pockets is deemed acceptable.
I'd remove my adds myself if only I could edit my previous post, however since I can't I guess I'll have to trouble you for some more of your valuable time Ash although I guess you won't mind.

I replied politely to your post, explaining my point of vieuw and in return I get a rather rude and verbally aggresive answer wich I do not care for nor deserve.

As for my pricing: quite a few people on here bought from me rather than someone else. Must be doing something right then eh?

:dance:

Suggesting you, well no .. not just you actually ... those who abuse the right of free advertising put a little something back in sometime.

They are the going rate everywhere else for 2nd hand parts, as mentioned by other members. Please dont think your doing anyone a particular favour. Your parts on here would sell for the same on Ebay, difference is, you dont have to pay to advertise them on here.

Its not just you though Steph, we get all sorts on here that just join, make a few posts then start selling all sorts because it doesn't cost them anything to do it and abuse what is a focused group, make a bit of cash then bugger off again without even so much of a thanks.

This place is not free, it costs real people, real time and very real money and a lot of it too.

I'M ALL OUT AS WELL!!!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

But I'll tell you what, since I'm doing anyone a favour by selling them bits (wich makes you wonder, why do they buy them in the first place? They'd be better off paying you to keep this site up and running it seems!) I won't sell anything on here anymore :clap:

Nutah: still no way to talk to a fellow user now is it?

Especially not when you want something of that user (a contribution in this case).

If someone feels the need to take frustrations out on people that don't deserve it, well there's domestic violence for that isn't there? :roll:

But no worries: I've already turned down a user for parts just then and I won't sell anything on here anymore so there. :4roz:

i think Ash is trying to make a point , yes we don't demand a payment
it is after all a voluntary thing
but be honest with yourself
if you (or anyone to be fair) sold stuff via E-Bay it would cost

we are providing a captive audience , for the Buell seller for free
