Just wondering why!

I see inflation and big companies trying to make up for the artificial COVID19 economy; sure there is a drive for higher profits, but if you think 'Corporate Greed' are driving prices up more than inflation, well then…

People wank about rental prices being so high. Well of course owners are going to raise the prices as high as possible, with demand high and supply low - plus nearly 24 months of people being able to live in your property and not pay rent, all while blowing their C19 funds on boats, cars, and drugs.


Just a byproduct of printing money and giving it away - it becomes less valuable.

But back OT, I don't see there anyway for any price on a custom knife being 'gouging', as it's not remotely a necessity for anyone except the 'knife dudes'.

There is no quarrel here , we are all just dudes staring at a screen just typing our thoughts lol

I know, but it's really the only forum that does it - so maybe it's the the water. I just put my price and evaluate trades on a case by case. Sellers are able to put any constraints on they wish, buyers are able to pick and choose.

I agree. I can see a “buyer” or “responder” suggesting what their trade is worth for the sellers consideration but as a seller/trader the “trade value” of what I’m trading isn’t relevant at all. The only thing that matters is how much do I like what you have and how much do you like what I have and are we both happy with it.

Ive taken trades for things I didn’t really care for because I was on the top side of the deal or because what I had is a niche and hard to unload. Can always trade what I traded for later lol.

I’ve also done trades where I was on the bottom because I really wanted something and didn’t have cash but had a trade. It goes both ways. Part of the fun of the hobby, the “hunt” if you will.

I just posted a message with a serious question about a price for an item for sale here on the forum, and apparently it was deleted. Been here for a little while and have never had that happen.

Next time , either send a PM , or call , since almost everyone can't function with out their "dingle berry's " or Maxi pads" ie,cell ph's.

Same here brother; I can come across confrontational but I just like to question peoples reasoning to see what they are getting at; esp when it might differ from my own line of thought.
