ok lets talk about high prices for a minute
since we are also bringing up looking out for each other

so i should not give someone grief for over prcing their stuff- especially when they sell used for more then new, that should not effect their rep, but at the same time i should look out for my fellow vapers?

that is the whole reaosn i give people grief about their high prices, becuase im looking out for people.
not cuz i am cheap - but yes i am cheap

when i see peple constantly asking higher prices then new or about the same as new for a USED piece of vape gear that you cant return,cant send back if its broke, may not be able to get warraty on it cuz you bought it used....then I want to stop them, I wantto call them out on it, i dont want soemone being taken for their hard earned money. if "He" wante dto buy something used on here and it was being sold for a price highe rthen what you could buy new...i would tell "HIM" too even though my deal with him and what others have posted about deals with him have left a sour taste in my mouth.

maybe i go about it all worng, maybe my tine when i type comes across wrong. thats entirely possible. Huck I think for the most part we are all on the same side of things. we all may not always agree on everything all the time. im sorry you are in a mood about what I said. maybe i shouldnt have said it. but I did. i am not trying to be a jackass, but things are what they are at times.

people over price stuff on here, im not the only one who sees it. some people on here smell fishy at times, and they may be great people and just doing silly things.

but there are so many other situations on here just like this one. SV,CC, several chinese vendors have had their asses handed to them by mods for simple mistakes,fanboy threads gone bad.members trashing each other,members trashing venodrs for simple misunderstandings on mistakes, I wish all these thinsg never happened, but they have. Its what happens in real life.
IF I were to offer something for sale, I would indeed price it at very close to retail value SHIPPED. That cuts $4-8 off the top. I also, as I said earlier, I price high so there's room to come down. People get mad when you price low and try to go up :) also, you can't cut a board longer...

My 2cents, if you see someone that's interested in something they can get cheaper send the interested person a PM.

Anyone can ask any price they want for..... Wait for it..... THEIR item, anyone on here obviously has access to the web. They have the ability to do a quick 30 second search to see what prices are all over the world, when you guy buy a car you compare dealership prices don't you?

it depends on the forum and the folks...on some forums among some folks I routinely wind up getting better than i expected..on others gotta watch for the bottom feeders.

Same reason I do, you don't want to see people's hard earned money taken or people sold something that's a rip off. But it also teaches people, it teaches them to be more careful next time, to do more research.

You whinny bitch...
Holy WOW did this ever catch my attention.
I just KNEW the very next post was going to be an explosion of very inappropriate phrasing.
Then I saw whom posted it and the reaction.
Wow, that woke me right up and it wasn't even directed at me.
I was prepared to be sitting here reading countless replies of how someone was going to be hung by the nads from a tree and lit on fire.
Thank you for the temporary excitement.
(I really wanted to NOT comment on the incorrect spelling......)

I'm done with Vaping Underground. You all are some seriously immature and petty individuals. If you're going to talk shit say, it to my face and I'll address you on an individual basis. Sending PM's about me, my personal information, and MY FAMILY'S information is completely across the line and uncalled for. Every single person I have dealt with on here (except for a select few) have complained, whined, and asked for more even though I have stayed in constant contact and provided assistance through the end of my trades. I believe that the vaping community is about being together in helping other peole quit and stay quit smoking cigarettes (and dipping in my case). This is one of the most fake and disgustingly cliquey communities in vaping (excluding a few actual friends I have made on here). For all of you that have gone snooping on my personal & family's personal info and tried to use that against me, go **** yourself. I will be fulfilling the rest of my trades and leaving Vaping Underground permanently. I'm thouroughly disgusted with the immaturity of some of you grown ass adults. Deuces

Had it been me, I wouldn't have edited myself. If you go, good luck, your choice to make, and I understand the mindset.

Balls for posting. ;)

Annnd, here comes the Cavalry again. Mods @Huckleberried @Whiskey anyone you can go ahead and delete my account please. I had a good time for the most part, but to come in here and start bashing on people that are speaking their opinion without publicly naming anyone is no different than the U Mad Bro? thread. But I have noticed that all of you jump in here all at once to shame people for how they think about others business tactics. Just for the record before you go running your neck that I am new, I am infact not, I am actually @iiKryptic so fuck you for banning me. It's like a little gang in here trying to control the feelings of the masses.

I don't think most folks post their used stuff at retail or higher deliberately. Maybe some do, but if I can find a new item cheaper I usually PM the seller and politely tell them I can buy it at the same price or lower. Most of the time they thank me and lower their price - if I get attitude from them, I just move on.

I think that in some cases, folks don't really check online prices for comparison...they were never really online shoppers...some folks buy all their stuff at brick and mortars at a much higher price than can be had from an online vendor...they discover this place, want to sell their stuff, and sell it at what they think is a decent price compared to what they paid...

Yep...and I am not the best online shopper either. When I sell my stuff I usually search and look at current new prices before I price my used stuff but I don't always find the best or lowest retail prices. So there are times when I might be high, just because I didn't have a clue - not because I was trying to rip anyone off.

NOW I'm a firm believer in taking your OWN photos, up close and personal to see the Authenticity sticker, etc. Before, since I have 99%, unopened authentic items, I wanted to post stock photos. I've learned my lesson. And, while I don't know to whom you are referring to, I would never, EVER mislead anyone - no way - no how. If I wanted to buy something new, I'd want to make sure it was new. If it was used, I'd have a list of questions for the seller.

Vendors will no doubt be touting their wares here eventually (Trade Forum). But for those of us who have "Hoarded", for when the well goes dry, there is a reason for that. Fine. I'll put my Provaris, Kayfuns, DotMods, awesome regulated mods and other really good authentic RDAs/RTAs/RBAs & tanks in a BIG silk lined box and wait. My profit margin won't be nearly as high as the vending peddlers. In fact, so long as I break even I'm happy. That's me and my 2 cents.

Vape on.....:cloud:
