El_Weruso Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Following a rule on not commenting on "For sale" posts where the comment doesn't assist on the sale. So doing the ranting here, but how about this.. How about a Black market rule where you are required to have the bait being sold "IN HAND"? What is this dumb crap people trying to sell something they don't even have?! Thoughts?@swimbaitunderground Excuse the rant. ricardo, StriperAddict, burkekr17 and 19 others 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKNNH Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I'm with ya. If you're gonna flip, at least have the item in hand. El_Weruso, Loganodum38 and StriperAddict 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperAddict Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I agree 100%. If your gonna jack the price up way over retail at least be able to post a pic of the bait in your possesion. Cant believe guys are taking flipper pre orders now... INSANE! Mossypumpkin, CG_Fishes, Mbeam and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossypumpkin Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I pretty much agree here. The issue is, what are you gonna do when there are a dozen people right here on the same forum asking to buy said bait the same day of a drop? “Missed the drop today, can I buy one of your baits that you won’t even have for a week? That’s no different than the guys selling them Rooster594, El_Weruso, BigJimmyB and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes my head hurt seeing guys jump through hoops for them and all the parts it takes to make em work.

basskickinrednick Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I agree at least wait until you have it in hand before you post a bait you dont even have iFishLA and El_Weruso 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFishLA Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I apologize. I feel like I started this last week with my K9 post. I had posted about trading two K9’s that I had bought from the drop a couple of weeks ago. That was the only time I did that and the baits came sooner than I had posted and the trades went thru with no problem, but yeah I agree with having the bait in hand from now on. Sorry about starting that mess... yev14, SumoNinja and El_Weruso 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRigged Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Could not agree more. It’s getting pathetic. These last couple drops have been mind blowing El_Weruso and SoCalBassBum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim137a Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 A relatively new member with 22 posts total and 11 of those posts dealing with flipping a bait he doesn’t even have while bragging about capitalizing on it - great community member - comes to profit and brings nothing to the table. As much as I wanted that bait today I won’t let someone like that profit off of me - I’ll do without. I don’t mind paying a bit more for certain baits but when IMO someone comes on the forum solely to get what he can get $ wise is not someone I want to deal with. that’s my little rant. chevro1et, CaliforniaRigged, japanesebassman and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbaitrookie Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 It's time for the SU to implement the same rules that other forums use such as minimum posts, active participation in the forum other than the black market, etc. Jim137a, Loganodum38, DirtySouthGlide and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im one of the minimal post "new guys" I am trying to be more active on SU not just in the black market because of the other posts on this same topic I have read.

Ppl like that shouldn’t be allowed to use the forum solely to come and profit and then float about it. That’s just my opinion. When they gloat about making a few dollars - that put me over the edge. ‘’banishment and possibly a spanking to to teach them some manners.
