$30 Best Buy Gift Card!

What did you expect Movieman? Of course there is an obvious connection between the forums drop off and the new head honcho.

Drop off? Umm, okay. Since I took over in November 2012, new posts have increased 200-300%, new topics are up 300-400% and we have set new forum records for traffic & number of users online. Overall, there seems to be a better "vibe" and a lot more activity. Sure, there are a few members that are MIA, but I don't see how that could be attributed to me purchasing the forum.

Hey Travis, To qualify for this $30 gift card, is there going to be a special topic/thread just for posting "treasures" for this contest or is it going to be for posting & commenting anywhere in the treasure chest section?

Do we only get credit for posts about items WE find or does replying to a thread with "Hey , thats cool, I got one of those out of a unit last year, great find!"; count?

Alias300....

Not sure I really follow your post #14 above, but I personally take no offence.

I know the eBay IDS (and some Craigslist indicators) on more than a few posters here and I use them just to see what those folks are up to and selling. Never hurts (IMO) to see what is selling (and where).

I specifically don't mention things I am selling on eBay because I don't want anymore competition for a given item than already exists there.

If I have an item on eBay for $100 and some poster here lists theirs for $50 buy it now it probably is going to woo away some buyer that MIGHT have chosen mine; of course we'll never know for sure.

It was meant as sarcasm and not towards you MM......


Meaning was if you knew my eBay listings.....heck yeah I'd want you to post elsewhere.  More views, more possible bids....


Tho, I don't post CL ad's here since those are to easy to F with people.   I could just see all the spam thrown at it from someone I may have said the wrong thing to by acident........

Man....does any of this make sense?   Doc put me on a new medication.   Whew!   Fun stuff.....

Yeah, I knew sarcasm was in there, but I have to admit I understood it better once you explained it!

As long as it's relevant to this category and natural, it qualifies.

2 Weeks left and the gift card is still up for grabs... so far the leader has only made a few posts!

No one has treasures. Times are tough.....


Does it count as treasure if say you buy a unit and the only thing in it is a 9mm Glock.  But you paid $1000 for the unit.

WhoHoooo!   Found a gun!.....that I paid $600 over retail for........

or...people don't like to brag about their spoils.

I doubt that's the case.  Humility doesn't seem to be strong in forums.  But then again, we here are all just a better breed than most of society. 


Haha.  See what I did there?......humility....then I said......

Yup I see, you made up a word I never heard before.

I've found a few cool things this year. Some of it i'm keeping & not sure I want the "public" to know about, and some things i'm waiting to sell before I do the full disclosure.

Travis,

If you put up a seperate Treasure Chest in the VIP room, I would be happy to post there. I just don't see the need to give the general public any incentive to get into storage auctions by posting my "best ofs".

The VIP room is sort of a general category, you can talk about anything in there. No need to put in sub-categories. 

VIP room?     I missed that door.     


Everybody hates me.
Nobody loves me.
Go'n to the garden to eat worms.......

You forgot to mention that only posters with 500 or more posts can access it when they are online (signed in).

I have looked at it. So far two of the possibly 10 people who can access it have done so. I'm not one of them.
