You're attracting those who will take advantage for profit.........

 

[CatLABS]

what?

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

I was just saying your prices are low enough to attract vultures. One, as you are, can be very kind and generous but there are those who will take advantage for their own profit.

 

[CatLABS]

well i do that too some times i guess.
all gone now anyways.
Thanks

Vulture here
J/K
actually the only thing in this lot I wont use myself are the polycontrast filters.

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

I'm not saying someone shouldn't profit from buying/selling... just that those who do so with that solely in mind are NOT photographers... they're low-life profiteers. I DON'T MEAN YOU, BRUCE... YOUR PRICE WAS TOO LOW.

 

[CatLABS]

i buy and sell stuff all day solely for the profit involved. i am also a photographer. Sure i am an anarcho syndicalist and i am completely in agreement the profit and surplus value are the ultimate evils which make free market capitalism so bad for everyone, but just like any one else who needs to make a living i take advantage of people when i buy\make stuff for cheap and then take advantage of other people when i sell\trade stuff to them for profit\surplus value. I am creating compound interest, fractional currency and so on. i dont see why APUG is any different then the rest of the world.

 

[CatLABS]

and BTW - Each of thse items did not sell on its own for 5-10$ each, so together, they cannot be worth more then what i was asking. if they are worth 100% more and someone might make 20$ here and spend who knows how much time dealing with selling off each item - they deserve each and every penny the make.

I NEEDED the papersafe and the gralab will come in as a nice bonus.
Can always use more neg sleeves.

The only *itch is shipping costs these days.

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

I've done a lot of buying/selling strictly for profit so I'm not criticizing. At any rate... I saw some really low prices for the OP's items and just wanted to let him know that he could have asked for more money and some folks will buy his items just to resell. I should have kept quiet. And I'm not saying the buyer is turning over those items. He could but he probably isn't.

 

[AndyB.]

Well, if it's anybody's bidness: I'm planning to use all the items listed -- although I have a set of Ilford MG filters already.

My only question, having come back to the thread several hours after PM'ing Mr. K., is whether Bruce or I am the buyer!

Do let me know.

When did making a profit become a problem? This is a Free Country.

 

[CatLABS]

Sorry for jumping the gun.
Andy was the first to contact me and so the stuff goes to him, sorry bruce about the confusion.

There is nothing free about any country, most definitely nothing free in or about the US.

 

[AndyB.]

Thanks for clearing that up!
