i agree, i even feel bad about selling stuff to friends because i hate feeling like i am ripping them off, even when they are getting a pretty good deal most of the time

I don't think loving the smell of your own farts is a TGR thing....just must be the vibe of every one of your posts.

I dont wanna hate but its getting ridiculous especially when your capable of providing good quality posts.

how is that even remotely rediculous? I think it's a pretty douche bag move to sell something to a friend for way more than you bought it for.

Colorado ski and golf VIP and you just have to ask what they have in the back and some times you will get lucky. they were missing a box thats the only reason i got it for 200.
friends are friends but he offered.

The fuck are you talking about? I know a few of the most respected mags in the TGR gear swap forum buy fks/pivot off locals and flip them on TGR all the time. The dude got a great deal and is passing on a good deal to his friend while making a few bucks at the same time. I see no problem and absolutely no relation to NS or TGR.

do whatever you want, but i'd give them to a friend for the same price i got them for, if not cheaper.

cheaper than what you paid for something that is still brand new? do you enjoy losing money? i agree that marking something up for a friend to make money off them is a dick move, but hooking up a friend while losing money in the process is absolutely retarded

Yeah, you're right.  Guys flip shit on TGR all the time.  But when they do, they never post about it afterwards "Gee guys, did I make enough money one these?"

Never try to make money off your friends.  Cover your costs, and hook a brother up.
