Though they arent posted anywhere they are more in peoples heads and hearts here than on any page or wall anywhere there are some rules here also. I would think the first one is have some moral fiber and I even think the "golden" rule applies to people around here also (though it really is way beyond that) Maybe if people understood that they wouldnt have to even say that what people may have posted there was baseless. We know ECF rules sorry if sticking up for Jon makes it seem like people here are seemingly not following them but doesent life have some rules? Guess not everyone has to have a kind heart but I really wish this time of year ESPECIALLY more people did. You dont wanna know what i wanted to post on that sale ad only my holiday spirit made it impossible for me to type it though.

Well, I could maybe see charging for shipping. What's that, like $5-$8? So we'll say $8 for priority incl. tracking. Pay Pal Fees so add $3. The only way I can see it is if buyer pays for a more expensive tank at $55 + $8 shipping + 3 PP fees = $66, right? So for less expensive tank would be $51.

Just playing devil's advocate here but maybe it's not so far off. I don't agree that someone took a tank I couldn't get to exploit other people but they shouldn't have to lose money if they want to sell. JMHO even if it's not a popular 1.

I'm sorry huff, but you are way off. The shipping and the pp fees combined would not be more than $5.00. Now if you paid $45.00 for something and sold it for $75.00, that is price gouging in my books.

They are both sought after colors. all I ask is you post which one you got so we can know our chances for sale night. I wish all the tankless would tell us what they chose so we don't go choosing something that is already gone!

As a member of the Tankless list last week, people don't share what they got because they don't know! We got a pm on Wednesday asking for our choices, but Jon doesn't tell us what we got until he tells everyone else on sale night. We waited for a pm just like everyone else on Fri night-Sat morning! Just so you know why no one ever says anything. It's brutal waiting from Wednesday night until LATE Friday night to know what you got...lol. Of course, at least I knew I WAS getting a tank, just not which one. Hope this helps those that haven't been throw it. We're not being thoughtless, at least I wasn't I would have HAPPILY shared the news. :D

It's funny but I get it. Jon makes a beautiful, one of a kind product and offers it at a reasonable price. People come on here that don't really have any appreciation for it and buy it for the purpose of exploiting somebody's interest in Jon's work.

There are so many amazing people on the ecf; people who would give the shirt of their back to an ecf'r in need. It's the 1% that make you have to watch your back all the time here. I made a trade yesterday and felt like a jerk asking for a 2-way deposit by Pay Pal but see people every day in the negative feedback who take advantage. I heard about a deal that went down last week where a member sold the most disgusting broken mod (holes in it, leaking, physically just a mess) as "good condition."

What's a 2-way deposit?
