I am going to say it, if nobody else will. Watch what you post!!!

Guys,

Over the last few months we have talked about posting "deals" or certain machines on here that some memembers are looking for. Everyone knows I like cup machines and and looking to buy those. There are some on this site that get on here and may or may not be members, but they see what we are talking about and deals and they snip the member out of the particular machine/cooler they want. This has happened to me twice in the last few months. No big deal, more machines come along and sometimes at a better deal.

However, I am getting it off my chest that some people are cut throat and just here to see what deals there are and then beat out the member who really was looking for that particular item. I am going to PM deals to other members in the future and not post "great deals" in the open anymore. I know of a few instances that members on here have lost out on great "leads" due to others finding out and beating them out. Just a heads up.....watch out, because others are greedy and always looking to buy something from underneath you.

Just my opinion, but tried of seeing it happen to me and others.

Brian,

I realize this type of activity is difficult, if not impossible to monitor; however, we can utilize the Members Area Forums to discuss things a little more sensitive or urgent... These areas are set for Soda Jerks only which would only include those with 500+ posts. Hopefully, members with 500+ posts would know better than to undermine another member's potential deal!
Just remember there are exceptions to rule...

Jim,

Yep, I do see some members on here using the members area forums and they work well. I just hate to see other people lock in on a good deal, only to get beat by someone who reads what we tip on and knock them out of something they really wanted.

I totally  agree With you Brian There are people out there that are doing this crap
 and it is just wrong  . So I will PM to a member or even go down to the Soda Jerk area
to let a member know of  great deal, so count me in .

Nothing personal here as I don't buy much.  But I have had "my grass mowed" way to many times by people from other walks of life.
I learned a long time ago not to talk about a deal until it is sealed and most times delivered.


Rant on:

I consider myself a pretty quiet person, I recently joined facebook.  I reconnected with many people I have not seen in a long time.  But the amount of info they share with friends / public just amazes me.  There are people who announce everything they are doing.  That is just way to much personal business for me that I don't need to know. 
 I learned really quick "loose lips sink ships"

Rant off and 1 post closer to the members area

Agree 100%...  It's awesome to have so many friends looking out for each other and
it's exciting when something someone has been looking for pops up... But PM the
person... and when the deal is made hopefully it can then be posted in their collection....
Count me in... I've been doing this for a while....  So I guess we need a serious wish list started...

As for me ...yeah... a Quikold cooler standard that's it....

I agree too,,, I have been doing PM things and have other members clue me in on  deal in my area with PM's as well.. Good Point Brian, thanks for bringing it up.
