As someone who was a victim of this when I first joined, I know all too well about this.  As when I first posted a machine a bit to high I  was spat at, kicked, sucker punched and was made out not very well lol. I licked my wounds and realized my rookie mistake and moved on. I have always wanted to say something, but felt it wasn't my place on here as I'm too new. I'm glad it was finally mentioned. Like mentioned in posts in here I did see a post where some machines were being offered at a certain price which seemed high. Rather then make comments about it I just made a post advertising the same product at $800 cheaper. For newbies with all the vendors at the top of the page if they jump on something that's way over priced and don't do there homework I think the fault falls on them.

I think the point that some of us are trying to make is that the newbies come HERE to do their homework. As pointed out by others, this forum has a long history of helping people, and not sitting idly by and let them make mistakes or get ripped off.

Rarely will you see someone post a question (that has been asked a million times) and have someone jump on them to use the search function. Instead, they just answer the question, or point them to the answer.

Dave, that was absolutely brutal and a perfect example of what Wayne and others are talking about here.  I wish you would post a link to that thread for others to read up on and see again and remember just how brutal some can be on here.

Yes sir Mr. Poppo (and Mr. Buzz and others), this is a site about education.  It's also about sharing a hobby, interests, creating new friendships, helping one another out, and just being FRIENDLY in general.  My question to you sir and others..... Is there a better or more proper way of doing it to maintain a friendly atmosphere here with regards to classified ads?

For example:

A newbie posts a classified for a Double Diamond S-Plus and says "$2,000 - taking offers".


Which is a better approach if the sale price is really just eating at you:

1)  Post directly on the posters ad stating things like "hey are you crazy you can get the for $200" and "hey the information you got on this machine is all wrong".  And then the rabble piles on.  Go read Dave's post...that was ridiculous.  Belittling someone is a pretty poor way of educating someone and others.

OR maybe try another approach

2)  Privately send the person a message.  Give him some some links to Vendor ads, Ebay ads, and Craigslist ads.  Give him / her the opportunity to reconsider and perhaps update their ad or eliminate all together.  This is a positive and polite way of going about it.


AND so you say "what about the Newbies that see the ad and overpay"..."what about those poor fellas...we gotta help-em"


3)  Well I believe most people on this site are not 5 year olds.  People know how use the internet and they do their research.  But just in case, there are great Craigslist and Ebay threads on here.  Someone posts a classified for a $2,000 DD....why not instead create a new post on the Craigslist thread..."Hey guys - I found a DD for only $200" and here's the link.  The message gets across without directly belittling someone that might be a great new member.  The other newbies also see it at the same time.  There...you did your part to educate....you can sleep well tonight.

Some of the way newbies are approached on this site are remarkable...it's amazing they came back at all "for more education".  Dave for one...Delma comes to mind....others.


My point is, if you want to educate, then do just that, do it in a polite, positive way, but you don't have to be an asshole about it.  That's not what this site is about.

As to the first part, again people do use the Internet to do their research. And that is how most find this site. I know that's how I found it and how I learned that I paid too much for my 1st machine. I wish I would have found it sooner and saved myself a bunch. Had I looked in the classifieds and seen e-bay type of prices, I would have assumed that was the best one could do.

As to the second part, that may not be a bad idea. We have a craigslist type of ad thing here for guns. When someone posts a ridiculously priced ad, sometimes someone will will post a separate FS ad for the same gun but then say 'You can find gun x at store x for $xxx'.

The only problem is one would really need to post it in the classifieds section since many people may not even look in the ebay/craigslist section. I don't usually look there because craigslist is a local thing, and I already scour e-bay. And posting in the classifieds probably won't fly. I look at the classifieds here because most of the time the items listed are priced correctly.

Here's another point that I wanted to bring up: someone new comes on and says that they want to have their machine run on quarters. Then people jump on him and accuse him of wanting to illegally have a gambling parlor. Maybe the person wants to use quarters for his own reasons and maybe he lives in a legal state where you can use quarters. As a result, the person "drops out" and won't ask for advice again as someone made an assumption or an accusation without asking qualifying questions either in PM or open forum. Maybe the person is just not knowledgeable and needs an education. We have a "radar" for dishonesty and probably could call someone out if they were really going to setup an illegal home casino for profit. I have been "yelled" at for saying "Why don't you just use tokens?" not thinking that the person may have considered that already.

Ah, the Slingo Slaughter... Those repeated kicks went on for days with a few posts of people that had bought machines cheap and couldn't say where anyone else could buy them or had the machine youwere selling, but didn't list theirs for sale.  The kicking and general bashing continued for pages, but people got a laugh out of it, that's for sure.  It's good that you got past that and continued here.  I probably should have started this post back then since that wasn't what I thought this site was about, and I don't believe in kicking someone when they're down. 

Thanks,
Wayne

NO DON'T POST THAT DREDED THREAD lol........Man what a  frying pan frying pan I took back then. I was very close to telling this site to F-off but after it calmed down some members did start to say nice things and I got a bunch of PM's telling me not to take it personally. I'm glad I did stick around because it's one hell of a informational site. Plus I have talked to some great people on here and found things I couldn't find before and even helped a few people out here. I also got to know I truly good and helpful member, that being Jim (bettor Slots). Although I haven't met him in person just talked several times on the phone even though he's only an hour away lol.  I found out as quickly as someone is willing to tear you down, they will also be the first to help you out. I just hope there wasn't too many people that were run out.

BTW I have a super rare Double Diamond S+ for sale it has all the original graphics and even takes Quarters comes with smoke smelled stand and free shipping Asking only $6,500  bust gut laughing bust gut laughing bust gut laughing bust gut laughing bust gut laughing bust gut laughing

I got an idea lets tell Bunker there his and let him pay for them. Then you can ship to me. Then I'll copy them on a printer. On some cheap paper and send to him he'll never know the difference.  Crazy Crazy

Just keep this post private.  Tongue Out

Well, you got the strips. Now you can put them in and sell that machine.

You going to post it here for sale or do you already have a buyer ?  I have the glass I can not use anymore, gonna hang it on the wall I guess.

Post a picture when it's finished.
