I agree 100%. It is a conflict of interest on Mike's side. It's very nice of him to allow us to sell stuff in his forum, when he often has the same stuff for sale new. I think in many cases he's being cool about it maybe because some of what we are selling, we've already purchased from RCM! If I need a motor mount, I'm buying it from RCM. I need pinions, I buy from RCM, etc. We try and feed the monster as much as we can. And reselling items we've already purchased from him is a slight conflict, but our intentions aren't to hurt his business.
Tim and I aren't complaining about the fact that our multiple posts were considered clutter and removed. I think the "complaint" is that we weren't PM'd and given the chance to back up our info first so that we could fix the problem with one big post.
I have no problem listing things in one giant single post. The reason I didn't was so that I could cut down on the size of it and give as much detail as possible on each item.
But perhaps I won't give so much detail next time and leave it up to the buyers to ask the questions about specifics? I don't know what to do to be honest.
If it's in the rules that you can't have multiple for sale posts, then I apologize for missing it. I know the rules in general but I don't have them memorized like some kind of oath! Like yesterday, I had completely forgotten that you can't list prices and did so on my first post before BrianG's posted a reply saying you can't. I don't post a lot of things FS here, so that's why I forgot. But I bet I won't forget that again!
Plus, guys like myself (and Doo) contribute as much as we can to this forum and fairly often. It's not like we just joined and started selling stuff right away! We are loyal members of this forum, and RCM products.
I just wish we could have had been PM'd and given a chance to back up our posts first, that's all.
