Buy/Sell/Trade

[fhhhstix]

Why is it every time someone posts a thread looking for an item the first response they get is to go to eBay or where to buy it new? They know where to buy it new that is why they are looking for the item hoping someone has one they bought, traded for, or just ended up with that they would be willing to sell, trade, or make a deal on. I grew up going to swap meets which was a great way to build things without spending a fortunes and I had hoped our B/S/T section would be that way but most of the time I just don’t see it like that.

I thought this forum was about a group of members out to help each other learn and build. Along with that goes helping each other out when we can. There are members on here that I have met and became friends with that I consider closer to me than some of my blood family members. So just like high school little groups form and most don’t want to step outside the group to help.


One of my first truck shows I went to, I came home with enough parts to build a new all-wheel drive truck and it was all done buy trading part I didn’t need for parts I did and sometimes it took two or three trades to get what I needed. I just don’t see this kind of attitude with the majority of the members these days.
