Agreed, a lot of immaturity here on this forum. Some young kid will post a harmless question and some rocket moped engineer will pipe in and rip the poor soul to shreds and then you’ll have the tag team bunch jump in post silly memes and jokes, while not lending one piece of solid advice. Maybe this hobby is starting to mature as indicative of some the inflation? Maybe it’s time for some to hang up the leather members only jackets and pick up frisbee golf?
Side note : everyone I mean everyone with a hobby flips . Unless you have buckets of cash, in order to survive you flip. So who cares about flippers. They’re just faster on the marketplace ads then the rest of us. I’ll gladly pay an up charge for some guy that yank a ped’ out of someone’s shed instead of me hitting refresh while taking a shit at work
