Some of you that have pointed it out, your right, I am not a paying member, at this time, there is no advantage to me paying a LARGE company like IB to use their site, they make their money off advertisers not membership, I pay membership for numerous sites that are run out of people's houses......it helps them pay the bandwidth costs.....not make a profit.
I actually use some of the advertised companies products and services here so I AM contributing $$$ to the site, I just don't need to pay for a membership to post pictures......
My main point of this thread was not to bash the swap shop, it was to point out that SOME people are using it to flog items in order to make money, NOT to just get rid of extra parts that they have upgraded etc.....it is a VERY good place to find deals and buy parts that you normally pay through the a$$ to buy new, kudos for that but some sellers are stretching the intent of the Swap Shop.....JMHO......

First off like I said in my reply I think the swap shop is a great tool for what it was intended. It is there to help members get rid of their extra parts and help other members find them at a good price. I personally buy at least 30 items a year from it but when it first came out I thought the rules were $500.00 limit, pictures and price were a must with boats/high dollars items excluded and TTT's were to be limited to once a week. When did that change?

I check the swap section almost daily without a problem or issue. If your whining here ....chances are good your whining about trivial BS elsewhere as well.
