He didn't even give his BJF forum bretheren a courtesy heads up, nor a for sale post here...
What's up with that?
I wonder how much Bjorn's cut is?
Some folks primary connection with BJF pedals is how much they can profit from them.
Makes me wanna hurl...

is this person an member of BJFE.org?

if so, it IS in bad taste to not at least OFFER them here first.

Bjorn seems to be pretty good natured about the whole situation when his pedals sell for crazy prices.

but personally, if I were to sell or trade any of my BJF or MP pedals, I would go here first. And then to ebay. smile TGP.......there's a few people there I love and respect, but i am a "former member" and really have no time for their penis substitute gear swinging club.

umm.....i didn't say "smile" TGP....i said F$%CK TGP.

guess there's a profanity blocker somewhere in the board software

At least a dual post would have been appropriate.

no.....i think a post HERE first...then if no interest in a few days or at least 24 hours, THEN go post on TGP, HC, or EBAY.

I don't want to "flog" this poor guy, like Donner got piled on upon the DAM forum. I don't like ANY negativity, if at all possible.

but it would be cool if things like the custom shop series get offered here first.

and that's all i got to say about that

Take it easy, guys.

I know the seller, and he's a good dude. I haven't spoken with him, but I'm sure he has his reasons for doing things the way he's doing them this time around. Life can take turns, and the economy is in the toilet.

I agree that the profiteering can and does get way out of hand, but like I said ... I happen to know this guy personally, and he is a good guy.

I agree with you Doc...we are ALL almost broke right now....so I feel his pain.

But BJFE.org is sorta built around the inner circle, and those of us who might want one of those would like first shot at it....

I guess the poster was scared to post them here for big $$$? Especially after seeing what happened to DONNER on the DAM forum?

What happened on teh DAM forum? (I have some DAM I might be selling)

[Donner]

Yeah its all good.....

really the worst thing is to sell something cheap to someone and have them flip it for more.... so really sell for what you can get guys, these days I understand anything, I may be there soon myself


as long as we get detailed reviews out of the initial buyer we really cant complain much after that


enjoy them while you have them .....



~~~ oh and yes there is a 'dirty word' filter. its kind of fun, I set it up so it just changes some offensive words.........ha should have a contest to see who can find all the changed words......................hnmmmmm I think that will be the next Cussed'em Shop contest

[Bobby D]

George Carlin test!

i edited it...it only caught ONE of the words, so i edited the rest out
