iamsofly 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 Hey, I bought some of those flies. They are great. Nicely tied, and durable. Also great for the price. Thanks for the flies. -Alec Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 shouldn't this post go in the "Trading Floor" forum? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaeronf 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 Lol, yea but I didn't want to wait or have it "declined". I am just trying to get some business. If you really think about it, this is a fly tying forum meaning most people tie their own flies and probably for other people too. There is really a very slight chance that I will get "business".

JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 Lol, yea but I didn't want to wait or have it "declined". There are rules to the forum, we are here as guests. We all probably bend them at one time or another- my opinion (and that's all it is) is the thread, and your reply is counter to the spirit of the "Fly Tying Bench".

gaeronf 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 Ok, I am sorry. I want to change this topic over because of your point now. I unfortunately cannot anymore (I am pretty sure anyway). I am sure when an Admin sees this they will delete it. Thank you for your input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Vegas 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 just let it roll and you might want to find just fishing forums rather than tying forums since the whole point we are here is that we tie our own flies. Or at least try too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 In the meantime, you could simply edit your own posts, and remove the link address. No harm in offering to sell, but it should be confined to the trading floor (IMHO.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaeronf 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 As Mr. Vegas said i am just going to let it roll, in a couple if days this forum will be loooong gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted February 24, 2011 gregfred, really hate to do this to you because you seem like a good kid(according to your profile your only 14)... I just looked at this topic and the "iamsofly" member that posted about how great you are is actually you posting from another account. Look, I am all for people starting their own business and doing what they can to make a few bucks but you are really going about it the wrong way. 1. Your trying to sell flies to fly tiers. You would have better luck trying to sell bags of ice to Eskimos. 2. You knowingly posted this in the wrong forum because you didn't want it to be "denied". So, from the beginning you knew this would be frowned upon but you went ahead and did it anyway. 3. Your selling flies to yourself. Part of me hopes that you gave yourself a discount because I would hate for you to to get ripped off. The other half of me hopes that you got $100 per fly because your buying them from yourself so you can charge whatever you want and it is all pure profit. I dunno, I'm torn but hopefully it was worked out so it benefited each side equally. Obviously, forging customer testimonials is a big "no-no", you know that. Now, not only will people consider you a spammer but they think of you as a con artist and a scam. Hopefully 10 to 20 years from now you look back on this day and realize that it was SmallieHunter and the crew at FTF that helped you turn your life around and that you will forever be indebted to us. That or you will be bunk mates with Bernie Madoff cursing me and plotting your revenge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaeronf 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 Ok, you got me. That was the total WRONG thing to do. I am sorry, but I was wondering. How did you figure that out? And (I'm guessing that I will) at what point are you going to ban me...Sorry again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Vegas 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 I think we all knew the testimonial was him but I didn't want to say it. We all know he is young and did dumb stuff as children ourselves. Glad you came on and hope it swings him the right direction! Gregfred, just make sure to go through the proper channels next time and remember that anything you post on the internet can be mostly traced back to the original person. Don't leave the forum thinking we all hate you just remember this post and learn from it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
