All I'm saying is that a majority of the things I know about reps (and it isn't much) are directly from sales threads. When I'm sitting there hemming and hawing, about to put down some hard earned dough on a rep and a more experienced guy is pointing out things on the piece or saying it's cheaper elsewhere, he/she just saved me $ and possibly some regret. Because if I find out I got ripped off, oh brother is there going to be a problem!
Also, I am an active member on other Rep forums but made an account here due to the fact the dialog here is very opened and the mods are some of the top that I've seen: I have never seen threads get nuked/problems handled so quick as I have here on RWI. I have faith in the mods and you more experienced guys to sometimes look out for newer guys like me just as was done for you when you were getting started in this hobby.
And Wooky, I'm not looking to tug at anyone's heart strings with some Saving Private Ryan story I respect your opinion on the subject and know that if I had an issue I could PM a guy like you for help if need be...but what is thread-crapping to you, does sometimes help me and I'm sure as I grown in this hobby, I am probably going to get tired of it as well.

For a Noob member like me, it is really good to, if some experts point out the difference between a bargain and bullshit.
But in a positive way, and about obvious flaws, that a noob maybe does not see.
Not about some hairline scratches or something.
In my opinion, a sales thread is a bit of a discussion too, of course the seller makes the rules, but if you ask some questions about the quality, or point out obvious flaws, this isn´t crapping to me, it is about honesty to the other members, who may not see the problems, and are dissapointed after the buy.
But that are just my thoughts about it.
