5. You can post as many RAOK items as you want. But only claim one. If it is up for more than 2 days without being claimed you may claim it. But you must post an additional RAOK item

 

Maybe I'm alone on this, but it doesn't read out properly to me.

 

It it supposed to mean...

A. You can post as many as you want

B. You can only claim 1 item in a 2 day period

C. After the 2 day period, you need to post another item in order to claim one

 

I like the idea, but it just doesn't seem logical at this point because people will simply hold onto their things so they can do another claim 2 days later, or for example assume I listed everything I was offering in 1 post, I made 1 claim and had nothing left to offer, I would have to find something in order to claim again.

 

I guess I might be starting to like the way I used to do things where if someone had something they didn't want, they would just offer it and not expect anything in return. In the event they did need/get something they weren't pressured to give something else just to obtain another something.

 

Probably doesn't make sense right now, but we tried something similar to this on my truck forum and that went to hell when there were standards like this. I ended up just dropping the whole thing all together because it caused a ruckus amongst people. Then we had some who complained the free thing wasn't what they needed, or I found it on ebay a week later.

 

If you guys actually go through with it, BE CAREFUL! and I have to suggest a seperate catagory where there is a restriction of some sort where they need to be a supporter or have a set number of posts that they don't know about (In other words a secret forum that once their post count hits a set # it opens for them.)

 

just my final $0.02 B)

You have not been here long enough to make these assumptions about the community here. We help each other out. We don't take advantage of each other. And most importantly we all trust each other for the most part. There are the rare exceptions but it is usually of sellers that come in with 10 posts and try and rip people off.

 

This is setup perfectly to work. I never said you had to post up 5 things at once. I posted alot of things at once because I do not have any desire to claim anything. Well unless a picotope comes up but I doubt that will happen. And no we do not need a "Secret Forum" for this as 95% of the people here will respect the rules set fourth in the first post.

 

When you reach the required posts please come back and claim something. Until then lets keep the chat out of this thread like I asked in the first post.

Few months longer than you isn't long enough? Sorry I'm not an avid poster, but as I stated.. I've done this before and know what happens. Good Luck, I hope I'm wrong.

Ya sorry this is my second username. One day my old one just was locked out. Could never be recovered. But like I said stop soiling this thread please.

I have a Salifert Ca (Calcium) Profi Test that I've used about 15 times. Not really using it anymore. Expires January 2013. Shipping is $5.

 

Just got this in today, packing was excellent, there were even packing peanuts inside the box to protect the stuff inside from breakage.

If there was ever a day when I needed a Random Act of Kindness, it was today.

Thank you SO much for bringing a smile to my face at a time when I really needed it. :flower:

No problem at all, I wanted to ship it so everything was in tact and safe, that is why I spent the extra 20 mins! -_-

 

You did an awesome job, I really, really appreciate it. :)
