      @jacoavlu:

      if an item is out of line, the lack of any response should speak enough

      now in the instance of straight up flipping a deal for profit
      I got no issue if someone wants to call that out

      That's the reason I was ranting. The Guy most likely flipped the sale for a profit. If he didn't… well that's another story, but he deserved to be called on it. Other than that what you said is also very true. I can understand if someone wants a little profit like $10, but this Guy jacked it up to $400 from $200.

        if he didn't then you shit up his thread
        I would have started with a polite PM

          what's the big deal about flipping for a profit? isn't that part of business in general??  something is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

          You use this train of thoughts when dealing with mates as well?.. Don't get me wrong: back in the days when I was buying and selling records, buying low and selling high was my modus operandi as well… But I never applied it when dealing with mates... Always cut them a deal... The guy selling these jeans at 200 % should be banned from buying from Self Edge for starters... And you know why?.. Cause Kiya was selling these to give people a good deal... This c*** more than likely bought to resell... If not he would've passed the deal... 200 $...

          And what is this BULLSHIT about "being polite" about it?.. Call him out... He's selling them at 200 %... I don't care whàt his motives are... Buyer needs to know this... Trash his thread, use the biggest font you are allowed to use, preferable in a bold purple…

          Also: I like chitchat in my sales threads... I love random posts in my sales threads... As long as they're not spambots posting, I'm all good... Just adds a little personal touch to a cold sales thread y'know... Not asking Lando to step off but hey this is the "Random rants" thread right?.. And I'm hangover and fairly pissed off right?.. Right...

                my sales speak for themselves, no?  i am the devil's advocate & don't take the popular stance.  let's be for real, we all aren't mates.  i treat folks the way i like to be treated & i think always give more than fair prices, i'm also as straight forward as they come & even do payment plans with more than one buyer & all that kind of jazz. in any event i really think if someone is willing to pay what ever, than so be it.  i mean what does not get marked up when being sold?  it's fair for a vendor to mark up an item, but an independent seller can't do the same thing?  get the f^ck out of here.

                @Seul:

                not bullshit that is the person that wrote the comment personal style. for the most part he is even polite when busting my balls. now seul, you are impolite even when being nice  :D, i deal with it & move on.  doesn't take away from you as a good person.

                @Seul:

                Also: I like chitchat in my sales threads… I love random posts in my sales threads...

                i will make sure to continue to post random comments in your thread.  some are good, some are pointless & annoying, all personal preference i guess

                i need to stay out of rants  😠

                  Naaah man… Capitalism is dead lad... Fuck jacking your price on a pair of jeans cause it's "OOP"... If an independent seller feels the need to make a profit, let him get a fecking job as a retailer...

                  Nudge nudge to Lando and his 500$ 1634s…  😠

                  Alright - enough out of me... Heading to work...

                    i guess i am not an internet dude & so for the most part treat things like the real world.  why is it i can't buy low & sell high without getting my sales thread thrashed?  i don't go into big or selfedge & say you bought all that for xyz so your price should be this.  why would i do it to joe blow selling some overrated jean or shirt or shoe horn?

                    i'm just ranting

                    who the hell are you all to determine a person can/can not set a price.  it's funny that folks say kiya was throwing a deal. really i look at it as a good business transaction being as how it builds traffic to his store & god knows what he paid, but no one shits up his thread or store & that is all my major point is.  i can go on but the rant is losing steam  😠

                    this stuff is funny

                      To no-one in particular.  Capitalism/free market/socialism etc etc is getting a little political and we dont do politics here.

                              i am always on line browsing for sewing machines and came across these guys. Hartford jeans http://hartforddenimcompany.com/

                              not much else on the web on them but OMG!! their heart is in the right place but the jeans are pretty horrifying. go browse though the gallery if you get bored, its like G-star made by kids.

                              to make it worse it looks like they have actually manage to get their hands on some really decent denim
                              someone go over there and bitch slap them while your there steal all the denim and their union special 51500L.

                              really random rant over

                                yep, that´s Klue , he´s into different color stitching and hand sewing, not everybody´s taste, but I always appreciate people who do things and venture out to accomplish something

                                  Agreed.  I'm really not into Klue's style, but I respect his willingness to go way outside the box with his designs.  He tries for a very "handmade" aesthetic, which makes for some really cool looking buttons and rivets, I think.

                                    Beat you know this guy? I don't mind the color and love hand stitching. He needs to learn how to do basic sewing, machine or hand before starting a label. If you go to his machine section half of them is not even threaded properly.

                                    Like I said his heart is in the right place. Just wanted to rant. It hurts me to see nice things wasted

                                        Haha I don't think he would appreciate a no body telling him he need to improve his skills. If he really cared he would have googled how to do things and buy manuals for his machines.

                                        Like I am sure G didn't know how to sew and work a hem folder etc but wasn't hart to find out and now he's a pro:)
