That's why B/S/T forums are so busy. There's the large section of the buying public who will only buy used so there's symbiosis there.
I provide products. Services that I've never advertised are not available. For the record, I also don't make sandwiches, clean gutters, or fix your car. And I won't be shamed into doing even if you scream it to the hilltops. It's not "too small to afford," it's "too early to give in to the entitlement."
Oh, and thanks for the exposure, askthedust. I got a lot more site traffic and a few orders out of it.
There is no such thing as bad publicity!

Read the whole thread, truest words written.
A goblin came on the carpet. We're adults, we can handle it. Someone does need to hit the goblin with a rolled up newspaper though.
