    The issue is in discussion, but at this point it will need to be worked out between the Brancher, Grinder, and Mannowar.

    Hey Brancher, don't worry about it. Go ahead and complete the sale to Mannowar

    I went to the mfg site and buying from him only carries a $10 penalty.


    Still, I do hope Pipsissewa enlightens us concerning what happened to my first post .

    If it had been a new Corvette for $30 I'd be screaming a lot louder and longer.
    Ya know what I mean?? <G>

    OOOOH!!!
    "The other site" refers to White Blaze. I'm not living in the twilight zone.

    I had forgotten which site I had bid on. I skim through both sites several times a day.

    I still say, let 'er ride. But Those who cross advertise had better learn to check the other listings before awarding a popular sale.

    You got it, Grinder!

    Sorry to mettle. Just coming to the defense of an innocent tablet! You must have been on WhiteBlaze when you were on your android tablet, as Rooster posted above. Not here on HF.

    I'm so glad this has worked out among you. Mannowar showed a lot of class by offering to defer. Grinder, you too, are a class act by letting Mannowar have it. You guys are both first rate in my book! Hope to see you on the trail some day!

    Okay, everybody, just hold the phone. I just got back home - like just now - to find 2 pages of stuff (junk) about 'other pages', 'other sites', and whether or not I can post for sale on more than one forum????

    SERIOUSLY?????

    1. I posted something for sale on this forum.
    2. I also posted on Whiteblaze (a backpacking site) and set it up for sale on Ebay (but did not activate it yet. BTW, this is my practice - if something I have does not move on HF or WB, I toss it on Ebay to sell.).
    3. The person I saw who bought them was Mannowar. I accepted, and wrote a note to both him and Grinder. Told Mannowar my Paypal info, and told Grinder sorry about the tablet, and if this sale goes south I'll let him know.

    So, I don't know what the He$$ is going on here, but let me make a few things clear:
    1. Nobody tells me where to sell my stuff. I did NOTHING wrong.
    2. No 'mod' needs to get involved if I also advertise on another site. Why? Because it's nobody's business, that's why. Nobody here has exclusivity, nor does any 'mod' have the right or jurisdiction to 'look into it'.
    3. I've been selling on this and other forums for years, and I have never - never - been patronizing of anyone, nor have I ever sold anything that wasn't AT LEAST as nice, and generally absolutely better, than advertised -- as evidenced by my 100% feedback on ebay and Golfwrx over the past years and the feedback I've gotten from happy buyers here and elsewhere.

    Am I upset? Yeah, a little. I've been an active participant here for about 5 months or so, a member and participant in Whiteblaze since 2004, Golfwrx for about 6 years, and a buyer and seller hobbyist on Ebay since it opened for business. I have a few decades of experience in backpacking, camping, hammocking, kayaking, etc, and have enjoyed my time here (so far). But I think it's just kinda dumb for this kind of background noise to occur because of a very simple sale.

    You guys want to create some gossip? Fine. But - You want me to 'check with mods' before I sell to someone? I think not.

    I suggest some folks need some other hobbies.

    Up until a few months ago The HF For Sale Rules had an exclusivity clause that prohibited items for sale on HF from simultaneously being listed for sale elsewhere. This clause was silently dropped from the rules and many folks may not be aware of this and thus the confusion. The old rule in my view (and others) was unenforceable and unfair and that's why it no longer exists.

    I don't think anyone meant anything personal, just looking for clarification in a confusing situation.

    I can see where that would be confusing, I didn't know that people post FS items on other sites. I can see the problem....I would think if I post on here "I'll take" it would be mine.

    It's already hard enough to get a deal on here, not knowing your competing against another forum.

    I would think that if the seller has the option to say sorry this sold on another forum, the buyers looking should at least be informed it is listed on another forum or site that it is for sale elsewhere.....just thinking out loud here.

    Brancher was very explicit about the item being listed elsewhere.

    Who said you needed to check with the mods? It seems every post was in your favor. You might have taken my post out of context. I said that the mods might need to look at the for sale rules meaning possible changes in the future. I also stated you did not break the rules.
