IIRC others have been made to become A sponsor if they wanted to sell here.@OakleyBoss
Professional Oakley Sellers(or POS's for short) are trying to dictate the rules here so their threads can be a safe space.
They need that safe space because this is how they put food on their tables.
@Steven Goldberg has 300+ pairs of oakleys for sale on ebay right now.

And he isnt the only one. We know who the others are.
They buy up tons and tons of stuff and sell here because it increases their profits to avoid Ebay fees and hassle. Then they break the rules and ask for payments F&F(yes I have proof).
And the worst part about it is NONE of them are even premium members here.
That many items for sale all day every day and a bag of chips?
That should qualify them to become a FORUM SPONSOR.
Then maybe their input about how sales here are treated could be taken with more then a grain of salt!
These dudes are running small side businesses here and it seems like all you care about is site traffic from it rather than what Made Oakley Forum Great in the first place:
It was the fact that you coupled a nice underground hobby with your professional web skills(waaaaay beyond Dann's)
Skills that blew it up into a Professional Oakley Sellers paradise. (I saw it first hand with the rubbers).
I understand that the POS's(professional oakley sellers) are a part of the traffic that helps fund the forum, but there is clearly enough of us who are long standing members who are turned off by it that a solution should be considered...
Make them pay to be a forum sponsor. Then they can rap all they want.
Unti then, there will be those of us that continue to understand the injustice they do to the other 99.9% of us by taking tons of well priced items away from others and listing them HERE ON THE FORUM for stupid money.
The counter argument is that if it's a stupid price, dont buy it! Keep scrolling. Right?
Wrong.
Up until a few years ago, Mars used to sell for like $200-$350(high end if it was a crater)

And now Goldberg sells them for $650 (not even a crater)

And by "he sells them for $650"....I mean he has listed over 30 boxed sets of Mars in the last year and a half.

He cornered the Mars market and drove the price up for the other 99% of us. This is the effect that the POS's have on our hobby.

On what grounds?@OakleyBoss this is a flamer right here. Should be banned

I'll be honest I don't think it's flaming I think it's a valid concern and while I would prefer to receive the message via PM, it is calm collected and logical throughout. I would agree that based on the volume of deals and looking at having 300+ items for sale on eBay that does seem like a Professional Seller / Store, and should be a forum sponsor. I will send a PM so we can discuss this further so as to keep this thread on topic of rules.
