alright, not taking sides here, but that is an absolute abuse of power to whoever deleted it.  there are a lot of people that made their own threads, and then kangbang's gets deleted?  yeah, he's flipping stuff cause he doesn't want it, that's what EVERYBODY IS DOING.  there are very very few people actually selling the stuff they don't want from the smash and grab for $30.  so stop giving him shit just cause he's doing what everyone else is doing.

although, if you look at the beginning of the trading thread a mod said he would delete any s/g related sale threads in b/s/t

not that they are staying true to that..

yeah i kinda veered the more i wrote.  i understand that there were a ton of people posting on it.  but everyone's complaining that he's flipping, but so is basically everyone else!  in my opinion, it's ridiculous that his thread was deleted, and he's getting hate because of re-selling his shit.  it's his shit, he can do whatever the fuck he wants to do with it.

not everyone.  there are plenty of people making a profit on this.  people did this on customer appreciation day and people are doing it now.  because it's reeeally hard to sell the pieces you don't want for just $30 when you have people willing to pay a lot more, and offering it, too.  look at that kid who got that make it rain tee.  he sold it for like what, $50 or $60?  he paid $12 for it, and people didn't give him shit.  people flip stuff, i feel like everyone else should just get over it.

exactly!  before i had the chance to make a thread, a guy messaged me and offered $60 for my 88 bac blue.  what am i supposed to say "sorry man, i'd rather hook someone up for $30."  FUCK NO.  i'm a nice guy, but i'd rather hook myself up that someone who i've never met.

which is a big no no. someone offering you more is one thing, but blatantly demanding more then you payed is the definition of flipping.

I really don't see the problem with "flipping". If I put goods up for sale and someone is willing to pay a certain price for them, I don't give two fucks what I paid for it, you better believe I'm gonna sell it for the highest price I can get. If you don't want it for the higher price, don't buy it, because someone else will. I hate kangbang as much as anyone else on this site, but he could ask $150 bucks for each hoodie if he wanted, and as long as someone is willing to buy them at that price, it doesn't matter what he paid for them in the first place. Fuck.

Flipping works fine in a cutthroat and 100% capitalist world. However, as NS is a caring community, I think one can see why its frowned upon.

Not as bad as flipping something you get on proform, but still bad.

.

And if anybody get good pieces, i hope they will not sell it for cheap..

This event was gamble, you could have a good crate or not so, good / rare pieces need to be sold for a good price.

But this is just my opinion..

flipping is how the world goes round. circle of life. take for example all of you who are sitting on your macbook pros. you paid at least $1000 for that. how much do you think that computer cost to make? no where near what you paid for it. another example since i see this everyday. go into verizon, a car charger costs you $30. you know how much that cost me to buy in bulk and put in pretty packaging? fucking $1.90. flipping on ns basically is like hustling. cant knock a hustlaaaa

The thing is, its not flipping. It's business. Some people don't understand that when you buy low and sell high, it isn't a problem.

It's like the stock market. The whole point is the buy low and sell high to make a profit. When I sell stock for more than what unpaid for it I don't get emails from stock brokers saying GTFO YOU FUCKING FLIPPER.

I agree with u and Josh (585). I do a lot of buying low and selling high, but not on here. I do like to help kids out, while still getting an acceptable amount. When it's other skiers, I have a heart. EBay and craigslist is another story haha

the only stuff I've ever flipped is jiberish. any other gear I generally hook it up on prices/trades accepted.

But still, people can't really complain because all the stuff I wanted to sell was still under retail. I can understand that they were bitching at me about selling all the pieces I got for retail, but for $50, that's still a deal.

@subaru_303, same with me. I will only flip jiberish. I won't flip like a ski suit or something like that.

So let me get this straight. He should be banned because he tried to flip. Fair enough. Now go ban EVERY OTHER PERSON selling their stuff for more than $30 a piece. Sound fair?

yes, sounds very fair. Jiberish was hooking you all up, not doing this so all you fuck heads can make a profit of their generosity. if you are flipping stuff from S&G, you should be banned

Well I'm selling my stuff in there. And I said best offer takes it. So if somebody buys a oice off me for $40, then they can go ahead and message a mod and have them ban me for breaking the rules.

Doesn't matter weather Jiberish sells items in a smash and grab or retail priced, most of it will end of getting flipped. Stop acting like you are a good boy and haven't flipped shit. May I remind you of the trew jacket you sold? You bought it for $210 or something, used it, and sold it to a guy on TGR for $230 or $240.

Kangbang is right though, 50$ a piece is fair. FrI'm a case 2 standpoint, each piece came to about 35$. Now add shipping and ur at 45 which is what I sell my stuff for. Kangbang is in Canada and will most likely ship to the US so 50 is completely fair and is not flipping

Stop hating on Kangbang...

It's like 2-3 pages about this.. Who fuck*ng care about flipping a pieces of jiberish for 20$ over what he paid for !? Someone will buy it anyway or Kangbang will adjust his price..

Just don't buy is shit man if you think that's too expensive..

It may not be your situation but I'm sure that some kids here are not rich ... they do not have much money so they don't had the opportunity to put 150$ in a case of hoodies because their parents can't afford it. Then i'm sure they would be extremely happy to buy a Jiberish hoodie for 50$,

So stop crying about all this shit because some other kids would give everything they had for wath you have..

You're a fucking idiot. Canadian dollars are worth MORE than American dollars... In other words, you paid less than what Americans would have paid not including shipping, AND when you flip it, their $50 USD will end up being more than $50 CAD.... Also, "it's not flipping, it's business?" Yeah, if you were a businessman... But no, you're just some jackass from B.C. who thinks he's king shit, and wants to make some money off of Jiberish' generosity. Like Ginko said, if you were just some random guy selling random people stuff, then idgaf, sell it for as much as you please. But this is Newschoolers - a freeskiing COMMUNITY! Quit being a fuck and hook some fellow skiiers up.


So fuck you - not only are you flipping, but you're trying to deny it too.

Funny because when I transfered $80 USD to my bank account, the moeny turned into CAD and I only came out with $75 CAD, that was 2 days ago. Stop your bitching as well. If I was trying to sell it at retail then everyone would have a valid point. But its fucking $50 for a brand new hoodie! I don't care if I got it for $20 less, its sell a fairly good deal. And just to erase it from your mind, no, that price wasn't start off bid. It was a set price with no bidding. First one to pay $50 + ship get its.
