Kitty didn't do it for free. She had a website and there was some sort of percentage she took for the service. It wasn't a lot, but it wasn't free either.
True but she did it free for KvR members especially, at least thats what i remember back then. Anyway, i doubt Salami will make much money here. :D
I seem to remember a small percentage also.
But that was such a small percentage of what the kitty offered as a KVR member.

When an 'individual' is here for just skimming the inbetweens, it just seems predatory.

It's the spawn of satan! Are there actually any bargains to talk about? I have a hankering for some really spiffy meters. Is blue cat having a sale? The dorrogh's are still too expensive.

Does Blue Cat ever have sales?

Yah i've been looking for some good anaylzers on sale too. It's too bad DMG Audio doesn't do sales because i would snag Dualism in a instance.

That also reminds me - I'm sitting on some Waves Crédit and already bought what I wanted from them this month. If someone wants one of the $100 specials for $70 instead, let me know.

Disclaimer: Even though it causes you no drawbacks, I will be making money of the deal. If you're the jealous broke type, you might want to cut off your nose to spite your face, so to speak.

Lol. :tu:

You definitely don't have to remind us about that!

If you're always just doing everything for everyone else for free and you find yourself strapped for cash at some point, you have yourself to blame.
The difference between you and an honest reseller like Uncle E. is, that he cares about customer service and wants satisfied customers. Everybody having a business want's to have a profit and there is nothing wrong with that. But you seem like a person that would sell his own grandmother for at profit. After your questionable way of promoting "bargains" I don't feel tempted to take your offer. But thanks anyway.

What I don't understand is, if you really are so tired of being a broke musician and want to stay in music business somehow, then why don't you start using your brain to do something sensible like making an honest business? Being broke is not an excuse for being immoral. Just because you haven't got what it takes to give people something, that they really want like Uncle E. or anyone else that works hard and have the skills to get a profit without breaking ordinary rules, doesn't give you the right to do anything here for earning money. In general anyone can stand in the street and be a drugdealer to earn a profit, but everyone can't be successfull having an honest business. That requires skills.

Ki, how about just charging people $32.40 total? That way they'll pay about the same as buying from anyone else and you'll still get to pocket $50-100 when all is said and done.
Hmm if you begin to do this kind of business on a regular basis, shouldn't you be registered as a business doing this. Somehow that "trick" sounds like tax-speculation or something. I don't know the laws in US, but where I live, Im not sure this would be considered ok, if I understand the above described procedure correctly.

A little desperate and always questionable.
You all have been so kind to SalemBeats that I can't understand why he won't return the love and do it for free.

Strange, 4lbkitty did the same thing and got nothing but thanks and love. Europeans didn't worry weather she paid taxes as long as they got the good deal, and didn't mind paying her a fee.
I don't understand kvr sometimes.
