• I replied to BR, but my internet crashed-
    basically:
    here selling to a captive audience of bike nuts is invaluable to people selling specialist stuff.
    ebay doesn't come close.
    ebay costs money, here doesn't.
    all the big sellers- and judging early this dude is going to be selling some super nice top end stuff that i wish i could have in my collection (thankfully this alan is too big)- organicorigin, hillarystone, JD- have made the donation because they understand that the forums resource is incredible- much more valuable and cheaper than ebay, they take home all the cash at the end of the day, not lose some to eBay.

    I recommended that colnago_costa come here, since I figured it would be of mutual benefit both to him and to the LFGSS. Personally, I think contributing to the forum is a personal choice; it certainly shows good form, and it's a positive thing - but for other forum members to passive-aggressively threaten new posters into doing so is a bad look, especially before they've even sold one bike.
