Re: Selling manifolds: Why it sucks.
OOOOOR
you can buy a manifold from someone that sells them only AFTER they're made.
Two good things would happen from that:
If you're such a nice guy you want to go on & on about not buying cheap things, then do something about it. Make quality manifolds & sell them cheaply. Short of that, regardless of who you are, or how right you are when you talk... Nobody really cares. You haven't stopped anyone from buying, or selling anything with all your rants. The newbs are still going to buy stuff that isn't ready to go from people with a history; you're still going to have people taking advantage of that making manifolds, and all three sides are still going to be endlessly bitching about it.
LoL! Seriously. Let it go, oh my god!
Engloid if it bothers you this damn much, why don't you propose a forum rule here to the staff (That many other forums have) stating you can't offer something for hire. If you're going to sell something. It has to be a completed product.
That's how I roll every forum I staff & it keeps all the ******* quiet. If you break the rules, you don't sell period.
Problems solved.
(btw don't get the wrong impression Engloid. You're the best welder I've ever seen, and I agree with everything you just said.)

Two good things would happen from that:
- Newbies would quit spamming endlessly along the lines of, "where's my manifold from the douchebag (No offense
) with a history that I didn't check. - The old hands at fabbing would stop being annoying, spamming just as endlessly about, "oooooh this isn't the way to do stuff." Here's a clue. Unless you're a staff member, it's not your damn buisness what someone does! Ya know some of yall are joking around & that's cool. But some of yall are just such ****** LoL!

I have thought about trying a bit harder and taking some orders, but in my mind too many things could go wrong that are out of my control that could cause it all to backfire.

Re: Selling manifolds: Why it sucks.
engloid, you need to come and visit some time. you must make good money at what you do because i could very easily see you being very successful on your own. why haven't you already done this or am i mistaken? i would really like for us to meet one day. if you are ever up this way some time you will have to let me know. 
when i was a sponsor here i never took money until i was ready to ship. that was my policy and it worked great for me. i never pissed anyone off and i built a pretty decent rep because of that one simple thing. customer service should be any entrepeneur's first priority.
