Hello All---
Nice to be aboard SMF. Thanks to the moderators for their diligence in setting this all up.
Chem. Eng. from McGill U.
I'm processing CPUs and RAM cards so will be interested in buying these; without the middleman, I can pay better.
Looking forward to contributing here, and good luck to all.

Bienvenue to the forum from Las Vegas! Nice to have you aboard. When you're ready go ahead and get a site membership and start a Buyer's thread. If your prices good I'm sure you'll have plenty folks happy to sell to you.

I was once a large proponent of the paid membership but I have since became disenfranchised with it.......The buyers forum is a complete mess........Some people have not been online in years and yet their threads are still active........Also they still want you to pay a fee to bump your thread to the top which is absurd.......I got into an argument with the "former" admin about this and every time I brought it forward my thread was deleted.......I guess anything in the name of the almighty dollar.......this site has generated some business over the years for me but not enough to make constant donations.......I say go for it and advertise wherever you want and you might get a hit but I doubt without a legitimate thread and years of reviews and customers you will get much business through the mail (I would take a few cents less to insure that I got paid for my material)........Good luck to all as we try to navigate this new world of the Scrap Metal Forum where people that have been banned numerous times just hide their IP and make up new names and continue to spew the same rhetoric
Check out the current buyers forums and check out the prices they are offering for cpu and ram and finger cards....Quote:

Thanks. But what about the info regarding no moderators anymore?
Thanks Kiwi! Hope to visit your wonderland some day....
So no point in advertising here? Why would/did the leader abandon?
Thanks Blackgold, I have downloaded and read Hoke. Getting more informed everyday, but there is so much to learn, usually on the fly. I will advertise on GRF.
Cheers.
What a fiasco. You'd think that there would be some decorum and respect among members. Too bad. I will advertise anyways, as an honest buyer, and let everyone make up their own minds. Good and reliable buyers will find their customers and get repeats.
You can read reviews in the buyers/sellers section to gauge at least partially how many buyers have recent reviews indicating ongoing business specifically from forum members. Folks with posts in the buyers/sellers section also receive scrap from non-forum members in part due to how high this forum shows up on internet search results for scrap metal. I don't know how often the admin shows up but it's enough to clear posts reported as spam reasonably quickly and ban a particular member who very obviously hates this forum but keeps coming back for some reason.
DAY TWO?.........Not sure what the countdown signifies but I'll go with it
I'm probably gonna get nuked but .... :rolleyes:
BG ... there's no sense in this fighting. Are you suffering with wintertime depression ? Maybe bipolar disorder ? If so ... it's all biochemical. Things get a bit out of whack and you feel like crap.
In all honesty : I know you like to be the center of attention. It's also true that you've come in here under a number of different usernames over the years.
I'm really starting to consider the possibility that LiquidAu is just a sock puppet so that you can garner more attention.
I may be wrong on this. If so: My apologies to LiquidAu for the error. I guess you're kinda in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Welcome to the forum from Nashville, TN.
Blackgold12... why are you starting drama all the time? If you wanna start random fights with people go into some youtube comment sections or on reddit, where that is 99% what is going on anyway. This is supposed to be people helping each other out and a respectable place to buy/sell/trade/etc. I would never do business with anyone who acted like this, in real life, or online. I just simply do not get why you feel slighted by the world, or like you need to put others down for what seems like no reason at all. Unless I am missing some history or feud that you have for some reason.
We are still wanting to know this as wellQuote:
