Yep. I can also tell you his work is good, but it is not great. Welds like my MOM! Somebody described it to me as a hammer tack carpenter?

I give him credit fot making that stuff out of a garage. Maybe with a shop he could do better?

 

I can't comment on his quality but my point is we left him go here selling stuff cause he was always just a member that made stuff for hobby....but selling on ebay and now posting on other sites looking to sell makes him look like it's a little more than a hobby. Again I like the guy, but IMO he's using the hobby thing as a reason to skate around paying to advertise.

 

He doesn't post much either these days and you guys thought I was just being paranoid.

 

I still think he is just doing it just for a couple extra nickles to rub... I don't think he is gaining much from the transactions.

 

I thought to myself if I was doing this as a hobby, I would be all geeked up as well, but ever since he started "advertising" he's hardly been on the forum at all. Looks like business is picking up for him

 

Ya know, I suppose if I started tinkering with the stuff and knew how to do it, and people started asking me for things, I would honestly probably do the exact same thing, and be spending less time on here and more time making money off of it. I can't really critisize the guy for what he's doing. I never thought he was a bad guy in the first place. I think he just found a nice niche and is exploiting it honestly and making a little money from it.

Every time I think about it, it just doesn't seem like that big of a deal anymore. I wish him luck if he continues.

 

and like I said... he offered to donate stufffor a fundraiser... which is why I brought it up to Patrick...

I'm seeing the glass half full this time...
