Why are so many people unwilling to ship?

Very true.

You win the "new guy with coolest avatar" award good sir/madam.

Yeah sure you betcha!

You didn't pay attention in geography- that's northern Minnesota.
You know why it's so windy in ND? Montana blows and Minnesota sucks.....

I always thought it's because the people who live in ND are blowhards

They have to be, there's nothing else to do

I have shipped things before but only when it's things that wouldn't be the end of the world if lost or not paid for. Mostly I don't ship things (or ask things to be shipped) as I don't have a way to collect (or send) electronic payments (and checks are mostly a thing of the past). FTF cash payments work for me but then I travel around the PNW a lot for work so that helps. Plus, I've met a lot of really nice people that share common interests and most have been very interesting to chat with and provide helpful information.

A new member that's actively contributing to different threads is likely not a bot. The scammers usually join then immediately go to the Classifieds without much participation in other sections.

Another "green flag" for me is if they're a supporting member. Generally someone who's here to make a quick buck isn't going to be donating a portion of their would-be ill-gotten gains to the community.

not everyones been here for years though, tells nothing

How is not shipping bending over exactly? I don't ship because it's not worth my time. Rather than trying to sell a rowing machine with CL or FB for $500, I opted to give it away. I'm giving my buddy my Big Green Egg because it's not worth the hassle to sell it.

Going to the post office sucks D**K. At least that's the way I see it.

Mike hates going to the Post Office so much that last time he sent his sister there to ship something for him, and look what happened to her!!

 

[HA556]

not this specific group, just lots of bending over.

Why bother being here then?! You have already proven your true colors and mind set so, why not just head out and spread your poison on another forum?

I will not ship my Big Green Egg, Sam I Am!
