Sellers: When do you drop your price?
@jdoris - selling gear you don't want any more is not turning pro if you happen to make a few bucks. What if you inherited the gear and decided you didn't need it and wanted to sell it? Should you give it away?2 equally motivated (or unequally mot...

@mitch2 - please let's not get political.....and @unreceiveddogma - who mentioned what someone earns? I didn't see it any of @millercarbon 's posts. Not that he hesitates to defend himself....

Sorry @hilde45 - I just assumed by your alias that you were female. You know what happens when you ASSUME....I wonder if there are any women on this site. Anyone out there? Bueller....anyone....@gano - you are confusing honesty with charity ....re...
