Bluefish As for the other site, well what's done in Vegas stays in Vegas. So until a mod or John says its alright to discuss the "incident" on this board in some form with guidelines. I won't comment about what happened. If I do get the greenlight then I will tell my side which will help others understand what happened. As for now I don't feel comfortable even disscussing the event in Vegas even back there. I'm now like a huge portion of the building community I'm "uncomfortable in Vegas"
As for your question well I do sell plugs. To people who I know off site and 99% of them buy from the back of my truck. Including a certain someone that will remain known as "numbers". Total lures I have sold? appx 200 or doing exactly what you preach is okay trading. Sound like a lucritive commercial business?
Since were talking about it in a hypothetical way and not about any certain event I will try an answer you. The idea of merchandise for plugs in any other form is using items for tender. Thus it is selling. Hey you want twenty four plugs well go to Sears buy something worth x amount of dollars and "trade me that" (Just send a reciept case I don't like the color) or better yet you know so snd so real well. Well go to him and buy twenty four of his plugs and that is under the guidelines as okay correct? The problem is the word buy is in both those phrases. Also if I buy components and equipment and barter with someone dosen't that take away from a stores ability to sell a lure similar to the one you traded for?
With that you see my dilemma and the dilemma of a big group of builders and why they don't post over in Vegas anymore. Way too many landmines. Me I tried to help in Vegas thought from my open discusssions with a Vegas manager I was doing the correct thing on my postings. Wait Im discussing the event and again until I get the okay here I won't. AS for this topic it is a good one, and needs to be discussed. If by anyway it makes anyone here uncomfortable I won't say another word.
