noticed that sometimes, ppl ask for the dumbest trades? something like "i have a few extra hd's totalling about 2gb, 256mb simms (32 x 16mb), 3 2mb trident pci cards, sb16 sound card, p133 cpu w/hs, generic s7 mobo, 4x cd-rom, & 14" vga monitor. i would like to trade this for a 1.6a northwood cpu/mobo combo". do these kind of offers really work? for real... i see a lot of them, and i just feel like posting "you're dumb". anyway... thats the end of my nef/rant.

no they do know about the guy wanting a gf3 except his asking price or something will be too high.

Those are people that post without doing a search for the item they would like to trade first:
Simple.."search" GF3...and then you find everyone GF3 related. They deserve to miss out on each other's deal.

Being a Platinum Member of the Old AGN For Sale Forum holds more prestige to me than being an Elite Member. With over 300+ Positive Heatware Evals without a Negative (in reality over 1500 trades, most not evaluated at Heatware)also means more to me than being an Elite Member

I love the "3 year old Plextor 10x cdrw: would like to get $110 shipped"
Or the ever popular: "I have $.75 in paypal...someone sell me a GF3"
