You're still using this site to gain profit, which is against TOS. It would've been no big deal, but you have admitted to profiting from the site, and now potential buyers will know you are trying to take advantage of them. Perhaps I'll just make a sticky in the classifieds so people will know you are trying to take advantage of them. I'll try to do my best to help the classifieds.

if i had 50 sticks of ram and sold them all for a $10 profit

i may have 2-3 to sell just so i make a few bucks

guess i have to lose money to sell here, sorry i am not in the habit of throwing money away

go ahead i dont care, but if i can still sell them an item for a lower cost than they can find it online elsewhere and offer them good service they will probably still buy, i know i would

The intent of the classifieds is a market where you can sell things you no longer need or want.

It is not meant for you to profit.

exactly, i buy pc parts in semi bulk sometimes and if i have leftover parts i sell them here

example:

last week i had 3 extra sticks of Super Talent ram, i put them for sale for $35 shipped each, which was the going rate at the time

i sold two of them for $60 shipped minus paypal fees so i ended up with $57

i paid $3 to ship them so my net sale was $54

i originally paid $25 each for them shipped

i made a whole $4 and helped out a member here save about $10 over internet prices

why is that a bad thing?

and another example:

i bought a broken pc here for $70

i received it, fixed it and resold it locally on craigslist for $200 a week later

so is that wrong? i didnt sell it here?

just because i say i make a profit buying and selling here doesnt mean i actually make the profit FROM the members

I don't doubt that is wrong but ca.com has a policy forbidding the use of the forum in order to solely profit yourself. Selling your unused equipment is what it is for. Not buying stuff cheap and using it to resell for profit.

We are still waiting on the Mexican vote. Apparently they couldn't figure out the ballot.
