As i said before i don't mind you trading it, but if you are advertising it like you are doing with this post at least say who you got it from or who the set creator is. that tiny bit of credit goes a long way.
If you put it on your list and trade it thats fine, i have no problems with that. All i ask is just give credit, true you said: -
"These were acquired from a very good friend, a very reputable, reliable source across the pond, in the U.K.! Highly recommended!!..."
But that don't tell anyone who you got it from, just says you got it from another trader or another source. which in turn means they lose out on trades for the set they created.
Its fine posting this post if you want, but if you know who the set creator is at least mention their user name or website/e-mail so the traders can decide for themself who to get it from.
if you don't know the set creator, its not a problem. But if you know the set creator and didn't post who you got it from that speaks volumes itself.
Just sounds a bit greedy if you post it like this and the original set creator gets nothing for their time/effort as no mention of them was giving.
In future ask the set creator, we are not mind readers. You actually never ask me if it was ok to post a thread like this. which is why i am a bit surprised about it.
as for updates on my sets. well i use my website for that if anyone wants to trade, posting my list i usually have to do as not everybody checks my site. but half the time not everybody checks my list and miss out.
sometimes posting my list brings in new traders or set creators that stay hidden from places like this for whatever reason.
Their are times I get very busy, that I don't post my list because of it. I post in alot of forums and yahoo groups. So i don't post for a while just to catch up.
Just because i don't post a list means nothing, as that is something i only do to let those who never check my site or don't know of my site that I am here. I am always ready for trades, i just rely more on my website then my list to do my advertising.
I don't put restrictions on my sets, if you get my set your free to trade it. But if you post something like this which you did, at least say which is set creator you got it from.
I've had alot of sets for months on end, and not always do people ask for them for whatever reason. I've created sets which only 2 or 3 people get, then they trade it.
All i ask is just a general bit of respect for set creators if you post a thread like this especially for 1 single set. if its a whole trade list, then its fine i have no problem. if you list just one set and didn't mention who created it (if happy and know who) that just shows a lack of respect to that set creator.
Set creators really don't need to say anything, just use a bit of common sense. I am not angry or anything, happy for you trade it. but if you post a single set you got and know the set creator at least mention it or ask first.
On my website i don't list anything like that as their is no need to, i let other traders to use the common sense for that. sometimes they don't and can ruin a relationship with that set creator itself.
Trust me i have told quite a few people where to stick it because of something like this and a few other reasons. It just undermines the set creator.
Trade wise, 80% of the traders i deal with comes from the USA. 10% is the UK and the other 10% is the rest of the world. So i do deal with anyone around the world, just mostly the USA.
Remember without set creators, their will be no sets.
Final say, anybody interested are free to get it from beavis if they so wish, i have no problems with that. But just remember that you can it from me who created the set, if you so wish to trade.
I am quiting trading for good in a few months time, so anyone interested then let me know or just check my site as that will be the only thing that will be updated. i posted my lists for the last time for the forums.
