I'm not sure why my last response to sammy didn't show up. I'm offended by what he said. It's not my fault I ahve some of the problems I have, and if the only solution to this is to just put things on eBay instead of here in order to not upset anyone then that's what will happen. If I am not shown some level of trust and allowed to negotiate business with someone who is making it possible for me to earn an income without having to ive off the governemnt, then I am proud to have been able to communicate with GH and oprganise things. OK, shipping to the US might take a day or 2 more than shipping to the UK, but the same applies in the other direction. I don't complain when I wait a week or more for chips in the post, why should the same respect and understanding not apply both ways?

You seemed to have missed my point? Twice I said don't take offence at what I was posting. None of this makes sense - see it from our point of view.
You don't even have a camera?? I mean, what is GH playing at sending them to you. For all I know you could be the most trustworthy person on the planet, but like I said, you are new and inexperienced compared to some of the forum users and perhaps this would have been better in the hands of a member who has been around longer? for examples sake only CPUShack... he's been here for years, has traded with everybody and handled countless group buys.

OK.........i had a feeling this would happen.
and "maybe" SAMMY is right?
I feel like I have a warrant out for my arrest for trying to be a good guy here.....sorry my fault..YES........Maybe i should have consulted with everybody on the forum......but nobody asked......DEBS did.
I dont want this to get out of hand.........
Please everybody talk this out and figure a solution.
Sammy I dont have the time to sell these chips. and to tell you the truth
they really dont mean nothing to me but a big ball of melted gold.
I thought i would offer some of these chips out to you collectors just out of the kindness of my heart. but it seems I have caused a uproar as to the actions I have made.
it wouldnt hurt me as much to record a 30 second video of me throwing these chips into the OCEAN just a few steps from my house. or melting the chips for the metal content....... Iam not a chip collector.....
I buy and sell excess inventory for active chips. vintage chips are not my hobbie. if you feel that iam causing some type of conspiracy here ........please let me know " again" i have no problem leaving "YOUR" site and pretending I never came here.
again... . iam sorry in intruded
I will let me self out

It's easier to say not to take offence that to not be offended. It makes perfect sense to me, as I ahve all the time in the world to devote to sorting through a quantity of chips and putting them up for sale.

No, I don't have a camera. I've made no secret of that. I've also made no secret of the fact that I'll have either a camera or a scanner next week (most likely a scanner, with which I can scan several chips at a time). As such, that is not a problem. I was getting one to be able to psot some of my own chips, and now I have an added reason to get it. A job.

Why is this such a big problem? I don't see others complaining, only you. What did I do to upset you that has you trying to get in the way of a business deal I ahve organised? Saying that no offence is meant does not stop your comments being upsetting, and not take away frmo the fact that you are publicly telling everyone that someone else should be taking this job on. Well, it was offered to me and not you - or is it that which upsets you? That *I* might make some money, and not you?
If it's not such a big deal, then why did it have to be said publicly and not in a PM?

This is seeming like more and more of a scam the more i read.
Come on everyone....Shout out!!! "No please don't do it.... Don't leave. We all trust you debs and GH"
Yeah ok.
I offered this guy $1000 for those 20 CPU's, I offered him my telephone number, I explained how to upload images etc, and advised him on better ways of posting. Something is clearly not right.
I love the way how he depicts throwing the CPU's into the Sea etc.
Hell, one guy even offered to meet up with him who only lived round the corner? Why didn't he ask him for some kind of solution?
Good luck Debs and GH...

Debs, what makes MORE sense to you? Sending the chips from the US to the UK, then BACK again to collectors in the US and Canada, then back again to Europe and Asia, or directly from the US to anywhere in the world?
The point is, you MAY be able to handle something like this, but it most certainly isn't for the best. Instead of taking it with the forums first, you now have a problem that's making us all look like a bunch of amateurs.

Man....and all I basicaly said was count me out 
Ya, I really think my point(in my last post) was clear and true!
I don't want you(GH) nor Debs nor anyone else to get "offended" by any of us here making coments and replies on the topic.
I mean, It's not everyday some strange, out of nowhere,unknowed, yet questionable offer get's thrown in this forum....right? !!!
I am a strong believer in being "aware" and "carefull" with people making offers  (again ,no offence).
I agree that you guys can wait to see how the prices on the chips Vs the prices on shipping are going to be, but, I'm not sticking around to pay the bill on shipping when it could be a simple "US to CAN" transaction!!!
Everyone is  in here, and I respect everyone's replies made to me or in the forum.
...So if you all want to take a chance at this, well feel free !!!
Enjoy  this could be fun, if I had the $$ to spend like that.

C'mon, GH is just in LA. We can always send someone to check everything out or even do a local pick up. (only if GH is willing to give his address)
I don't think US -> UK -> US or CA or any other place is a good idea.

Well I'm sorry for having thought I could do something useful. Last time I tried to do something that I thought would be good for other collectors things were done that made it impossible for me to carry it on. I feel like I am not going to be allowed to do anything that benefits the group without the autority of certain members.
I don't mind if John or someone else handles it if GH wants them to, what I mind is that thigns were said publicly that could have been said in a PM (especailly the last comment form Sammy about this lookig more and more like a scam! Whow as that directed at?)
The point is that I saw an opportunity to take on a job that could benefit everyone, and not everyone agrees that it's so good. That was no reason for picking fault with the fact that it's me as a relatively new member arranging to do business with another very new member. That could have been talked about in PM, I had even PMed sammy about it to start with, and the first response I got was "Debs, no offence... but what the hell is going on?". If it's something I shouldn't have done, it should have been talked about in private, it should have been explained to me without my having to be belittled publicly and then slandered.
As I say I don't care who handles it, I just thought I was being helpful, while at the same time having a chance to do a little work. Why did it have to become such a big deal?

Unbelieveable
Thanks for that. Not very good at obeying NETIQUETTE are you.
It's incredible how all of a sudden you have started posting on the thread when before you didn't have the time.
Let someone in your state visit you and verify your chip stock, and prove me wrong. PLEASE.

Best for who? You, Debs, GH, "the community"?
FFS, letīs give Debs a chance! Perhaps its not just chipcollecting here but helping someone out.
If they are shipped from UK instead of US, whats the big deal? It is prices, prices,prices! (And as for a fun fact, out of those 247 who has specified location here in the forums, a 134 or 54% is outside US/Canada)
Im still saying, lets see some deals and then say if it works or not. If the "market" does not like the sollution it will end fast, and if its a scam(!??!), it will be over before it started.
Edit: Spelling.
