advice Stop lying. No one believes you.

[S-B]

I consistently see people lying about offers on the forums but this one is classic.

Why, when I click your link, does it say I have to be logged in to see it?

Surely if people are paying $300+ to be listed as a premium listing on your site, they want the ability to market their domains to non-flippa users?

I mean.... you don't need to be logged in to see an ebay listing?

EDIT: Also not working when logged in, has the URL changed?

Still had the auction page open and clicked on the seller. It appears that he's been suspended.

I agree on that, it was fun seeing all those comments. lol

It's a reality that everyone here should learn. EVERYONE on this forum lies. Some more than others and it's important you learn who does and who doesn't. If someone claims they have never lied on this forum that would not be their first lie.

that is not a true statement

a lot of members have no reason to lie

they have no reason to exaggerate about offers,sales, purchases or negotiation tactics and experiences.

for those that are not forthright, who post fake budgets, mention fake offers, practice shill bidding, delve in traffic scams, seo fakers, renege on agreed deals, incomplete web design projects, email phishing scammers, etc, etc.
the truth will come out, one way or another.

imo....

Pardon me? I think you need to speak for yourself and not for me, at the very least.

 

[Archangel]

Yeah, @WorldsWorstDomainer is insulting me and pissing me off.I'm a veteran domain investor/flipper, and I don't like being lumped into the assholes on NP. Believe me, I'm not this guy. He may be the 'world's worst domainer,' but the kid shouldn't drag the rest of us under the bus with him.

Gotta agree. The business world is small and word soon 'gets around'. Rep is everything and once it's gone that's you're business down the swanee.

I set up a property company in a Eastern European country eight years ago. Developers in this country are renowned for 'ripping people off'. I have seen them come and go by the bucket load. You only need one unhappy client and bang...business over. More so with the ability to use cyberspace to slate a company. Just look at sites like TripAdvisor to see how a business can be affected by a few bad reviews. So why is my company still going ? Simple - I have never ripped anyone off.

A little off thread I know but one thing I do feel strongly about is this. Anyone can register an email address and be anonymous then join a forum. I once had a competitor do this and attack me. I welcome the debating of contentious issues on message boards but keep to the facts. I am against censoring the internet because this could in effect curtail freedom of speech. I do however, feel that the laws of libel should apply just as they would if the comments were published in a leaflet or newsletter. You don't find it very much on NP as it is well moderated. However other well less moderated forums can be very unhappy places to visit.

Have a kool day all

Best,
Paul

Ahh, I came back to this thread with popcorn in hand ready for some more entertainment and you went and spoiled it.

Very well said, thank you.

So since I missed out on the fun and couldn't find it anywhere in this thread (skimming through), does anyone mind sharing the gem he was trying to sell?

Stuff it, I'm reg'n that in all other TLD's and selling him the package deal for $100,000. Going to be the best flip I'll ever do......

 

[AndyM]

Lets also break this domain down and translate to Spanish

Con = With
Tractoras = Tractor
F**k = F**k

Maybe he could sell to some dirty, horny Spanish farmer.

EVERYONE on this forum lies. Some more than others and it's important you learn who does and who doesn't. If someone claims they have never lied on this forum that would not be their first lie.

Other than there are clear contradictions here: "Everyone lies" vs "who does and who doesn't"

It should be obvious what this is saying.
I believe everyone lies but not all lies are equal and not all are really dishonest and you should find the members you can trust.

"I am going to develop"
"My web browser crashed and I didn't think the bid happened and when it crashed I decided I didn't want to bid so I'm not paying"
Maybe someone said buy premium listings on Flippa knowing that meant nothing but giving money away.
Maybe someone already got an offer
Most of sales is a management of white lies
"I own no TM"

So everyone has lied but that doesn't make you automatically untrustworthy - I would say that biggie, yourself are probably more trustworthy than other members. I don't know AGAME or Paul enough to comment.

There are members here I would give my credit card to with the pin and KNOW I would not lose a penny. There are people I could give my password to and be safe. These are people I've met ONLY on the forum and not in real life. I can tell you that I've probably still caught them in at least one lie. There are some I would trust children with. I know people on this forum that have trusted me with their hosting passwords because whilst you think I'm a jerk, I'm probably one of the most honest people here (and I admit that have lied about small things, lol).

Then there are some prominent and big members here that I would NOT even trust with a dollar bill.

So, with a healthy dose of cynicism, I believe everyone has lied. If you haven't ? Congratulations on being the most honest person on the forum. You should get a badge or medal or something. (And a dressing down when we catch you later )

To claim you never lie is ridiculous. I would think that calling NP members "assholes" is worse than me calling them "liars" {but I assume you mean dishonest liars because I'm not a literalist}. The point is that some lies are ok... some aren't .. people need to figure out who's spinning what lies and what they mean.

 

[Archangel]

Sorry but no: I don't lie. Period.

And yes: some domainers are assholes, and I have no apologies for saying that. BTW I wasn't calling ALL NP users assholes, only the unethical ones (which is every member according to you,as you believe us all to be that way).

Pick a better argument, kid.

No i was just teasing him. I did say in the past that there's probably 3 billion Chinese domainers out there.

We're old horses.
