I will say this. The thraed that OP was trying not to hijack was articulated with a bit more tact in my opinion, and thanks to the feedback from Afershock, I have a better understanding of where the venom came from, though fundamentally I still think the reaction was lame, just more of my libertarian free market ideology at work I suppose. And I simply don't know the OP or his intentions well enough to prosecute his actions, as such I prefer neutrality over condemnation.
I find it a bit interesting how this concern about the OP being scammed has gained some traction. Some imply OP is a scammer, others imply he's setting himself up to be scammed, which one is it? Of course it depends on the mindset that you bring to the equation. I prefer to give an OP who would post such a brazen thread, the benefit of the doubt in his level of commercial sophistication.
Moreover the best scams on BHW in my experience have their genesis in so called Mod Approval.
I've been scammed here on BHW 3 times since I've been a member. Yet I've also had great outcomes. The great outcomes do in fact outway the scams.
By scammed I mean goods and services paid for upfront were NOT delivered as promised AFTER full MOD approval, review, and a wave of happy customers. I've been around long enough to even experience the green eggs and spam hustle.
It's just a part of life and of doing business. You win some you lose some but everyone is entitled to take their swing at the fast moving ball, and as the saying goes... you gotta play to win! At the end of it all, the sum of all failures will be the building blocks of your success.
If you doubt that, go over to Google, type in "How'd you get so rich full episodes TV Land" and watch as many episodes as it takes to be inspired by mostly self made people.
Adios
