if the forum helps him unload his stuff, that he is trying to sell here, by all means i got no right to stop him and say no. personally IMHO i would buy from an active member that really helped here. if all they do is skate around forums to unload stuff thats fine by me. i just look at it this way, being a mechanic i wouldnt just buy tools from someone who pulled into the lot selling tools from the back of his vehicle. he may have all the brand new top of the line tools for a good price and warranty shouldnt be an issue cause you could do it through your dealer but IMHO i would rather help a person that goes into my shop every week, loans me tools once in a while and cut me a fair price here and there and share me tips on whats new. now if that rubs you the wrong way i cant help you bud! just my 2 cents! peoples opinion and points of views are different from one another. i hate rubbing shoulders with other people but if im not mistaken im entitled to my opinion also.
