KC9KAS 4,741 #1 Posted December 5, 2015 I want to share a story. A couple of weeks ago a fellow was looking for a WH part and I had what he needed. We agreed on a price shipped to his postal address. He sent the money a day before I sent the package. I don't think either one of us were worried about being ripped off. Well I received the payment and he received the part. After the buyer saw the cost of shipping, he sent me a PM stating he was going to send more money as the cost of shipping was more than that of the item he bought. I said that wasn't necessary, as we had agreed on the price and I was fine with it. A few days later I received another letter with some more money for the part. This transaction actually happened on another forum, but we both are here too. I just wanted to say how comfortable it is to deal with folks here (and some other places) because we share a common interest and feel a closeness to one another even if we have never met in person. A really big thank you to all my friends here at Red Square and another big thank you to the mods and folks that keep this forum up and running! 30 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 2,408 #7 Posted December 5, 2015 I've been here for a few years now and consider all members good friends and I can honestly say I haven't heard of anyone getting ripped off by a fellow member , besides why would anyone want to rip off a fellow enthusiast. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wishin4a416 2,190 #10 Posted December 5, 2015 Quality Forums like this are few and far between. I belong to several Boating, Fishing and Hunting forums and can say this is the Crown Jewell. So much bickering and belittling on the others. Great bunch of People here! 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TDF5G 2,069 #18 Posted December 7, 2015 Absolutely. I am a member of other types of forums (not WH tractors), have been for years, and this is the best forum I've encountered. It's like a great brotherhood or family here. No bickering or name calling and good clean comments. I'm still a new guy here and I'm getting to know some of you all. I am convinced that no matter what issue there is with a WH or implement, someone here has the answer for it. It's the best forum ever and I appreciate everyone and the advice and knowledge that is freely shared here. I have learned so much from the forum myself. Lots and lots of great info. Thank you to all the members, moderators, administrators and all the powers that be. I have every intention of becoming a supporter just as soon as I'm able. Too much $ going out the door this time of year, with taxes, insurance, license, Xmas etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
