sites like these are competitors..

why dont people understand that and just respect the way it is.

its simply a matter of respect for bubbleman and the rest of the good folks who make this site happen. why question their judgment?

anyone that disagrees, do you have the time/funds/equipment/ability to run your own FMB-like site?
didnt think so. so will everyone please respect the admin's wishes?

what are they competing for though? Not trying to be a smart ass, but fmb is a hash site, bfg is a glass site. thats two different things.

Why does everyone from fmb hate bfg, and everyone from tc hate everyone everywhere? Im sure the members of all of these sites frequent ALL of these sites and are essentially the same people. I mean, we ALL smoke weed, so why is everyone who is involved in the online weed smoking community filled with so much HATRED for eachother? Why can't we HELP eachother if there is no reason for the hate, like referring eachother to other websites that may help us further our knowledge of weed, hash, glass; anything related? I personally do not understand the animosity that Mods have for Mods of other websites. Unless bitfreak punched bubbleman in the stomach at a party of something... I dunno... just tryin to make sense of senselessness. I see absolutely no "competition" between BFG and FMB, because FMB is not for profit. right?

EDIT : The first and last time I got a tokecity account, I got on there and asked "has anyone here heard of SoulShineFamilyGlass? are they any good?" and I was banned immediately. I have no idea why, but that was the entirety of my thread. That was the first example of the animosity I experience between weed smokers on the web, but it wasn't the last. Please don't ban me, I love and respect FMB, I'm just trying to point out the words of a guy with a jerry curl: "Can't we all just get along?"

word.
I'm sorry I find it comical how mods of various sites behave. FMB has been an amazing find for me :brainiac: and I hope it grows endlessly. BFG did what he believed was a necessary step to continue business.....so who cares! more power to him, he's the one running a website and contributing his piece to the glass community. I do know there has been some shit that happened in the past w/TC and former mods but seriously jBucks said it. We all smoke, look at how many people post milk shots on a daily basis.....I mean c'mon now. There is most definitely drama/issues behind the scenes with artists/vendors etc. that we don't know about....but the hostility I see on sites sometimes is retarted for sites based on cannabis products and the use of them. (and no the hostility I speak of isn't related to mainting the security of sites)

....anyways whatever! ...smoke one:pipe:

lol u think just because its a bunch of stoners everyone is going to get along and not be competitive? fullmeltglass was recently launched so i doubt they are going to be very happy about people posting about how to access other places to buy glass.
another reason is that this is suppose to be a place to show off your glass not a place to talk about where to buy functional glass. there isn't really a section to talk about other vendors that arent fullmeltglass.

ive really never been able to purchase anything on fullmeltglass. and ive tried. but thats beside the point that FMG is not FMB. So what bubblecrack is irrelevant. and FullMeltBubble proved that. Thanks for your open, unegotistical nature Mr. FMB we appreciate it.

thanks fullmelt...for being a bigger person, and for FMB/FMG!

(sure, I'm on another forum site, do I feel the need to advertise it? fuck no!...would I PM u w/info pertaining to your ? if it involved another site? fuck yeah!)

I have zero problem with any other sites.... i started fullmeltglass for the love of glass.. not for the hate of glass sellers...
I think to all those that want to start a forum or herbsite or glass site or what ever ... Do it right and fuel it with your passion and you can't go wrong.
As for this site.. as it grows.. more and more people will grow to love it and hate it... thats called life..
deal with it gentlemen... either way do it with a nice bowl of melt and it will all be much more enjoyable..

peace

Wonderful site, great people but...

I've become kind of weary about how much the sale section has blown up lately. It has definitely gained popularity, which can only bring problems. Let the PM's begin...

What?

Why would the popularity be a problem?

I think for the most part the glass section has been great for most people using it.

i live in LA, and around the valley is definitely the best spot for glass. everything you can imagine except for some special .de roors (the Howard Marks ones, etc.) can be found here for prices that are gouged out of control.

the sales section on this site has become an invisible hand in the economic market of glass and really set prices back to normal. i think its growing popularity is a plus

It works both ways....

Some people here think like you, with the idea that they are bringing down prices all around and making piece shops become far more fair with their pricing because they are having to compete, overall making it easier for the modest glass owner to get something nice.

Others though, see that there are people here looking for very rare glass and on top of this that they have loads of money to fork over for it. With this in mind people have been coming here with their "ultra rare tubes" and try to sell them for WAY more than they would get on the street because they are able to showcase their "rare piece" to people that are specifically looking for rare pieces.

Simple economics....when demand is high and supply is low, cost of the product goes through the roof. When people show up here with a tube that no one else has, and they know everyone around here is looking for it, they mark the price up to flat out ridiculous levels.

People who are seriously looking for rare tubes know that they are pricey, and when they already have the idea that they are going to pay a lot to get what they want, by the time it comes around or they have found what they are looking for, they end up willing to pay ridiculous prices because they feel it is their one and only chance to get their "dream piece".

I don't give a fuck what anyone says about SG, there is no way that a straight tube gridline (even with a matching a/c and bowl) should be selling for anywhere near $1250.....I mean WS was selling gridline/8 arms for under $600 so if they came up on a straight gridline it should never be more than that (possibly a little bit more because of the rarity but not even close to over a %100 mark up).

More and more people are coming to this site that have money coming out of their ass and when any person selling their rare tube sees that, they will automatically try to sell their peice for way more than they know they should because they have the possibility that someone with a grip of money is going to pick it up because they can't find it anywhere else.

I mean for people who live out of the country, then paying a lot for a SG or Toro or wtvr is understable because there actually is no way your probably going to find it around where you live and if you do its just going to be the same price cause god knows how it got there in the first place.

When I see somone buying a piece for $1250 though, when I have seen something nicer than it for under $600...I just can't help but feel bad.

Its understanable if you have a nice piece and want to make some money off of it, but when you mark a $600 piece up by more than %100 all your doing is screwing everyone over except yourself.

Bless the people who come here wanting to offer people nice glass for reasonable prices and realize the glass market is a fucking joke and that most of the pieces you see are selling for %100 to %200 more than they are worth.

For those people that come here trying to make crazy amounts of money...well all I can say is get the fuck out of here. Go open a piece shop and mark your shit up to ridiculous prices and see how many people come in and buy your shit.

The problem is that only %10 of us are willing to pay thousands of dollars for a piece we want...and basically when a person comes in here selling their pieces for so much as to only attract that %10 of "high spenders", well then the other %90 of possible buyers is shit out of luck and can't even consider getting anything.

Typical capitalism bullshit, and yes I know that most of what I said is "just business" but its the whole reason the business world is so fucked up. Its all about making money, not about retaining credibility, a good customer basis, or value of the company and product they are selling.

Ok...well I think I typed enough, Im done.

Haha I wasn't around in the 1700's so I don't think so, but thanks man. :) I just really don't like how business works now a days, which is part of the reason why I went on a typing frenzy last night and wrote that up. Thanks for the input.

Just thought I'd say I don't see BF and FMB being competition. A lot of the goods sold on here are re-sales that were originally bought through BFG. Also, FMB tends to be cheaper than BFG because it is a re-sale.

yanno... i disagree with your thoughts about posting store stock online. alot of ppl can't get quality glass in BFE and wouldnt have any other choice but to look on the net and get scammed by some janky site. thats why im glad that Bman lets us sell glass on here wether it is new or used this is a rare find on the net. hopefully ill be as cool as some of you on this site(u know who you are) and be enlightened.... but for now i am here :)
