A while ago I remember someone posting a link to a book about fly fishing in cities and the like. I searched all over and can't seem to find the post in question.
Anyone by chance remember the name of the book? Giles maybe?
I'd like to get a copy of it for my father…
dude: City Fishing by Jerry Dennis

How do you all fell about selling items rcvd as gifts or deeply discounted? I think it's kind of slimy (especially when the person is/was part of a loosely-tightly-knit-informal-formal-organization-clique-squad) but wanted to see if someone could help me to look at the matter in a different light.
Thanks

i think it's bad manners/form as well, & will give my brief perspective.
many moons ago we had a pretty interesting discussion about the forum dynamic & the concept of "mates" & "family", "brotherhood" & all that kind of good stuff. i said we aren't all "mates" to the person i was speaking with & unfortunately that practice falls into selling "gifts".
for most of my life i've been a part of numerous organizations which have very distinct honor system which for the most part puts me at odds with a large segment of the population. although I'm pretty laid back, most of those things really stick with me & governs the way I interact with people. it's also one of the reasons i actually admire forum members that aren't always popular (injun & one of the adams come to mind) but are true to their own value system.
any ways, just thought it was worth getting a different perspective

A good post to think about Monday. Thanks for that.
I run into it most often when searching ebay. When someone on an actual forum does it, they usually get called out.
Buying/selling records is a good example, but I've noticed it with clothing/shoes as well.
