Nonsense. Ever since I started reading this thread, I sell UR 250k+ at 1.65 and MR not BP at 1.8

No one is saying its the Bible. It was kept somewhat on point by people posting from experience. Yes you had brokers posting lower numbers and potential sellers posting higher, but it was somewhat real. An innocent person could've taken it seriously.
Some people always feel the need to bring stupidity into every thread. Ironically, the same people then ask "what happened to the good old days on DDF" #endrant

Let's be a little more friendly.
See above post. I have nothing against Elya or yourself, quite the contrary, I believe you both are great contributors to many discussions. My point is simply that not everything needs to be turned into a joke. There are people that were screwed out of many tens of thousands of dollars... There is a time and place for everything.

Thanks.
But I think the part of Elya's points was how the rates posted here can be so far off. For the same UR, a broker buying will post 1.3, a random seller will post 1.4, and a broker selling to a TA will post 1.5. Many if them are way further off. And these are all "broker" rates.

And then an incompetent...... Will shoot a number from 1.0 to 2.0.

I'll admit, as of late, it has been a bit better.

Agreed, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a joke. Good info has been relayed, and most info is good info lately.
Thanks for actually getting my point..

How can an innocent person take a question "is he reliable?" seriously, at worse he'll answer yes or no, why would someone trust someone because it was asked, if anything I'd be more paranoid.

Not everyone was born with a brain. Some might think he's just being over cautious by asking if this guy is reliable. They see a good offer, and may even seek this guy out.

+1
I actually know someone that basically did that based on a question like this. He went and sought the guy out, he ultimately paid up. It wasn't easy though.

I don't think so. I try my best. If you feel otherwise, I wouldn't mind being called out. (probably best in private )
