Quote from: CntrlPAlongbeard on July 26, 2025, 11:25:47 AMI appreciate Shannon's graciousness on this issue, again... But as someone (and I know there are many of us out there) who just wants one to hunt with and keep forever and hand down to my kids; it really makes me mad to see these sold on eBay. Shannon just listed several legitimate reasons why he is less motivated to put more of these calls out there. I won't speak for him or guess what he feels, but if I were him it would bother the crap out of me every time one of these calls sells like this. Of course this is a free country and anybody has the right to do what they want. But I disagree strongly with the sentiment that we shouldn't be criticizing these sellers. I think it's a lousy thing to do. I also know that the sellers are often members on here and have even responded to some of these posts. I'm not trying to suggest they are ALL selfish, or call flippers, or bad guys. But I absolutely am suggesting that for whatever their reason for selling these calls on eBay at a HUGE profit, the end result is you screw the rest of us by making it less likely that any of us will get one in the future. I know for sure people will disagree and give me crap for this. And part of me wants to just shut up and keep this to myself (because maybe it's none of my business). But this is atleast the 3rd one sold recently that I've been aware of. And I just want the opinion out there that it pisses me off, and I think it's crap. It also seems like it's not motivating the call maker to put more out there. And I don't think I'm alone in this. Sorry but NOT sorry. And for anyone out there thinking well who is this guy anyways? I've been a member on here since like roughly 2013 (had to change my name slightly once because I lost my password), I don't post very often, but I read stuff frequently and I use everyone's knowledge and opinions on here all the time. This forum is awesome, and I do have a lot of respect for everyone on here. But if these folks selling the calls have the right to do that, then I have the right to highlight how I don't like it because I think it negatively impacts me personally. I've been within 30 seconds of getting one of these calls on here, but it's so hard to be any faster. The idea that I might get beat out by someone who might just sell it later irritates me greatly. FANTASTIC for the sellers making a nice chunk of change, but super unhelpful to the rest of us. End of rant.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
