With all the lurkers around, by the time they sign up, they are already experts.

With all the lurkers around, by the time they sign up, they are already experts.

not everyone is a lurker ! many people search for keyword terms and RFD pulls up a topic relating to it. Many then sign up to post a reply or pm someone about things :) I deal with many newly signed up members daily.

[MrDisco]

....get a Sponsored Poster title? :confused:

[Desolatax]

I was actually going to suggest this today, you read my mind! Creepy...

True RDF Spirit

[Toronto Tonto]

I found RDF 2 days ago and love this site!! I was looking for on google for hotels and here i am. what have i been missing? i've litterly had only 5 hours sleep in 48 hrs. i am now working on reducing my bell bill and and a retension deal with rogers. i'll let ya all know the results.

[SNoWMoNKeY]

Hi everyone, just joined, found this site on google and wow, this is a great place. Hope to find some good deals I wasn't even looking for, will try to help everyone out with any good deals I know.:cheesygri

[LiveOnRC]

I am glad that my buddy told me about this site. Now I can afford to spend more money on my RC cars, helicopters, boats... :D I am going to look into many deals today. Thanks for the awesome site.

[HopeItHelps]

This site is doing really well on Google. I Googleid it and found this site on Page 1 for business forums. Glad to have found it.

[susan323]

i find this site through my friend, really a very good forum:)

[Deactivated Account12345]

I'm Mike/Michael or mlurp.
I guess I posted my intro in the wrong place on the 30th Aug. But I think this is a great place to do many things. But the best part is this board allows one to share thoughts on the news and also religion and Politics. Not many forums allow this.
So I will need time to get the full impact of this board and all it offers. So if any of you care to point out different locations I might find use full.
I am selling my house in Indiana. I have a 2 year old NOT used 18" Travel Trailer, I might be into selling. Can I place a sale here? There are many items my deceased wife collected I have need to get rid of. Boyd's Bears and things like that.
Well my best wishes to all Red Flag Deals members.

[Mendesb]

BST forum is meant for trading/selling.

There is a heading for vehicles, and another for other.

hope this helps. :)

Hi mlurp, this is a Canadian forum ... and it looks like you're from the US ... so you might have trouble finding local buyers for your items here.

[Deactivated Account12345]

Hi mlurp, this is a Canadian forum ... and it looks like you're from the US ... so you might have trouble finding local buyers for your items here.

I can drive it to the buyer if they pay the gas and any flat tires. My PU Truck is a 2005, with 29,850 miles on it, bought one month before the Travel Trailer, if I decide to sell it.
I'm in a bit of a bind. My house in Indiana, is about to sell. This house in Topeka, I want out of. So I might need the trailer to live in while I get a house built. Or if I can find another house with land in the country then I have no need for it. As I bought it for the wife and I to travel in. She passed away Feb. 2006, so it has been winterized sense then 2005.
As for the Boyd's Bears they ship cheap. And other items can be shipped also.

I've been in the Western part of your beautiful nation. Would love to visit it again.
I thank you for the info. But right now I need to get an answer on my notebook. And post in the political & religion forum. I haven't made up my mind on selling anything just yet.

How do I post pictures? I press the yellow square with the 2 mountains on it to insert image. Then copy my image

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc79/kambc/IMG_4222-1.jpg?t=1194287069

to the link. After doing this all I seem to get is s link to the picture, not the picture its self.
Thanks TerryT

Not sure which link you're using, however [img] tags will not work unless the link ends with .jpg, .bmp, .png, etc..

Your link;

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc79/kambc/IMG_4222-1.jpg?t=1194287069

is incorrect, you need to delete everything beyond the .jpg. The correct link would be


http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc79/kambc/IMG_4222-1.jpg

Try putting that link inbetween the [img] tags.

[longodds]

this is my first time here,and i don't know what i can do here,who can tell me? thanks.

[heathergraham]

hi everyonee :)

[rowong]

Hello from Toronto, joined since last week I believe ?

I was wondering how do I post pictures ? When I clicked on the yellow mountain icon, a window pops up with an input box that has "http://' or sth, do I have to upload my pictures somewhere before I enter in a link ? If so, are there any sites you would recommend for uploading pics?


thanks a lot !

[12iceman]

Hi everybody, I'm from Toronto and I'm a new member. I have only just begun lurking around and I must say that this site is quite the goldmine if you are a deal seeker. I am ecstatic and hope to contribute and participate in many successful transactions with other fellow members.

[jcj]

hi to all the members of this forum I'm just new here!

[ambercrombie]

I have just come in for the first time..thanx for the invite..

[Marwen]

Hi,
I am one of the "lurkers" that have been on the site for a couple of months and it took that long to feel comfortable enough to sign up. This is one of the best sites I have ever seen. I am looking forward to contributing some deals, feebies and contests to this site and maybe making a friend or two also.:)

[pdq_sailor]

:| This site has already saved me money!

With the help of the site I went to Rogers and got my blackberry hooked up to unlimited e-mail with no voice plan for $15.00 per month plus $6.95 system access and another $0.50 per month for emergency system access. The only extra charge was a one time fee of $25 for a new SIM card for my blackberry. Two months ago I cancelled it because it was costing me $85 / month for the same thing.

They were not easy giving me the deal - it took like six phone calls and a visit to a Rogers store to pick up the SIM card to get it done but the print out of their web ad and being firm they gave me the deal.

Oh yes - no contract either....

Awesome site. :o

[Hunter316]

Hey everyone I discovered this site after searching for future shop setup fiasco and finally decided to join. I have posted a few replies now and after trying my first quote and having it look nothing like any other quote I have seen here (no blue box and the word Quote on each side of the phrase) I figured it was time to ask my first question. How do I quote someone elses post properly on this site?

Thanks

Hello to all. I've been browsing this site for a while now, but I just joined recently. Hoping to contribute as well as benefit from the RFD community.

[Dark-Colonel]

When a seller is selling an item that is so cheap that is too good to be true, has no reference, is not willing to meet up locally, and has no pictures . . . than it is a hoax because it's a scam :D

Yes I'm also captain obvious ^_^

[MoonGoose]

Hey everyone, I've just joined today and i'm looking forward doing business here.

[cellochick]

Hi! I am a new member and I joined because I have a house full of cool stuff that I would like to sell because I need to downsize. I posted a garage sale starting tomorrow and going until the end of the week. You may finds things of interest on my list. If things do not sell in this time frame I am happy to set up times for people to come and see a particular item they might be interested in. Thanks.

[4as8]

Hi everyone!

I'm new to rfd, and it's all a bit intimidating. I live outside of toronto and will be going to school soon. I'm really trying to find a decent television to buy around a 42 inch, willing to spend up to 1000 if necessary, but hopefully keep it around 700 or 800. I haven't figured out how to search the forums for places to buy in toronto, or what stores I should be looking at. So far, my technique involves ctrl+f, and typing in tv. It's a long process. I was hoping for some guidance! thanks!

[ivegotfleas1]

Figured I should get my first post out there so......Hi, I'm fleas :D.

[ah9978]

is it too late to say hello after signing up one month later? was on the market for a laptop in August in some other forums, then linked here. Thanks to many RFDers and eventually got a Thinkpad T400 which is great:lol:

[jaydub99]

I'm a single dad in Calgary, been lurking here watching deals for a while, figured I should officially register. So there!

[FishingAddict]

Hello everyone! New to the site and just wanted to say hi. i actually stumbles across the site by accident but I love it.

[shooter1985]

Hey whats going on?

I was wondering how you give positive feedback to a buyer on here?

Thanks

[MasterMK]

Hello Guys!

I was long time lurker. Got a great deal of info on GPS Mio C520 I wanted to buy last year.(Boxing Day Sale). Brought Memory from Walmart also on sale.
Case was from Candian Superstore. (fits great). I wanted to use the search feature on Redflagdeals, so had to join.

Maybe this Christmas, might decide to buy LCD TV from Samsung 40" or 42". Finding the model will be fun. What TV works best with Satellite System. Currently looking at Samsung LN40B650T1f.
