You know what??
I'm RAPIDLY becoming jaded myself!
Had I REALLY explored this site FIRST, I probably never would have bothered!
Having said that, I'm still going to keep on at it....just taking a somewhat different angle.
Ideals are all well & good in theory BUT..... gaining reciprocated respect & getting people to put in the same (or even NEARLY) the same effort/time/money/money/money is a tad more difficult in reality.
SO I THINK I devised a way to sort out who's REALLY willing return like for like!
Whether or not it can be applied or ANYONE will actually get onboard remains to be seen.

Is this directed solely at the particular post of mine, at me, or at the general membership?
Respect is generally gained over a period in excess of six weeks which is how long you have been here. Your tendency to SHOUT AT US IN YOUR POSTS I find particularly annoying.
Having no trade feedback here, then offering an item for sale and only getting lukewarm responses is fairly standard practice in my experience. I dont see you as being treated any better or worse than anyone else with a similar approach. Withdrawing an item from sale and telling the members how ungrateful we all are is not a good way to initiate trading relationships.
I wish you well with your future endeavours. Without wishing to cause personal offense, The.Bullion.Boys sounds to me like the name of a gay boyband or a pack of standover thugs. Others may also have developed similar misconceptions about you.

NOOOOOOOO....
SO SORRY, that's not what I meant at all!
Was referring to MY little group and it's members lack of respect/cooperation!
I have the UTMOST respect for this forum & ALL its members.
As I said: Had a had a GOOD look at THIS forum, I never would have set out on TheBullionBoys project in the first place!
NO DISRESPECT OR JUDGMENT ON ANY MEMBERS OF THIS FORUM WAS INTENDED.
My apologies if you got that out of what I wrote.

As per that particular trade, it was ME that was embarrassed about that & the "shouting" was unintended caps-lock!
OH MY!
Could I dig my hole any deeper!?!

Thanks for clearing that up for me. 
Anyway, back on topic, Melb Eastern suburbs is too far away for a meetup for me.
Cost me $60 in petrol.
Probably a good reason to hold one there.

I'm really sorry...
I just read back on my comment & I see how you thought I meant I never would've bothered with THIS forum.... quite the contrary:
I never would've bothered with TBB "group" etc.
AGAIN by bad for carelessness in translating thought to keyboard & not rereading my posts prior to pressing "send"

Nahhhhh.... not even!
I'm a "Suit".... an Antique Dealer by "trade".
I'm possibly the furthest thing from "Fly" as possible and (don't think) I make any pretense to be so!
*WISHING THE EARTH WOULD JUST SWALLOW ME UP ABOUT NOW*
LMAO :lol: I'm just taking the piss M8 and I'm pretty sure the other guys are just having a lend of you as well (it get's pretty boring on weekends without the spot price to focus on).
Though you might want to retag the Aussie chapter to Bullion Blokes
and use inverted comas instead of YELLING for emphasis.Chillax

.......Oh and by the way: The Bullion Blokes sure has a certain ring to it!
Thanks for clearing that up. We need to remember that this is a text only medium. And what we say is easily misinterpreted.
This one has been a ripper.
Welcome aboard. See you at the next Melbourne meet. And let's shoot for an Eastern Suburbs meetup sometime.
Some of used to gather at the Wheelers Hill hotel for a couple, but it was more tell than show as there wasn't a private room.

A ripper indeed!!!
As far as Meeting Places in the Eastern Suburbs goes.... "The Wheelers" probably wasn't the best bet.
Not 2mins down the road is a "Best Western" Hotel with restaurant & function rooms. It's really quite a nice place as far as food, decor & service goes (VERY reasonable prices too).
It's got a private car park, security cameras and Private Function Rooms that are totally invisible to the rest of the venue.
IMHO I think it'd be an ideal venue for the next meet (I'm biased though....it's VERY local).
**Just a little note: I'm "Ex-hospitality" & am more than happy to help organize any future meetings with regards to scouting venues, dealing with the venue operators etc..
Just putting it out there.
