Re: Is TUG Helpful?

[Q=ryanb354]On Tug, people are really cheap and trying to take advantage of sellers and developers. They brag about how to rip off the developers, they go to timeshare presentations for free breakfast, and they squabble over how to get a resale really cheap from another person, forgetting that to get that great deal, someone had to pay full price or they would not have it.[/Q] Actually, if you read the many posts and threads, you will see that most people on TUG advise against going to sales presentations even if there are "free" breakfasts or other incentives. And as for "[getting] a resale really cheap from another person", you might notice that it benefits not only the buyer but also the seller. In most cases, the seller is usually glad to unload the unit to another person for free in order to avoid paying maintenance fees on something that he is not using to the full. And if you're really annoyed that "on Tug, people are really cheap and trying to take advantage of sellers and developers", that's probably because developers and their sales people are just as unethical with their sales tactics. Now as for the original poster's question, my answer would be "depends on whether you are talking about TUG's public forum or its Marketplace."
