Quote from RochRx7 : Why would you post stuff you know nothing about? How would you figure it be a slick deal? Just wondering.

I don't know about a lot of the items I post which make the FP. Have you ever noticed me there?

There are a few ways to know whether a deal is slick without knowing much about the product info. The obvious one is price in relation to what other vendors charge. In this case the same laptop for the same price was on the front page a few weeks ago.

Again... I posted this deal for people who may be interested in buying it. Based on some of the messages that people left when giving me reputation points there are definitely people who did buy it.

Don't take this as a slight and it's not necessarily directed towards you... But it's kind of funny if not sad how some posters in this thread who have made little to no contribution to SD are giving me advice on how to post deals when half the garbage they buy are probably from deals I posted on SD. Some people just don't get it... I'm not on any commissions and have nothing to gain by sharing deals on SD. I'm kind enough to give up my own time to try and help others.

Oh... I apologize if I "annoyed" you. It certainly wasn't my intent when posting the thread.

The reason the buyers/consumers feel they are able to give advice to Slickdeal posters is because they are the ones actually looking at the product for purchase. (except in the case of one troll that I won't mention here)

But it's helpful for us if deal posters put out the pertinent information in the title thats typically looked for.. (which is why you may get random troll-posters complaining about not putting out said info: price, resolution etc..) Do it in the future, and you'll avoid most trolls.

He could've just said, can you *please* put the reso in the title.. but he didn't so I understand your defensive stance.

Either way it's sort of a standard format or common courtesy to put things like the price, or if it's a rebate required deal.. but.. some posters (even ones that have been around for awhile) STILL don't put the price in the title etc..

Hopefully you get where some buyers come from when they lash at you without warrant. But I appreciate you posting this "deal" on a 1366 15.6" laptop anyway.

These attitudes are exactly what would lead to folks not posting at all. Now we have expectations that people be mind readers, people only post what they know about, people post to the expectations to those who would buy the deal, blah blah, blah.

What the hell ever happen to helping each other out

As already said, being polite, making suggestions to make the thread a better one is what everyone benefits from. All the bickering and saying it should be done this way for benefits of certain types of folks, no one is going to be sitting here saying, I wonder how this SDer wants to see the information, oh wait, this one will complain, blah blah blah.

Sad, as this site has gone up in popularity, the members have gone down in attitude.

Post how you like Gabe, you have other members who appreciate your contrbutions. Don't let these douches bring you down to their level as they would have nothing to complain about or consider buying if you didn't post the deal.

Thanks for the support blackblaze

Appreciative people like you are the reason I post deals

I get a lot more positive feedback than negative which is the reason why I'm still posting deals here and I do appreciate and read all the "thank you's" that people post in the threads I start. A simple "thank you" goes a long way some times.

Quote from RochRx7 : Why would you post stuff you know nothing about? How would you figure it be a slick deal? Just wondering. No offense intended. But it is rather annoying to not have the reso included anywhere in the original post. *for future reference* bud. Let's all hug it out.

You and Pzark41 are complete idiots. Offense intended. You bold the word annoying, *star* another comment, and throw out "bud" to someone in the negative all under the guise of "No offense intended." If you're going to call someone out then grow a pair and be a man about it.

You and a good chunk of this thread need to stop thread crapping and post something half useful to someone.

You can know if something is a good deal in comparison to previous posted products without knowing every miniscule detail about a product- if you can't connect the dots yourself you should keep your rudimentary thoughts to yourself.

OP- thanks for posting the deal.
