Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members

Of all the things taught in universities the biggest loads of BS are economics and American history .

it does seem to be more common than before

We see the same thing everywhere. Driving is a good example. The rules of the road are set for a reason. But ... there is always the idiot who follows to closely, cuts everyone off or thinks the 65 MPH speed limit signs are turned upside down and really read 95 MPH. 

Had a crazy offer a few days ago,  I actually just took my listing down this morning,  I figured I'd put it back up in a few weeks.  And yes, it was a new member.

You can't take this personally, as you too were a newbie once upon a time. Newbies need time to learn the value of quality, as  they've been buying at Best Buy, Amazon and other lower echelon retailers. Just ignore the offer with a smile and allow them to learn from their mistakes. After all, you make the choice in your own mind to let it bother you or not. Choose to ignore it and move on. Why let it spoil your day by getting riled up?
