look people, i'm just a dancer who started performing months ago, and bought so much stuff from the excitement of it all. so recently i went thru my closets and decided what i'd absolutely keep, what i'd absolutely sell, many new items never having been worn, and then offer the best deal to other dancers here at bhuz. i am NOT a retailer, don't own a store, or make clothing to sell. i was selling my own merchandise and i have friends who can attest to it. why do good things have to go sour? and more importantly, why wasn't i approached first and asked to explain my selling of new items before my threads were deleted and i was told i must be a retailer? i've been categorized as something i am not and injustly so! i realize my post here could get deleted too. if it does..i'm gone.

Well that sucks, but on the flip side, I know people (sometimes myself included) get a little irritated when someone brand new comes on here and one of the first things (if not THE first thing) they do is sell their stuff rather than contribute to the conversations going on the other boards. Someone probably reported you (I don't think Rosey sits on bhuz all day and waits for violators). I think people like to see Bhuz as a community where we all know everyone and most people have credibility. When someone new comes on and starts selling stuff without any cred here on the boards, it makes people uneasy since these are big monetary transactions without having built any trust.
