Because you brought it out in the open, sold your opinion as truth, made wild allegations and will need to accept that some of us actualy comment on other people's comments. > > Yeah, just trust the wealthy. Poor people are all scammers and thieves. > Where did I hear that before? > I'm not sure where you mght have heard it before. Also you are implying things I didn't say. Answer me this: What is the probability that other rich people wishing to buy e-gold will do so from someone that appears to be poor? Therefore, it might be more beneficial for operators like Jim to deal with more establishged individuals. I am not judging anyone for being poor, but based on personal experience, poor people often can don't deliver as well as better-to-do ones, especially in what is essentially a financial service. > You guys are just lucky.

I took risks, fell twice and fell hard. Nobody really served me much on a silver platter. Although there are always some unfair advantages and I can't really evaluate your personal situation as I neither know who you in fact are, nor your upbringing, education, experiences, etc. > > Sure, we scale our franchise fees to the market and country applicants are > > bidding for and it can be as low as a few hundred dollars. > > If I had a "few hundred dollars" to spend as you say, I wouldn't become > the affiliate of anyone.

How can you believe that the database and engine of a siet like cambist.com could be bought for a few hundres dollars? No matter how small your company would be, it would still cost you substantially more to go on your own instead of using an established infrastructure. > ...I made the webpages of ar.cambist.net .

This has cost hours and money to get to where it is. --- the main reason why I responded to your post, or in fact Jim's was because I thought it unfair that you'd disclose personal dealings between Gold Barter Holdings and yourself on a public list. Moreover I wanted to point out that in fact you had been offered a pretty darn good deal. Indeed I was honestly surprised that Jim had actually discussed making funds available to an affilate. While it does happen that we don't charge any fees from franchisees, even register domains, build their sites and host them for free, etc., to date we never even thought about subsidizing their set-ups. But then, maybe that is the reason why we have quite a number of clients from Argentinia but no franchisee on location... Again, I don't mean to judge poor people, but I also can't understand why poor people assume that they have to receive special treatment? I fact we were involved in some micro loan programmes in some of the poorest regions on the planet and help micro businesses on their feet. In our experience poor people always go the extra mile and consider debt payment a question of honour. Your mistake in my humble opinion is not being poor, but using it as an excuse to publicly bash someone you've been working with. None of us here has the full details about your dealings with Gold Barter Holdings, so how could we know what really happened? It's not about wealth, it's about form and style of behaviour. If you achieve wealth, you'll see that money doesn't change one's style and being poor doesn't garantee honesty or integrity. 'Nuff said. Good luck.
