Really?? Ya think so???

Here is the original question.

I am looking to buy a campground that has closed. Having a hard time finding them. Any suggestions?

The OP wants to know where to look for CGs for sale. He didn't ask for your advice on running a business or a validation of his idea. He also didn't ask if buying a closed park is a good idea. None of these respondants knows the OP's financial situation or business experience - again, his question had nothing to do with that. Later in the thread, he states that he wants to start from scratch. Who are you to tell him if that makes sense or not?

He's not asking you to support his business idea - he's coming to a place to where a simple question shoul dbe able to be answered.

So no - most of the responses have not been spot on.

Seriously - get over yourselves.

When you open yourself up to ask for advice, people give advice. If you are asking the wrong question, it is perfectly acceptable and appropriate to clarify that.

To blindly urge them off the edge of a cliff may technically be answering thier question, it's certainly not helpful.

If he really knows what he's doing, it is highly unlikely he would be asking a question the way he did. If we were getting it wrong, a reasonable presumption is he would come back and correct any misconceptions.

So somehow you know what his question should be?

If you tell him where to find closed RV parks for sale, he buys one based of that advice and then fails miserably, your saying its your fault for pushing him twoard it?

So what/who else in the world are you responsible for?

What better place to research CG's for sale than a forum about RV's? Well, maybe he just picked the wrong one. I'm sure he has gone elsewhere where people aren't as presumptious.
