    Does Anyone Know Of This Oud Company?

    without gcms, you will have to just go with the mantra of: if you like it, use it. other than that, send to some1 you trust to have them agree or disagree with you ;)

    The marketplace was abused by at least one person who ruined it for all, won't name names , but im sure anyone who has eyes could see. Not that I care about new changes, but I don't think new changes will promote conversation. That problem is simply inherent in such a specialized niche forum...

    You're not the only one throwing that word around though. Ill chaulk it up to most ppl here not being English as a first language most likely Back on topic. Some ppl here use the marketplace to excess. Perhaps charging them would be a good way to make up costs. Additionally u could always ask...

    I meant no harm or insults at all, when I was talking it was just from my perspective and to offer a different perspective for the clique to consider. That's all. So hostility? Not me man. Completely misunderstood me. I mean yeah I guess I could have been more tipitoe around but that doesn't...

    /Inb4bunessecaryban Pretty much this is what I'm talking about. Got a different view point , then take it elsewhere. If u don't get on board and tow the line, you are pretty much not welcome around here. Perhaps ouddict you spend too much of your time regulating something which doesn't need...

    You are misquoting me or not grasping what I wrote properly, and assuming the worst. If u can't grasp that we as a forum are a fraction of a percent of the overall population of the planet, we an extreme minority, and the active posters a fraction of that fraction, and their zeal in general...

    That's a good suggestion and good insight. Thanks for spelling it out. Of course they will say : but we are oud lovers too! Well it sure is hard to separate personal and business isn't it. Thanks, hope some ppl take heed.

    If u think that's an insult then I'm sorry you feel that way. As for suggestions to make it more inclusive or whatever, I'm not sure. It's just a feeling I get and thought to throw it out there. Sometimes ppl on the inside cannot understand from the outsides perspective. Take it as you may or...

    I just feel like u made a problem out of nothing and are forcing a solution to it. Leave it alone. If ppl only wanna sell the oud then so be it. At least they are here and at least ppl benefit from obtaining the oils, and clearly they themselves are also buying oils. Forcing ppl to comment...

    Ouddict Forum Changes

    Those that replied and use the forum are the minority and seem to have a vested interest in oud. It is what it is. It's just a scent. It's never gonna be a huge phenomenonal super active forum. It's not something which will be so populated and active. At best you active members who post reviews...

    marketplace is a trusted environment. I have bought from 3 separate ppl whom I never would have, at decent deals off original price for "used" ouds. so far great experiences. the feedback section is great and useful also. the fact I only lurk around the forum now mostly is just cause I dont...

    First Time Oud Buyer, Looking For Advice & Suggestions

    Don't pay much bro. Buy the cheap stuff first so u can learn to appreciate the better quality in time. Region matters. Personal preference is the most important thing. Cost doesn't mean quality. Lot of hype regarding bubbling , weight, sinking etc. It comes down to what smell u like. Cheap...

    Oils Solidifying

    Well it's not unheard of to have sinking oil, but from the same bottle, supposed same batch, to have one drop sink and another float? Seemed strange to me. Needless to say I have not purchased anything more than those samples from that vendor.

    Oils Solidifying

    Now let's talk about what happens when you drop the oils into water. I got some from a vendor in Thailand and from the same sample one drop sinks and one drop floats lol. That one I have problems explaining away... As for solidifying oils, this is common in Canadian climate and nothing to...

    Oils Solidifying

    It's a temperature phenomenon for sure. Each is different. The real problem arises when you can see that some of a bottle will solidify at a certain temp range, and the other part doesn't. Fats in the wood is what I heard... You can solidify every oil tho for sure, just put it in a freezer and...
