    Timewasters and messers!

    In order to qualify you must meet the following conditions:
    1. You must reply to any post with an item for sale immediately.
    2. You must agree to purchase the item.
    3. You must then ask for time to pay as you are skint.
    4. You must then not honour your agreement without any explanation.

    It seems to me that although we have a way to monitor sucessful transactions through the trader system, nothing exists to warn us about people who think nothing of wasting your time. It would be in everyones interest if such people were flagged up so we can make an informed decision about whether to deal with them or not!
    Of course, its a small community and word travels quickly!

      What we really need is to be able to post the correspondence. That way others can see who has said what to whom!
      Seems to me that we can't moan about people sticking things on ebay that would be useful to one of us, when we can't even be honest with other likeminded enthausiasts that we share a common interest with.
      Guess the answer is to use ebay. Wider market, usually better return and less numpties strangely!

          Claiming you're skint is a pretty lame excuse these days.
          If you want to buy something and can't afford it. Just borrow the £££ and worry about paying for it later. That's what most people do, allegedly.

          Freeloaders?

              I've had dealings with Robin (Twoqu) before and have to say he is prepared to do anything he can to try and help another forum member. Definitely did when I needed a particular crank.
              Someone must have mucked him about fairly badly for Robin to come out like this and no doubt they deserve it. Shame we can't all know who it is though?

                    Must admit Bo is helping me out at the mo, must take my hat off to the guy for the recent group buy and still including me in it. I do believe that name and shame is good (as I use it at work) but there are curcumstances beyond everyone's control. I could not actually run my car without the advice I have got of peeps on this forum, so everyone deserves a chance unless they take the p***

                        Not at all guys.

                        Planed this Plasma Group buy to help people out that had focked dials or fancied a change.
                        Most people bought in about 7 months ago - and as its taken almost an entire year to sort out i wouldn't even think about blaming someone if they pulled out or wanted to delay payment. Times change and so does priority.
                        Aaron and John its all good and they are still waiting if you want them or not.

                        All the best.

                          It is possible to leave negative feedback via the trader rating system also which should give an idea of what has happened

                              I also think the trader rating system should be used if someone has irked an honest trader. I've also done some deals with Robin (twoqu) in the past - top bloke and a credit to the forum. Its amazing the things he finds that come up for sale to the folk in this forum.
