    I thought there was fairly strict rules about buying/selling off the back of a valuation thread

    Some "members" use this site like hyenas. Marauding to pick up carrion at any opportunity, at the right price of course. They don't contribute nor do they observe the rules.

    I asked for a valuation. Nothing more.

    My intention was to advertise it later with photos on the correct forum.

    Someone who has bought from me before has expressed an interest.

    What was I supposed to do?

    I am not desperate for a buyer. The gun will sell itself.

    I take your point however, and will not ask for any more valuations of things I may intend to sell.

    Sorry if I have broken the rules. I did it out of ignorance, not intention.

    I'm guessing this was aimed at me, someone I have done business with before was asking about the value of something & I contacted him privately to express an interest should he eventually decide to move it on AT A FAIR PRICE! If in doing this I have broken site rules I apologise, however I do find the above post a little harsh to honest.
    Seasons greetings to all,
    John.
    ok, I admit it, I've got a problem.

    Please check your inbox John.

    This is all academic now gentlemen, as I have had to withdraw the gun from sale.

    Having checked it over the chrony again this evening I have found that it is not in a condition to sell. There is also a problem with the cocking lever which seems to be getting worse.

    In short it needs servicing.

    I will decide what to do with it over the next week or two. The art materials will have to wait.

    Sorry to have wasted members' time.

    It seems like the mods do not moderate all sections of the forum, my opinion is seller and buyer should both be banned for the same length of time, 6 months would be a good warning to others!

    Not at all. We read the forum, along with our other duties - but a bit of help is appreciated.

    Did anybody think to flag this up to the mods by using the "report post" function?
    (that's the little warning triangle at the bottom left corner of every post on this BBS).

    Arthur and John - You'll be hearing from me.
