Sales section rules

[BAD DAZ]

Lads and lasses, can we make sure we read the rules in the for sales section before posting an add please, atb Daz

Ah well, Daz mate, I take it you're a bit pissed off ?

Thankfully no forum rules have been broken in this instant, admin would prefer members to state on the thread that they'll purchase the item but a commitment to buy via PM also counts.

So from the Venom thread in question, I take it that Dac41's PM stated his intention to buy, so beating your post on the thread.

Here's the part of the forum rules :-

I too alway believed the rules to have been...

First to say yes on the thread followed by a PM

I now see that is not the case but still feel Daz has acted in the more appropriate manner.

First to say yes on a thread followed by a PM is far more open, honest and fair. Isn't that what the BBS strives to be and in return expects from its members.

Johnj.

PS I am not saying the buyer or seller have done anything wrong, clearly acting within current forum rules.

You can always change the rules making a single specific route the CLEAR and only route to follow.

End of any disputes as I see it.

Have you done it the way it is described - yes/no

[Craig-P]

Apologies all, I think I may be to blame here.
I messaged the seller around 5.30am on the morning that the post was authored, saying my mate would most likely be interested in the rifle. I didn’t want to comment on the thread as the rifle wasn’t for me and I didn’t want to bump the post up.
So I think it’s possibly my fault for throwing a spanner in the works.

Hi Mick, yes you could say that I'm slightly anoyed, especially now I know I was the first to give a clear indication to buy, I think the rules need to be more clear so that this doesn't happen again, atb mate and I'll see you in a couple of weeks

[Rickenbacker]

I know what you're saying, guys, and there's nothing wrong with asking admin to have a fresh look at sales section rules.

In my opinion, this is a good rule:

We would much prefer that commitments to buy be made on the thread, to avoid any confusion or bad feeling, but ultimately it is entirely up to the seller who they chose to sell to, irrespective of whatever means is used to make that commitment. (PM email etc).

Some sellers choose to make admin's recommendation a condition of their sale i.e. First to post "I'll take it" on the thread, followed by a PM - gets it.

Other sellers choose not to, or choose to make other conditions i.e. Will not post, or Collection prefered.

I think we're going down a rocky road if we start insisting who a seller should sell his goods to...?

You can always change the rules making a single specific route the CLEAR and only route to follow.

With respect, you could always read the rules yourself my friend, and stop posting comments on sale threads?

Please do not chat, comment on, or bump, other people's sales threads. In short, if you are not selling or interested in buying, or answering a direct request for information, do not post on a thread. These actions simply bump the thread to the top and drop somebody else down

Surely if someone wants to sell an item on a forum that clearly states rules, then they should abide by the forum rules, if this isn't the case, then what's the point in having rules in the first place, atb Daz

Even if 2 people put ON the tread say they want to buy,

Its still down to the seller to decide who he wants to sell too.

Its his decision.

So what the rules say are irrelevant.

So stop crying, we have all been gazumped on the sales so suck it up.

Ooh tuff guy ay

Not at all, just saying how it is.

I saw the thread in the sales section and one person had posted "PM sent", then BAD DAZ posted he would have it if it was still available. It wasn't, so what's the problem Daz ? You knew there was a PM sent before you posted, so the rifle was potentially sold. The seller hasn't broken any rules.

As Murphy has said, we've all been gazumped at some point. No use moaning about it, just be ready for when the next one comes along... Good Luck

That's my old rifle (and my photos from my advert from when I sold it a year or so ago, too) ... You probably don't want to here this BAD DAZ, but it looks lots better in the flesh than it does in the photos, and shoots smoother than a very smooth thing on a special day for shooting smoothly, too (sorry chaps, it's the miscreant in me, I just couldn't resist ) ...

For ref however, as the o-p has edited out the price now it has sold (wish people wouldn't do that), so what was the advertised sale price, please?
