Spoils it for the genuine guys who post in the section.

It reminds me of a note at the bottom of the posts from a well known member on here who has sadly recently passed away. The note went something like ‘Reminder to myself, don’t reply to wanted ads on here’
Very good observation!

Yes I may have been guilty. Asked for a working but tatty and therefore cheap HW45. Was offered a tatty and slightly incomplete worker. The price seemed a bit high so didn't go ahead. But I did get a response.

There must be a reason not to, but I wonder why the site does not combine Wanted and For Sale. After all who looks on Wanted unless very bored?
