Archie Procter Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I suspect this may be a reference to the amount of people linking their 'for sale' posts to ebay listings rather than selling them on here. Am I right 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 BTW my current crap is here 😬 😬 Nothing Caterham-related BTW. And nothing selling either ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMorris Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 If Nifty is less than enamoured by the number of the eBay linked posts then I don't think that he's on his own. Though it can be helpful at times. Dave. Edited by - DaveMorris on 18 Mar 2006 22:14:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Dave - complete hijack, but your wings look great - the stickers are perfectly positioned Let me know if you want tickets for any races - maybe Oulton or Anglesey? See www.graduates.org.uk for the dates. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 It was slightly tongue in cheek with regard to Seven-ups multiple listings. However, I do believe that the 'honourable' thing to do would be either to advertise here at a price and if they don't sell after a given time put them on eBay, or just put them on eBay and let the punters bid and if people from here are looking for stuff let them find it. I do find it irritating when people say they have something for sale and when you investigate they actually have it up for auction to all and sundry. It just doesn't seem in the L7C and Blatchat ethos to me. Just my thoughts. Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Brother Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Nifty, I didnt mean to offend anyone here. I was just letting people know that I currently have 7 related goods listed on ebay, that may be of interest. Every post clearly says that the items are listed on ebay. Before posting I looked in the guidelines and there was nothing to say that goods advertised on ebay shouldn't be listed in the "for sale" section. Maybe if you feel so strongly about this, you should pop something in the suggestions section and see if the guidelines can be ammended. I can think of quite a few people who have posted links to their ebay adverts, so honestly didn't think my actions would offend anyone. Steve SE7EN-UP!

Archie Procter Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Steve - I wouldn't take it personally (as I'm sure you're not!) - and if you hadn't posted on here I wouldn't be one of the watchers on your carb balancers . It's a difficult one - to some extent I agree with Nifty (for once 😳 😬) that it's not really in the spirit of "helping other members" - but then again if it links to stuff I want then isn't that a good thing 🤔 I just dread to think what would have happened if glop2000 had found ebay... 😬 I miss him BTW 😬 Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Nothing personal Steve, there are indeed a number of people who have done this. As I said it was written in humour, though I do have an underlying "issue" with advertsing eBay auctions. It is just my personal opinion that if you are going to advertise on here it should be for the benefit of the members, and not a notification of a general free for all to the highest bidder. I personally believe that if eBay is the route you wish to take to dispose of your spares then great but you have taken the decision to put them on eBay you also accept the associated risk of them not being noticed by those who might be genuinely interested in them. If you advertise on here then they should be available for purchase from here at a stated price (and this is written in the rules ) You wouldn't advertise in Low Flying saying they were on eBay, so why here 🤔 Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Incidently, when I set that link up and tested it I noticed the eBay front page had a link to Ferraris so I took a look. I just can't believe people sell (or try to sell) £50,000+ cars through such a web auction *confused* Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Robinson Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Have to agree with Nifty on this one. Why not stick things on here above your reserve price first, and then Ebay if they don't sell. More in the spirit of the club IMHO. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thats what I do. I notice though that the WSCC now have a special 'for sale' section for e-bay links so folks can check out Westfield related auctions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 That would be fair enough Graham if Barry wants to go to the trouble. Personally I'd like to think that L7C members would give each other first shout. If you miss out on that extra £10 because you've sold at a fixed price to someone in the know, rather than to someone who stupidly pays over the odds (often above new value ), see it as a contribution to the wealth of L7C and BC, which is worth a huge amount more in terms of the value of information and help.

Graham Perry Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Nifty, That is a fair point mate One other thing to consider though is that some links are posted here not by the sellers, but by others who just happen to have noticed something being auctioned by someone (who could be a non-member) that we may be interested in. Not sure how we could accomodate that if we banned all e-bay links Edited by - Graham Perry on 19 Mar 2006 16:21:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 an AA tie pin I did warn you it was crap!!! I'm sure it is rare and it's definitely Malaysian - who knows what people collect out there? Though as it didn't sell, clearly not Malaysian AA tie pins this week... 😳 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Graham, I'm not asking for all eBay links to be banned. I'm going down the Press Complaints Commission type route where we self govern ourselves. Thereby an occassional link to an item made by someone independent of the seller is not a problem. However, increasingly For Sale is becoming a page of eBay links posted by fully active L7C and BC members auctioning off their own stuff.

DaveMorris Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Andrew (aka Mr C.Racer), [hijack mode] glad that the wings are o.k. Fronts should be coming off soon - either due to the excessive cracking causing catastrophic failure, or with some intervention from me and a spanner. If you've got any spare stickers that would suit a black car then please think of me, [/hijack mode] Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
