I need to start this with; I love this forum, the character, the technical knowledge and because of it, I typically buy my parts from Pelican as I see it supporting the forum area. (Two door seals and an ignition switch this month).
I also enjoy the ‘Porsche cars for sale’ thread and have bought two cars via Pelican as well as sold two via the forum.
But, it does seem weird, that you can cross sell here via BAT, eBay and other forums (sometimes with the weakest description or even just a title and link), but then request that people put prices on their meticulously crafted adverts.
I agree with putting prices on, so how do others get away with cross posting to auction sites? Somehow just doesn’t seem that fair. (I know, life’s not fair…)
Also, it frustrates me a little that WTBs seem to be proliferating and getting away with posting in the ‘for sale’ section (and probably where I’m a little butt hurt lol) while others correctly post in the WTB or WTT section and get less traffic. Again, doesn’t seem fair that those that follow the rules suffer for it.
I guess being a rule follower, I should just copy others example and do the other next time I’m seriously in the market again. It just doesn’t seem very respectful (probably the Englishman in me showing through).
I’ve been meaning to post about the auction link thing for a while but now the WTB thing has hustled me into action! Gripe over.
