There appears to be absolutely nothing stopping anyone from signing up and buying from the classifieds section on this forum.
If sellers are hellbent on their items going to active forum members for their sole use only they should state their terms in their initial post.
It's all good and well kicking off a hissyfit afterwards when something appears on eBay a week later but it's not exactly going to stop the supposed "problem".
I was delighted to sell my Bullit bike to a really nice chap through this forum, seemingly a good home it went to, which sure feels good, but not for a single moment would I give a single damn if he chose to flog it on for a profit next week. I asked for my price, item gone, me grateful, everyone wins. Especially when there's such an influx of incredible piss poor time wasters applying the "dibs" system - hell, if someone's going to come on a professional basis that day, be my guest.
Seems like a weird controlling authoritarian crabby attitude to insist somebody uses your unwanted belongings in a specific way after you've sold it. Move on. It's not yours anymore. Spend the money on something delightful like a trip to Belgium or a new crankset.
