Jonnyrau, you've had an opportunity to speak but the ban still stands as this is not the first time you have done this on CC.
The CC forums are for members to inter-trade with each other; they are NOT a marketplace for traders and it is not in the spirit of this community to take items intended as "free to a good home" and sell them for a profit elsewhere.
You could have gone about this differently; you could have offered the bike back into the CC community, or you could have asked Mark if he minded you selling it, but unfortunately you didn't.
Whilst there is nothing to stop you selling items you've acquired from the CC forums, you took something for free that the giver intended to be used for pleasure and you turned it into a quick profit.
I'm going to close this thread and would appreciate it if you don't register any more user accounts here.
Equally, I would also appreciate it if members here do not go bad-mouthing Jonnyrau on other sites / forums. Action taken here is reflective of Jonnyrau's conduct here - his conduct elsewhere should stand on its own merit.
I would hope, however, that as a result of this you will reflect on how you inter-trade at other sites / forums, and be a little more conscientious and considerate in conducting future transactions.
Thanks,
Shaun
