The rules, which I read carefully before posting do not offer specific info for this situation.
I presented a question in a openly making my intentions clear and asking for help and feedback from the forum.
People who are using the forum for a relatively short time can not to be expected to be as knowledgeable about lfgss given etiquette as people who have been on the forum for longer.
The search function can be quite limited. Newer users can not be expected to read through thousands of hours of posts to search out info they need.
Mr Brown and the other bidder roryeaglestone where both sent almost the same PM about what had been asked on the thread, asking them to look at the thread again to see and respond on the thread openly so everyone could be happy.
roryeaglestone did exactly that declaring on the thread he did not want a bidding war.
Mr Brown who did all his bidding PM, did not he responded with another PM saying he would pay £100 for the frame.
As he was the first bibber by seven minutes anyway, I accepted his offer. (the extra £5 he offered didn't knock my greedy self backwards with joy)
About 30min later he got all touchy about the fact I had put his name on the thread, which I did exactly for the opposite of what some are suggesting, to be open - he obviosy did not look again before re-bidding - and canceled his bid.
I only critised him on the thread at this point.
You may get a fare few idiots around here, but just cos someone is a newer forum user it dosn't mean they are one or food for a "elite" user feeding frenzy.
You no the sort, make a popular statement like "Bricklane are w**kers" and wait for your mates to thoroughly agree.
I put the frame up for a cheap price to get a quick sale, but I wouldn't be selling if I didn't want cash. I was open on the thread about that for all to see. (go and look)
If Mr Brown and his mates wanna derail my sales by bitching about stuff on his bad words I will also be quite happy to print the whole PM thread.
I have lots of nice stuff to sell for good prices. Stop dirting my name, without the correct facts because you have not got anything better to do.
