Buy and sell to/with people you know.
Maybe that's the answer. Although in saying that I've had some very good transactions both ways with people I'd never have met otherwise. Just lately I've been dicked around by buyers and sellers and it's a pain in the arse, especially as you tend price stuff cheaply for the forum too.
I could just use ebay but I would like the marketplace here to remain vibrant and with the consistent bargains I have known.

Sorry correcting my spelling on long responce is very belittling and bitchy....
Yep, that's the whole point.
You're still clueless about this forum I see then.
Take a deep breath, spend some time not selling stuff and being defensive, and this might just work out for you.
You made a mistake, it's easily done, but you dug this hole and you're making it bigger.
You clearly have a lot of stuff to sell, so whether or not you're perceived as a bad trader or not, is up to you. Perhaps you'll take people's advice.
I don't have the time or inclination to read paragraphs of your thoughts so save yourself the bother.Out.

...Buying and selling on here is ***becoming ***a pain in the arse as people are not backing up what they say. It's a fucking honour system people, which means it needs some honour.
IMO it's been a pain in the arse since I got here. Allot of it has to do with the fact that missioning it around London picking up and delivering shit is a hassle.
Plus (although I haven't checked this) I suspect the mode average age is somewhere around 16yo. So you do seem to get allot of dibs this or that, when they're never actually going to be putting cash in your hand.

Agree with Hugo the dibs system is most weird there was a classic on the for sale a couple of weeks ago a guy was selling a pair of Swabble Marathon tyres for a tenner and someone said can I dib till I check my bank balance ffs you must know weather you have a tenner,and I am still waiting to hear from a seller about a pair of cranks I said i would have but still not been in contact,its a bit of a lottery sometimes.

I think the "dibs" system is a pile of wank. Whenever i sell something i make it clear that the its the first person to cross my palm with cold, hard, cash.
Fuck Dibs.

this thread is retarded.
The forum police need to chill out a bit, I understand the intent of this thread is to improve classifieds and to try to ensure people don't get burned but ffs people do you really not have anything better to do?
-
• #1163
This appears to be aimed at me, so I would counter with stating that your argument is full of double standards.
You telling the forum police to chill out is policing us.
And then berating us for not having anything better to do when you've got time to read and post with your opinion.
Justsayin.
If it wasn't aimed at me them ignore ^ and sorry.
I obviously didn't mean it to escalate as much as it did, I just said it's a bit off, which it was. He didn't help the situation and then people get caught up with defending their corner / the forum.
Whatevs, it didn't need to be a big deal as I said. -

And just to draw a line under it all...

It wasn't aimed at you Wicksie, but yes more muscle men.

• #1166
I do take your point though.
Don't forget the women.

posted this up in No.1's Kona thread but thought it was worth putting it here as well.
The forum has a wild west classifieds and this here thread instead of outside moderation, because that is how the forum populace wanted it to be the last time something came up and a discussion was had.
find the thread relating to this discussion below
do you want rules for classifieds
http://www.lfgss.com/thread19670.htmlif the temperature of the forum has changed then another discussion will be had and either more rules/moderation/donations/subscriptions will be formulated. Until then the classifieds will continue to be policed as it has been..

Dibs works. Dibs are transparent and clearly time-stamped.
If you disagree you're basically an IKEA bag of cocks.

just read all the above about no1 and, honestly, wtf?? the guy is new and asked for advice when he didn't understand the rules. as far as i can see he has done absolutely nothing wrong, am i missing something? he didn't know so he asked, things then spiralled out of his control (his comments after the question and advice clearly show him trying to do the best thing) and he lost a sale. this forum is different to others and it can be hard to understand the full rules as a newbie. i have never sold anything so i never had to read the rules about the classifieds but surely he can be forgiven for missunderstanding and even asking for advice!? anyway, rant over, as you were.

I have no idea why I too have just waded through the No1 debate. I agree with Balki.
Right can we all move along now, nothing to see.
