I appreciate your sentiment by standing by your friend, but rules are rules
I have sold here for quite some time, and every thing I sell here is listed exclusively
I have a small blog I use for documenting builds and hosting pictures, but I don't sell directly from it.
your mate listed on numerous other sites, including marktplaats,and placed adverts on marktplaats requesting to buy Kogas (http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/fietsen-en-brommers/fietsen-racefietsen/m645048450-vintage-koga-miyata-racefietsen.html?c=)
this action alone contributed to the rise in Kogas prices at source, as any vendor seeing your friend's listings in Holland raised their own prices , which reflected on buyers at LFGSS having to pay higher prices for exported models.
The same as "Arthur" from Heswick, a nice enough guy, but he expects ebay.com prices by listing on marktplaats, which could be argued has contributed the same way to the rise in Colnago prices at this source.
The good people who built this community deserve the respect of having exclusive listings only on their site.
