Not being pedantic, Nich, but does that mean if someone posts "Wanted: a Gubbins", and someone replied to the post "Ï got a Gubbins if you want one", then unless he/she stated a required price in the reply you would summarily just scrub the reply-post ?????Originally Posted by Nich
That's utterly, totally crazy; can't see how that could be in anyone's interest?
... but pretty well exactly what happened in this case, as I see it.

It's simple and stops the potential of a dutch auction David. No price guide, no post.
Nich moves the original post into the moderators area. Once the price is known the post reappears. If Simon and Jezza continue privately via email etc then I have no problem with that as the forum is not contributing to the potential of an auction. As I mentioned on another thread, a few years ago a situation arose were the price of something being sold escalated and was not to the benefit of members as such.
People don't read the small amount of rules we have for this site and that's why this occurs so I'd not be going negative on a mod who has to make a judgement. Black and white, no ambiguity.

Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.
No such implication was intended; sorry that you inferred from my post that you should do so.

Sorry I had no intention of causing a debate on forum rules! If JEZZA could PM or email me that would be appreciated. Thanks Simon

ZT 260 No longer wanted!
Hi, I've now agreed to buy a 260 and am picking it up next week.
I've hummed and harred about buying one for years! Really pleased with myself for taking the slightly irrational decision to go for it!
Regards
Simon
congratulations
you won't regret it, and you'll wonder why you didn't do so years ago maybe
which one did you go for?

Many congratulations Simon, welcome to ownership. If you PM Tim for a questionnaire you can get full membership which will open up a whole world of info on the 260's.
Glad it worked out for you.
