Wow, that put the Cat amongst the Pigeons. Only just looked at this as selling someone something useful at a fraction of retail isn’t high on my Agenda. Painting fences, looking after the Grandkids, cleaning the cars etc, etc.
Looked at Marco’s message, pleasant and justified and thought an apology and considered reply.
Tea cooked, stereo on.. looked on here , wasted valuable time reading all the erudite comments.
First post deleted, looked at the New Rules, forgive me if it seemed as welcoming as the Prison. Gov’s. lecture to Fred West on the first day!
For a repeat and consistent offenders possibly, for a newcomer, friendly people on here? Have read and tell me I’m wrong.
Posted for years, let me put the thumbnails.
Ok, tried umpteen free hosting sites for weeks, bad day, frustration, still lurking from my ad for free mags and mags for a charity donation being binned, but hey, rules is rules, more Landfill. Not enough imagination around to picture a pile of free hi-fi mags.
No price, copy and paste error, too wee pics anyway probably, enough time wasted.
Looked at these posts, Hannibal Lecter must have got nicer replies.
Inane diatribes, utter pish from would be mind analysts about my attitude,
Really not worth the trouble of being specific, well apart from the wee prick from the other end of the Kingdom, ”I’d have been interested bar for your attitude” – so you planned to drive up and pick it up or did you just fail to read the advert you sanctimonious little prick!
Wonder if all these keyboard warrior would be as ‘gobby’ in the flesh.
For anyone remotely interested, I bought and sold hifi around the Globe for 20 odd years, hundreds of perfect feedback on Audiogon and Ebay.
Do I need personal insults and vitriol from strangers who seem to relish being back in High School over the head of an ad?
I’ll desist from lowering the tone by suggesting what springs to mind..
Let’s just say Bon Voyage and Adios
Ok, Simon, first of all thanks for responding within the timescale set, and for (as highlighted) acknowledging that my message was pleasant and justified, which of course it was. However, you then go onto use invective, by referring to someone as a "sanctimonious little prick", which spoils the whole thing. That's unacceptable, as we don't use that sort of language to address each other here.
I can't be bothered scrolling back to find out who/what you're referring to, which has prompted that response, so I can judge the matter. Therefore, how about quoting the post in question and we can look at it and see whether there are any justifiable grounds for you feeling that way?
In terms of the matter of free mags for a charity donation, I'm completely unaware of that, so again could you please link me to the thread in question, so I can read what happened and make a decision on whether how you were treated was acceptable or not?
Basically, I'm trying to be as fair with you as possible, as I think you're a decent enough bloke at heart and would hate us to part company without first at least having tried to see if we can reach some common ground, so the ball's now in your court

Examples please, Bill? Trust me, if someone's acted out of order, and I've missed it happening, it will be dealt with. Equally, however, if you're making a mountain out of a molehill, then I'll say so too, but first I need to see *exactly* what it is you're referring to. Cheers!

Sorry, Bill, you'll have to remind me again, as I get around 20-30 PMs a day, about all sorts of stuff, so whilst I recall something about the matter, I forget who you mean. Therefore, either 'name and shame' here, or PM me again and refresh my memory
