Just so I understand, there's a rule that says you must post in the for sale thread if you wish to buy an item? And if you delete the post you must repost? The last thing I want to do is break any rules, however, I cannot find reference to that particular rule. If someone could clarify this for me that would be great. Maybe I am misunderstanding the rules, I wouldn't want to break them in future because of my own ignorance.
It occurs to me that there could be instances where a buyer would like to purchase an item without necessarily sharing that fact with the rest of the world, is that not allowed? I reiterate that this was not the case here as I have no reason to want to conceal my purchase of unusually sized tyres, but I have sold an item in the past to a person who wished the purchase to remain strictly between us, 'us' being me the seller and him, the buyer, which I respected.
Was that against the rules? If it was then I will be sure not to repeat it.
