NOS Grafton Re-entry levers - £280 and rising

Presumably, if the seller had been more active in researching the items they were selling, they would have put a reserve price on the auction.

By doing that the seller could not have been scammed in this way.

We would not have five pages on the rights of the individual, and a thread which certain members seem solely to be using as a platform.

In the end, if the seller hadn't been so lazy the situation would not have arisen.

It is the scammer's prerogative to take advantage of such sellers.

That is the reason why all auctions have the option to set up a reserve.

LloydsTSB have been asking for my account passwords so that their Nigerian head office can process the bonds that have recently matured in my name.

I won't be replying to the email because I am protecting myself and have done my own research.

People shouldn't expect free dinners.

Yet, we hate it when sellers start auctions at a high opening bid, or set a high reserve, and don't reveal it. So when a seller sells a cool, sought after part in a straight auction, we should hold that against him, and punish him with dishonesty; manipulating his auction; that'll teach him. All hail the scammer. That has got to be the dumbest post of this thread, and I'm not usually insulting, but come on, surely you can't believe the shit you just wrote, can you?

I'm not using this as a platform; I had full intentions of revealing the person, and having everyone be warned, but like most things in my life, I tend to over think them, and then get caught in analysis paralysis.

Oh well, sorry for troubling you with my continuation of this thread; I'm sure you had plenty of more important things to do today. I'll post again if anything changes in this matter, or on my end. Seller and Buyer beware; not everyone is who they appear to be, but I guess we all already knew that.

Well, I guess it is a platform for anyone here, but calm down, he also could have meant me, or any other that posted here. You see, it's not that easy with those vague indications.

but like most things in my life, I tend to over think them

I'm not entirely sure why an auction with a reserve is no longer a 'straight' auction.

Unless your understanding of a 'reserve' differs from mine of course...

When did I 'hail the scammer'...?

I said it was the scammer's 'prerogative' to take advantage.

That (again by my understanding) is an observation, not a judgement condoning or otherwise.

I have no idea whether the seller is male or female.

I am not that easily insulted, and it is your prerogative to believe what I wrote is shit.



But please don't all come round my house in a caravan to let me know how shit you think it is...

Must you skip a space after every sentence? Guess that is your prerogative, as well.
It's called using inference; you surely did not condemn the scammer's actions; rather, you praised his actions as advantageous, but you did deride the seller as lazy and ignorant. Silly me for thinking you were hailing one over the other.
Are you scrutinizing my use of the male tense; I'm guilty. Next time I'll be sure to use "He/She", so as to not offend your sensitivities.
Glad you are not easily insulted; that thick skin must prove useful. Thank you for informing me of my prerogatives, yet I don't think it's a right of anyone to insult another, less they are insulted first. I'm really not looking to insult you.
Regarding your caravan comment, referencing my caravan story, it's misplaced. The caravan was created to extract reparations from a scammer, not for dealing with someone with a dissenting opinion. If you are going to use pieces of my post, I only ask you keep it in context. Thanks
