Is this guy on glue Al? Does he think that nobody on here know's what various items are and how much they're worth??

Jamroll · « **Reply #2 on:** March 17, 2012, 03:25 PM »

I'm guessing he must think we came down in the last shower

...I'd be surprised if we see to much more advertised here.
I guess the Museum or Rewind could be the next stop

Parasites really take the fun out of what's meant to be a hobby.

To be fair Guy (Gmac) has obviously (for whatever reason) lost the love for the hobby - his decision and I respect him for that, we all have our different circumstances and he believes the time has come to part with his collection.

From previous threads, he clearly seems like a top bloke, i've no reason to think otherwise, I am a bit puzzled though as to why he's offered Stephane the job of shifting his stuff. I'm guessing Guy has had hold of this stuff for a while and i've no doubt that he paid a lot less for it than it's worth now, let's face it, things have shot up recently.

What I am a little fooked off over is that Stephane is rocking up on this forum with his random, bizarre prices. He is so clearly trying to earn himself a nice little (huge) wedge, and at the same time take the p!ss out of us Radsters.

I'm not minted, I build and buy what I can afford, but even if i'd got 6 numbers in the lotto, I certainly wouldn't buy any of this stuff and line the pockets of this sh!tehouse bleeder.

Well it certainly looks like he is making up prices, and adding on to what Guy asks for. He gets touchy though if you quiz him so be nice dudes.

I don't know skywayman and I don't know guy but for ffs marking prices up like this and selling in this manner is just pushing the hobby further and further away from most folks reach. It's a piss take so I hope people don't entertain these sales and buy naff all and maybe the items may be offered at a reasonable price.

Herein lies the problem. There's not much moral integrity and a lot of hypocrisy on here at times from some people. I've seen people slag off others to no end......until they list something they want to buy, when it returns to 'mate' status.

Desperation is a sad thing to behold

Gotta say I've felt like radman all week (no not Lee and I don't want to feel him

) but so many people have PM'd me and said 'get ready for the 'hi mate' and 'I live you comments'.

Seriously though, although I've made profit on what I've been luckily enough to get hold of, my main priority was to sell fairly, honestly and at a price that people are comfortable with and to members here and on my own forum. I think if you want more money and maximum gain then Ebay is the way.

I can't remember in such a small space of time when I've read so much abuse on here in Sales threads, which is a shame really and I'm sure much of it comes from the demand for high prices and the rarity of original parts.

Let's hope it settles down quickly and doesn't spill over or hang around by the time MK arrives.
