Expert Posts: 8490 Location: Midlands | Vauxbx - 27/7/2008 12:23 AM AdrianSi - 26/7/2008 5:39 PM See i definately remember the days where you PM someone...make the effort to go and actually collect an item (shock horror!) and be happy with said item... and this is before the days of MP this is back to PMC. There was a time when you would create a thread and recieve positive feedback...now you have to think twice just incase some "numb-nuts" decides to to post something to start a full on war... the amount of therads that dont end "happily ever after" on here is rediculas. Again internet culture as those who start the war are little more than a Keyboard Warrior in real life. Is this back in the good ole days when a Metro was worth more than 2 shillings and sixpence? It is not representative of internet transactions, it is hugely abnormal and probably due to the fact that they are a cheap disposable car, so are primarily owned by people who don't have much money and so fail to pay postage. To try to brandish every website as being as poor as this one for transactions is either daft or just plain ignorant. I advertised on here and got treated to the 10p gangster timewasters, they talk the talk but have as much ability to walk the walk as a f**ing paraplegic. Should I say I will avoid everyone? Nope you are totally correct, it is the influx of disposable buyers, buying a car for peanuts and then trying to perform the cheapest possible mods. So yes it would be back in the days of the Metro being worth more than 2 shillings and sixpence. Fortunately i stil deal with people who are grateful of the expertise avaliable and actgually listen  So no dont avoid everyone, there are some of us that talk the talk and walk the walk better than the 10p gangersters...sell Sh*te tho and we will still walk away!

Timewasters are indicative of every forum, it is part of life unfortunately. Take the case above where Ceberea was selling something then the guy manages to reply on the same day yet claims computer issues? Possible, but unlikely. Genuine enthusiasts are rare on any forum as when people get a windfall they tend to upgrade to a superior car, as harsh as it sounds in Metro world that means any other car on the market. Thats why people buying a cheap car and being able to justify time and money on putting these 1.8 engines in that everyone harps on about is few and far between. Most dreamers are probably just blowing smoke up their own arse as any car in mint/clean condition attracts a premium and it isn't worth doing it with a nasty nail which most are now. | |||

Bazil - 26/7/2008 7:13 PM Can I just say the phraseology you use reminds me of a user formerly known as Limecat. Am I correct? You will find it is regional coloqialisms or just a shared train of thought. It was actually Wayne that refered me here when I was selling a car so although you are wide of the mark I do know him, yes. | |||

metchimad - 26/7/2008 8:50 PM Cebera) you think I got the time to mess about with computers, when there busted. Further more mate i do 60 hrs a week work so since you got so much time on your hands, to make a thread about 10 quid you can kindly go braid where the sun dont shine, as you seem to be losing brake pressure............... Metchimad, You contacted me regarding the Goodridge hoses on 26th May which was a Monday and said you wanted the hoses. I provided my paypal address and you said you were going to paypal me the money over at the weekend, as you didn't have the £10 at the time  I never received the payment. I contacted you after that to chase things up, and you didn't pick that email up until Mid June. Under no circumstances have you tried to contact me since picking that email up, pay me or even give me the common courtesy of a message stating you didn't want them anymore. So I stand by my decision that you are a TIMEWASTER, and dealing with you should be avoided.  TBH I dont care how many hours a week you work, if you make an arrangement, stand by your word and keep to your promises. Otherwise it's just messing me, and others around. By the way, I'll think you'll find it's you loosing brake pressure, why else would you be looking for braided hoses.  | |||

Don't agree with this whole "should only collect stuff" business... some of us don't live within 10 miles of the midlands where 90% of this stuff tends to come from Tbh it's the same on here as with eBay... have a quick check and u soon get an idea of whether to do business | ||

Don't agree with this whole "should only collect stuff" business... some of us don't live within 10 miles of the midlands where 90% of this stuff tends to come from I wouldnt say thats a fair statement either... ive travelled up and down the country many a time for bits and pieces. I dont think it matters whether its a £10 item or £1000...if you want it you're prepared to put yourself out to get it...if not dont moan about it | ||

| I'm surprised this thread lasted so long without becoming a slagging match  tbh I posted before without thinking about what the thread was but on reflection I think this thread needs rules and shouldn't be for discussion. Maybe a tidy-up by admin is needed so the thread only shows in accordance with below? Other general comments could be moved to a different thread. Suggested rules. 1. Where feedback is to be left, the poster should put the name of the person in the subject box above the message and a simple description of the proplem. i.e. simply what has happened from your point of view and with NO silly comments as to why or name calling etc. 2. Feedback should be limited to 5 lines of text maximum. And comments more than 5 lines should be cut off by admin at the end of the 5th line. 3. The person who is the subject of bad feedback is allowed to make one reply only, which should quote the feedback left about them, their reply is then limited to 5 lines and subject to keeping to the facts as they see it. 4. There should be no further discussion by either party on the thread or by any other person. Any such posts will be deleted by admin. | ||

| cerbera - 26/6/2008 11:21 AM The opposite to the Good Feedback thread, please post up issues regarding bad buying/selling experiences or timewasters. Please dont make derogatory comments regarding the person concerned. This section will be closely watched by Admin to ensure it stays on track, and comments are constructive. and then......... cerbera - 5/7/2008 1:13 PM Metchimad - Complete timewaster, said he was paying £10 for some rear braided hoses over a month ago. I guess his paper round money hasnt been as good as he expected. Avoid. Chris, your own rules should apply to you too. Edited by Bazil 27/7/2008 10:44 AM | ||

| It was a tounge in cheek comment Baz as the item was only £10. | |||
