Buy Sell Swop
 
if people dont want to buy a particular item,should they be making comment's in the ads,sometimes an ad can become a farce,you would think people would have better thing's to do with there time,i think it should be added to the rules,if youv'e no interest in an ad keep your nose out:eek:

Personally I don't have problems with people commenting on mine. It keeps it bumped to the top :)

This thread is of course by somebody who doesn't like their own threads being commented on but is quite happy to post links on other peoples threads to cheaper prices. Total double standards.:mad:

Re: Buy Sell Swop
 
Some of the comments are completely justified if members are looking out for other members as we often do on here..

I would have no problems commenting even if I wasn't interested if I felt the description was vague and needed more info and as Lancsdave said it keeps it bumped to the top :D

I got the impression you were asking for a general rule, I didn't realise you were still bleating on about your laptop. I would suggest if you don't like the way the forums are run, it's simple don't post :)

On a Thursday a local primary school had a brick thrown through a window and a laptop computer stolen. On a Friday a character called treacletart comes on Accyweb selling a laptop. He/she is, to put it mildly, vague about the specifications and seems to take great offence when asked. Probably just coincidence, but there again I'm just a busybody with nothing better to do.

welcome to the Internet, its a place of free speech. As others have said if you don't like it here don't post. As it happens in regard to your other thread, I often get asked by people to keep my eyes open for good deals on laptops etc. If you remember correctly I even pointed you towards a prospective buyer but then you come on having a go at me. I asked a perfectly reasonable Q and you go off on a huff. I'ma big boy, I'll get over it(well I would if it had bothered me at all in the first place). You should however start thinking a bit more about courtesy and politeness if you want me and a lot of others to have any respect for you whatsoever.

The other thread that was posted on a similar topic was closed.....it seems to me that it is treacletart who wants something better to do with his time......after all it is he/she posted this thread.

This person got it spot on,there's a lot of lonely,jealous people on accyweb,i dont despise or dislike you,i just pity you and really feel sorry for you poor soul's,PLEASE READ BELOW

Why is it that every thread in this forum seems to turn into a slanging match between the posters? People just seem to want to bleat and whine at each other and look better than the other posters. Nobody is putting forward actual facts in an informative way. Nobody is suggesting legitimate solutions to the topics. Can somebody please tell me why that is?

Strangely it seems to have done so since you started posting, as for your first comment did you read it before posting you condescending individual???

See my rep figure, thats Karma, 99% of which has been gained by helping people on Accyweb, you could consider why you seem to be so against me when clearly a lot of other people have no beef with me.

Introspection , a word you might want to look up

Re: Buy Sell Swop
 
Why have you started another thread to have a go at people when the original one where you were doing so was closed by the moderators? There is nothing abusive or antagonistic in someone asking you a perfectly logical question about an item you are trying to sell.

Sometimes I've posted ads and people have asked me questions about the item to clarify if it is what they are looking for or not. I have never objected to answering any such question and have never ever responded with sarcasm to a serious enquiry.

Yes there are times when we have a bit of light hearted banter going on - that's the nature of this forum and if you don't like it no-one is forcing you to stay. But there's a difference between the friendly banter and the nasty way you treated two people who asked you to clarify something about an item you were selling.

Really? Where would that be? I must visit them in my sleep :D Why didn't you just leave it alone? The thread had been closed but you chose to bring the subject up again here and then when you get a reply you don't like you ask for the subject to be dropped. Do make your mind up.

Re: Buy Sell Swop
 
Well I obviously must waffle in my sleep - on all these other forums where I'm so well known for popping up to annoy others like you.

Are you going to tell me which forums these are?

Do I now have to ask your permission before posting anywhere on AccyWeb?

Point one, this is not an auction site. You did not 'accept a bid'

Point two, the two perfectly logical questions regarding your item for sale were posted before you announced that it had been sold.

Point three, you were the one who turned the thread into a farce.

Point four, the very fact that people asked for more details showed that they actually were interested.
Most people would answer questions as politely and accurately as possible - you didn't.

If someone was willing to offer you £125 for something which you had hardly described at all then good luck to them. I wonder who it was.

I can't imagine getting much response if someone placed an ad which said "Car for sale, red one, full petrol tank - £5,500" Wouldn't you expect people to be asking the make, year, model of car and mileage at the very least?

You missed point 5 willow

Point 5 - Treacletart is now banned so can't sell anything for time being anyway!!! :rolleyes:

Obviously you never read his posts. He is a chilled out guy who does not upset people even by accident(unless they ask for it).
He often goes out of his way to help others and is one of AccyWebs better members.

Come back when you know what you are talking about.

Edit the above line as I just noticed you have been banned :p

Re: Buy Sell Swop
 
To be honest, as much as you didnt like the comments on your thread about the laptop, its very cheap to sell a laptop for £125 and people will obviously want to know the specifications of it as it could be a huge bargain or it could be equally hugely suspicious.

I wouldn't buy a laptop for £125 if the seller didn't want to tell me the speicifications in their advert. I'd assume they were hiding something from the public by not giving full details in the ad.

I'm sorry your laptop got stole Yerself aswell, I'd be really upset if somebody stole mine.
