Hey,
Good luck with that.
I had the same thing happen to me and nothing was done about it,
Mods or not and so much for rules past and present.
SSDD and a new year to come,
He is the seller and can do what he wants and sell to who he wants.
And nothing will be done again,
Just as before.

Guys we can't possibly see every post. If you see a problem report it. If we don't know about it we can't do anything about it. Steven didn't issue us crystal balls.

[Doug Smock]

Lenny, Kent. Moved these posts out of the FS forum for you.

Tell us how to fix it.

[stadiumyamaha]

Same thing has happened to me in the past.
Easy fix. If you don't follow the rule you don't get to play any more.

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,
Offshore Electrics Forums

No comment, on the grounds that I may incriminate,
This is what I got for talking about it.

[JimClark]

Lenny not that it is any of your business I have PM'd the individual and will do what I can to see it doesn't happen again.

[JimClark]

There is a possibility that the item was also listed on another forum which is what I am trying to figure out now

Let me help you with that Lenny.

"Doug your lights are off, but lol your home.

Now, did you have a suggestion to improve the for sale forum, or do you want to continue to walk towards the door?

I have no problem with that.
I don't want to stir the pot here, my feeling is that there are two kinds of situation, one is that the rules are not followed or respected, the other is not having a clear understanding which leads to some unfortunate misunderstanding from both parties.
Just yesterday I came across a situation that could have resulted in misunderstanding, mind you that ALL rules were followed. The common sense of all parties resulted in a happy ending. The wording, timing ( or lack of) , and the item that is being sold all require a certain degree of perception from all parties involved, someone is going to lose out on something, but the nature of this F/S thread is just that, it is what it is.

6. ALL offers and deals must be done on the forum and NOT in private messages! rule changed to "Must" on 8/10/2012.

Perhaps that needs to be changed to read 6. ALL offers and deals must be done on the forum and NOT in private messages, over the telephone, text messages, etc! rule changed to "Must" on 8/10/2012. Since it isn't clear to all.

Another suggestion was to make it mandatory for the seller to post where else an item is listed for sale...IW, RRR, ebay etc....that way the buyers will be made aware that it may be sold elsewhere...
