I am the guilty party, for want of a better expression.

When we take an action it is only on the basis of what we see at the time we take the action. We cannot know who is preparing responses to it at the same time.

Inconvenience is of course regretted but I and my colleagues would appreciate it if members could familarise themselves with the terms of the sticky in the For Sale forum and we can only judge posts placed in that section on the basis of the sticky.

Too often For Sale has been abused by folk offering their items items on Ebay at the same time, there have been two instances in the past five days alone, one of which was reported to us by a member or we would not have known.

The section clearly states that it is for members offering their own items for sale so it is not the appropriate section for an altruistic heads up.

Respectfully,

Trefor
