Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(

[jasongtr]

i think imoc can certainly do a dealine on the age of the threads, i think they get auto deleted after a certain time in the wanted section

[ancient mariner]

in my humble opinion,
anyone breaking cars on a regular basis,is trading.
not a private seller.
and should advertise in the trade section.
as i have said before it takes the mick,out of genuine members
who sell the occasional item, or are breaking their own car.
not having a go at anyone, just saying it as i see it. paul.

as a private trader we pay more for the privilage, then if we go over a certain number of cars then we pay per car in a certain time.

not sure what you mean by private trader Jason.
and if someone is listing parts,rather than cars for breaking.
how does anyone know how many cars a person is breaking ?

[jasongtr]

sorry i meant private affiliate, i guess if the see different colour/types of cars they would know

i dont break many so it hasnt effected me yet

[Driftlimits Performance]

well I think I'm going to list every individual nut and bot and take over the for sale section.

Ahhhhh that's already being done!?!


It used to be great. A big mix of people selling a huge variety of parts. It used to be an Alladins cave. Now, its black mirrors, black bonnet, black light covers rar rar rar. You put it in cars being broken. Surely. Picture of the car, job done.

It's a car forum, not ebay.

Luke its a joke we have sub forums for body work and wheels which doesn't get used boils my pi55

There is half a dozen body threads in MK2 parts for sale

I agree 100% its not what it used to be

the private seller thing is a joke

[jasongtr]

some breakers have never used the breaking cars section ever

[Leakie Tbar]

Which Breakers?

Affiliates stick to the affiliate section.

Jason I have no problem with your particular style of posting apart from listing bodywork in the MK2 section, but that's my own gripe with many members

Its the endless single posts one after another instead of listing one car as breaking, and posting in the wrong sections

[jasongtr]

there is a private trader who does it

Looks like he got the right petrol pump !!

Yes, taking over the section and continually bumping. It just aint cricket

[raptor95GTS]

whatever rules are in place people will try and bend them but it's too easy if no one actually enforces the rules in the first place.

I think foxy-stoat suggested max 10 live threads per seller at the one time, seems reasonable though I'd make it 5.

Shouldn't bother discussing this guys the majority of the committee don't seem to give a toss.

Helpful then!

I admire your honesty lol

Honest...!

no doubt you will get a little telling off by the 'others'

I like that on the GT4OC they make you include certain info, otherwise the post is removed. Most importantly, a picture of the item with a piece of paper with your username written on it.

It's stopped me posting the stuff I have to get rid of as until I have it off the car and ready to sell, I won't have the picture.

It's also good to prevent fraud etc.

Hopefully something can be done?! I have a tin of bolts that I'm nearly ready to sell, then the For Sale section will be all mine

[Shmed]

I suppose the downside to that is that someone needs to check each post daily.....
