I regularly read the "for sale" section..
Just lately I seem to be noting countless "number plates for sale", and when you click to have a nosey the seller has only one or two posts at most.
Ive just been reading a thread with a guy with 4 posts (all on his own thread) has been selling a V4 type RA, and he was found out to be a trader because its in some autotrader as well.
Now, is it just me, or are more and more people like this registering with this fantastic free service just to make a few quid from the regular users? Im starting to get a bit aggravated by it. I thought it wasnt here for that.....
Couldnt we have some sort of "minimum number of posts" or "length of registration with the Scoobynet" before we get all this blatant profiteering? Its starting to be like going to a car boot sale. Turn up and sell your unwanteds, then clear off and never come back.
Just a little whinge, it IS friday morning
An no, Im not going to "stop looking at the for sale section" (thank you Mr Constructive - you know ONE of you was going to put that)and I think its a valid point. I dont like what I consider to be an abuse of this BBS for enthusiasts.
Am I alone?

well you could always stop looking at the for sale section.
Sorry m8, somebody would of done it later.
Have to agree with you, plus with them not having posted many times how geniunue (sic) are they. Plus with the number of useless comments made it is getting a bit out of hand. Maybe time for some rules just like the first thread at the top of "was it you"

Good point m8
I am always wary about someone with so few posts selling or buying something. I've bought & sold 4 different things over the last 4 weeks (all persons concerned with over 100 threads). Everything delivered and all cash received without fail.
Restores faith sometimes.
