To Martin, Bob (Shipmate60) and Richard (Dickyd).
I posted my Battle Class in the Sales section a few weeks ago at £400 I only had one member reply on behalf of a mate of his, in the end his mate was not interested.
I then dropped the price to £330 and still no sale.
I then decided to sell it elsewhere which is working so I said the 'Sold subject to auction ending 30th Aug'
I had not broken any rules, I had not added a link or said where the boat was being sold, I was just letting members know the fact it was sold but if they were interested there was time to p.m. me to find out what was happening.
Then Dickyd came on to the thread and broke two of the 'Sale board rules'
7. No "Bumping." ( Please see:
http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=23522.msg231363#msg231363 )
He clearly was not interested in buying the boat so his post just bumped it to the top of the list.
4. Ebay listings are not to be duplicated here without prior consent of a moderator.
He also then mentioned the name of where it is being sold.
This also resulted in in a discussion by other member agreeing that I had not broken the rules.
Now I assume Dickyd has reported it to the Moderator 'Shipmate60' (both in Southampton so I assume they know each other)
Shipmate60 then removed my post without telling me or getting my view, surely he should have only removed Dickyd's post for breaking the two rules!
