I'll confess, I'm a little unhappy about having my thread locked for the reason of "back door trading!" I purposely avoided any kind of serious response to any members who expressed an interest who aren't signed up for the group buy, and yet still the keys came jangling...

 

The sole reason I didn't renew my Trader subs is because they aren't cost effective. There are forums out there with a much larger member base who offer everything that £100 would get me here, but for half that amount. I mentioned that to The Powers That Be but it couldn't be matched. So that was that.

 

One thing I absolutely haven't attempted to do is trade via the back door and, if I'm honest, I'm a little resentful that I've been accused of it. So what I shall do, when the GB work starts, is email pictures to the relevant members so that they can update their own threads with the progress. Then I can't be accused of anything untoward.

 

I can think of a few members who are far more guilty of back door trading, either currently or in the past, than I'd ever be. But hey ho... such if life....

Just ban him. Force him to buy a Celica.

Their “traders fees” are £45, I can hear his arse clamping up from here! :pinch:

Well, this has all got a little out of hand whilst I've been off buying a car...!!

 

I'm not and haven't judged anyone for locking the thread that started all this off. My only gripe was, as I've already said, that I've gone out of my way to avoid any kind of "back door trading" but ended up getting tarred with that brush anyway.

 

Gaz: I've not turned on you in any of this. You have a role above and beyond "subbed member" and I appreciate that. In hindsight, you could've probably just axed the thread at the beginning and dropped me a PM. But it's done now and, somewhat surprisingly, I'm a bloody trader again!

 

Which leads me to....

 

Richie: truly, God's Perfect Idiot! I do appreciate this but you don't think I have enough work to do, man...??!! :lol: But thank you - even though funds were never the issue for me, it's rather humbling to find that I appear to be rather well thought of around here...

 

You may all change your collective minds when I put a current price list up, mind... :rofl:

Oh god he's worked out we actually like him......... and he's put the prices up knowing we'll pay for his quality wares........... Damn you Si for your temptation..... lol

And just to piss him off even more, the banner is now enabled as another anonymous donation of £15 was made.

 

Better get sewing buddy as lots of new customers coming your way !
