An advertisement is an offer of sale, in public. By what right do you deny that to happen? Are back to tyhe idiocy of secret rallies again? I am not interested in the behind your back, in/out members cliques, within clubs and organisations, and all that pathetic nonsense that goes with it. You ban free information, you ban me, and I suspect a lot of other people who will smell something gone a bit off.
All the years I was trading I always admitted what I was doing. I did that as it is the fair thing to do. Full notice that anything publicly advertised was fair game. I never bought stuff that was only advertised in Club Newsletters. This never was good enough for the amateur traders, who wanted every advantage to tip the scale his way. When I stopped trading the animosity in certain quarters continued. That's their choice, and they miss out on many an opportunity because of it. But it says more about them than me. This suggestion ranks as those folk and is a very selfish suggestion.
Its really quite simple. If you want to buy something, go buy it. Do not stand around hoping the fruit will fall into your lap. If you want stuff to flip or trade, then of course, you will not tell anyone its for sale, and hope to nick it for a farthing. But do not tell me that this is the act of an enthusiast and institutionalise it. Its the act of grubby little men in sheds counting their spoils hoping the taxman will not find out. I am frankly very disappointed.
