... - but do I want Murph to tell me every day what's on offer - no I don't   I'd far rather stumble on it  :)

Then don't read Murph's posts, or any of the other posts in this section.
No one is forcing you.
or are they?.....

Okay we have seven days don't vote yet ! Let's hear the arguments ? I can't see one for flagging them up so what are they aren't they just spoilers ? What am I missing ? Ready to be persuaded  ;)

It's just an opinion Jim ! Anyway would anyone deliberately not look to see what's flagged up .

Some of the cars that are flagged up I never even knew existed I'm learning by all your knowledge even if it's ebay

I recently posted here about a couple of new-old-stock Villiers engines that I knew were for sale elsewhere.  Should I not have, then?  (I understand the posting has resulted in a sale to a forum member.)

It's easy to say, "Oh, that was useful, because - unlike eBay - it was a little-known sale".  But where is the line?  And if I may not post about a "widely known" sale, how can I know its width? 

I had, and have, for example, no knowledge at all about how widely-known the sale of those engines was.

Sorry all.
I can't please everyone, but I am just informing all on cars for sale.
Yes, it may be fairly annoying, but I would love to see some (more) activity on this subforum, as I have been viewing as a guest for months now.
Hope you all understand.
Thanks,
Murph.

I have moved the discussion about this from another post to this POLL post, and merged the topics.
In doing so, the forum software laid them out chronologically, so now it looks like Richard started this topic.
I don't know how to fix it and I don't think it matters and if does, you will all just have to suffer until next week.  :P

Again am I too simple or what ? Hi murph by the way and this isn't personal  :D what I ,and its only my opinion which I am entitled to voice   , was not keen on was that Murph has announced I thought anyway that he would be regularly ( daily ?) posting a full list of all micros on eBay and that's what I wasn't keen on its going to take all the fun out of eBay isnt it ? What's next will we have a daily list of all villiers parts or literature or whatever  ?

Depends if you have time to wade through eBay ads and the search engines multitude of bum steers. Personally I rather like that someone has done it for me. I hardly ever look at eBay USA, for instance. Do I hear the hobby of a long distance salesman in accommodation here? You still have a world to look for bargains on Craigs List.

That's exactly what you hear Al and if Craig is Murph he has made my case time and time again . I haven't really heard anyone make the case yet for the daily flagging of everything

Well I think what you have done in one easy move is to make it nigh on impossible for you ever to own one in the near future .if your current uploading continues prices will go up not down . Chances of a great find will be lessened  :'(

Hi Mr. Purton,
Thank you for both the welcoming and information :)
And no, I do not own a microcar. I have seen a few in person (Crosley at local car show, Crosley at Henry Ford Museum in Detroit), and have loved them ever since. I am only 17 years old, from Canada, so I don't really have an opportunity to buy one, although I'd love to someday. I enjoy the fact that they are a) Unique & Different, b) Cost less ( Not always :p ), c) Easy on gas.
If there is anything I can do to make this a better forum, let me know.
Take care,
Murph.

Dont tempt me!
