Beaten into submission here Im going for Ty Karim "Aint that love enough" c/w "Lighten up on HIGHLAND

My order has been cancelled by supplier, Sent2U. Product recalled. ROD

Most of it Pete is Alex posting clips, auction updates or other members commenting. Alex,if you sell a record just edit first post [as I have done for you] Similarly you can show current bid on first post rather than posting again. Avoids unnecessary "bumping" ROD [Forum Moderator]

You're right but members keep posting and interest doesn't appear to be waning. Quite happy to close it but unless thread starter feels it's run it's course I'll keep it open until the posts dry up. Personally I feel like I'm trapped in one of those interminable conversations that I seem to get dragged into sometimes when I'm out. ROD [Forum Moderator]

Moved it ROD

I only ordered mine at the weekend and am now fearing the worst. Went on Amazon site but order says it's from Sent2U. Anybody ordered and got via this particular outlet ? More importantly were they present and correct ? ROD

Locking this. Too much bumping. Scal, I think that's a fair question to ask in a different forum. ROD [Forum Moderator]

I take your point Nev but I do allow more leeway in here as we're not discussing a set sale price. However all this would be better in LAYB as it is constantly bumping the ad to the top of the listing. ROD

This ad belongs in this section. EBay and Website links. Merged with last ad. ROD [Forum Moderator]

Is it the 0.65 mm thicknesss pressing of Al Kent "you got to pay the price with reversed ZTSC # 770621. If so I'm quids in ! ROD

Would have been quicker to emend title. Merged two the ads. ROD [Forum Moderator]

I think you'll find Paul that most members of a certain age still have or had this record back in late 60's. A stepping stone into collecting. ROD

There is nothing to stop you and others saying that but if you do it on actual ad it may then lead to a discussion on the ad which will bump it numerous times depending on who gets involved. Some of those comments may be helpful and stick to the point but there have been such where I've had to split off as it meanders away from subject. That's why I suggest the LAYB option. You also now have the "tag" system where topics linked show up at the bottom of the page so a topic in LAYB should have a direct link to the actual sales ad Taking your example I may post along lines "looked at Popsike, could only find one goosed original" and then we could be into why there is a dearth of originals on there. Not everybody may agree with your valuation etc. ROD

You can post 14 ads per week. Less is more ? I do get the problem of those who split two titles between two ads. No need for it. There does seem to be a higher volume of sales recently so less ads mean that the ad stays on that front page longer and that's when the majority of actual sales occur. ROD

Just to clarify a few points. The site offers free listings really as a service to the members who are interested in buying or selling records. If someone posts regular lists of sales which members find interesting and attractive to the pocket then it would be silly to stop such listings just because the seller doesn't join in elsewhere. A case can be made for maybe charging a minimal fee to those who do that but though discussed we haven't gone down that route, as yet. Whilst a couple of people have referred to sabotaging potential sales, which I find ridiculous, it is also equally silly to think that by allowing ads to be locked the site is giving free reign to "scams, rudeness and greed" . I'm sure some of you have noticed that the site has booted off those who engage in rip-off practices and others have been warned where actions were thought dubious. The actual reasons why ads can be locked cover a few areas but "bumping" was a bone of contention for a while and by locking the ad [plus re-jigging the software system] the practice has all but ceased whereby each post put the seller's ad to the top of the listings. It still occurs but to a much lesser extent. I have to say I lock my ads mostly but I find it easier to respond to PMs which I see right away than having to check the actual sales thread which I don't always do especially if it's been running for more than 24 hours. The guidelines have always covered comments on ads. If you want to say something just open a new topic in LAYB. Nothing is sacrosanct on here. There is nothing the site can do to influence prices. Only discussion on here can have some effect. I'd hope free listings would see reasonable pricing on here, say compared to E Bay where listing and final fees are payable. Willing to listen to further suggestions that would improve current system. ROD [Forum Moderator]

Copy here. Nice condition. ROD

Nev, there is nothing to stop members commenting on other members' sales. There are comments on here about items on E Bay and John's auctions all the time. The only thing I do ask is that you don't do it on the actual ad as it tends to de-rail and "bump" the ad. The seller would then be entitled to feel hard done by. Otherwise pricing is open for discussion. ROD

I can't imagine John has anything unrealistically priced on his site. ROD

I've just sold Abstract Reality for £75. Well I had till you two "talked it up" in such glowing terms. In fact I'm reporting you both to Sales moderator. Moderator tells me to grow up. ROD

Yes sorry. ROD

OK J. Exceedingly hard to sell, Mark. In my experience anyway. Thanks for the plug though ROD

I know Pete. I read preamble. ROD

As you asked for comments, I would hate to see this sales forum go the same way as UK EBay. Full of boots and overpriced tat. I'd hope all members would strive to keep that from happening. ROD [Forum Moderator]

Merged two ads together. Before posting ads read the Sales guidelines please. You are limited to 2 ads per day. I really have better things to do with my time than babysit posters who should be able to read and follow simple instructions and rules. ROD {Forum Moderator]
