I need payment to be made first before I start packaging everything up.
Cheers
You are joking, right?
Do you think if after seeing the pics and agreeing to buy it i'll back out once its packed?? Its not quite like I'm a brand new member who no-one has bought from or sold to.
Stranger things have happened. No I'm not joking, its the same for you as for everyone else if you want the stuff you pay first and after it clears the part will be sent, its how ive always done it, and your the first one to come up with such a reply. if your interested let me know and ill send you my banking details or the extra pics for you to see and then make up your mind otherwise stop wasting my time as I'm very, very busy.
Cheers

I guess it was just the last bit "Make up your mind otherwise stop wasting my time as I'm very, very busy" got my goat.
I too have bought and sold here, 99.99% send pics, get their 'thumbs up'
and pack the item. Payment sent, payment clears, item get sent.
Some trusting types send the item and wait for payment - unless i have met them personally its not the way i'd normally go.
So I understood you were pretty busy, waited a week or so for pics, didn't get any, didn't stress too much. Did mention my car was in for respray that week (I think i did anyway) Then got told to pay before you pack etc.. Maybe I was just being pms but didn't like it.
The reasons for and regret have been explained so i won't rehash them.
As for the other criticisms, well I think as a new moderator in the first week I made one or two gringo errors, like making a final comment on a closed post, another new mod did that as well but the expectations were explained and they were followed.
Not sure of that your issue was,
"
the last straw out of many problems you have created here, and you got what you deserved".
Big call, I did make that poor judgement and 'thumbed you down' and that was just plain old childish. Thats the only stuff up I made. The owner here likes to run a tight ship in regard to his mods so its his call so i was demoted. I didn't like it but had to wear it. Anyone can fiddle with those damn thumbs, just not up to standard for a moderator to be doing it.
Anyway thanks for you other blokes making comments, I did try to make the place seamless and Admin knows its not just all hot air when I say i was on the ball here behind the scenes and kept myself relatively busy. (Yes that was me posting the Flight of the Conchords link--- 'Too much time on too many hands' sort of seems fitting right now...)
It would take a real Lazarus moment for me to be re-elected as a moderator I think. The older crew here remember quite well the online slanging matches I had here - which generally came down to someone being picked on too much as i saw it, so i stuck my big mouth in and got involved.
I'd like to think the majority of the members who have joined in the last two years or so aren't jaded by those days.
So Steve, there's no need to get so upset, i'm not anymore
Glad you are looking forward to my car(s) appearing here finally, i'll make sure they are up when they are presentable.
DM.
