Corni keg/draught system equipment

It's a bit unfair. I was 2nd bid recently, received a pm from seller, double checked with 1st, and missed the sale. There's etiquette in these things...

And then you gave the man who took it from you a medal!

[googoomuck]

If it's for sale elsewhere what difference does it make?! If you know it's for sale on beoir would you put in an offer there over here or what's the story? Genuine question lads, can't see the problem here.

Rule no. 1 '...declare if it's for sale elsewhere for clarity.'

Rule no. 1 '...declare if it's for sale elsewhere for clarity.'

Why though?

[johnrm]

So that issues like this don't arise?

[googoomuck]

Someone lost out on a bargain cause they didn't check two sites?!?! I can't see the issue here. If the op posted that the items were for sale on a number of sites would that persuade/dissuade someone making an offer?!

[johnrm]

(I don't mean to pick on this sale, unfortunately it raises a valid point.)

This is a small community where honor plays a big part.
There is a core bunch who bend over backwards to help someone out, delivering, storing, group buys, answering questions etc.

I could sway competitions I judge in but I don't, again, honor. The people that organise these and give their time voluntarily are honorable and trustworthy.

I mentioned rule number 1.
I also mentioned etiquette.
Simple, common sense stuff like this makes this place work.

[Oh Crap]

No more then adverts or the like... "It's for sale elsewhere so ad can be removed at any time" SIMPLE

Rule no. 1 '...declare if it's for sale elsewhere for clarity.'

Why though?

Because you're getting a service from the site when you decide to sell and the least you can do is follow the rules.

[johnrm]

Maybe we should charge for the service...

This is a strange one

Has anyone looked at the timing here?

The kit was first listed on Beoir in Feb, listed here on the 24 March.

Delzep offers on the day.
Arse...Biscuits joins here on the 24th, joins Beoir same day and gets it on first post

There is no point in dissecting this any further.
There are rules for sale to make the process as fair as possible for all parties.
Please comply with these and there should be no issue going forward.
I suggest this thread is locked as the item is now sold.

Apologies lads, I should've read that rule. I only stuck it here as I couldn't seem to move it on beoir. I should've  put it on here first, as you are a great bunch and have answered many of my questions,
Regards,
Kevin

[johnrm]

Thanks for the update Kevin.

Ah right yeah it's all grand isn't it

Yeah I'm pissed off cos it was a good deal that I didn't get, but if it's brushed under the carpet as you suggest then what's the point in having rules in this section? No sign of any mods or admin comments  is a bit alarming
