But surely you would know as the person would let you know where they were based?

But you must have wanted the item to collect? And it's not a million miles away!

Dont understand The fuss

I once had to go to Catford to collect an item.

I was a bit irked but it was something I want and I negotiated a kower Price due to The Travel

However, if The truth be know I would have paid even morze tran The asking Price,

Wiat iż The arena anyway? What is The exact boundary of East Dulwich ?

Arę residents of Dulwich village not allowed to post here ?

It's not about whether they are allowed to post on here.


It's about being upfront about where the seller is based.

Really don't understand what all the fuss about. Far too many moaning Minnies on here!

I'd be far more annoyed with vague or non existent descriptions, shops selling or using this forum as a marketplace or people selling items at ridiculous prices or mark-ups.

If you're buying any item you should ask where the seller is based as you'll have to pick it up. If it's more than walking distance you might have to get a bus, drive or heaven forbid hire a van.

I've sold to people in Brighton through this forum and now live in Elephant. If there's something I want I will travel and still find this forum very handy for local information and occasionally buying or selling goods.

Its not being fussy, its the rules. Why call it ED forum if you have to collect from Tooting. I don't think it should be a problem for the surrounding areas ie Herne Hill, but if we are stretching further afield, the seller should delivery or meet half way. If you don't have boundaries, this will end up like a ebay website. I don't live locally, but my connection is ED area is work, so my collection from me would be work. I have cheated a bit, and offered large items to people who are under the wanted section, but that is a 121 conversation.


Mik322- nothing wrong with some travelling from Brighton to collect from the ED areas, but travelling to Brighton to collect...that's need the gumtree link..lool

    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
