I ventured into the For Sale section yesterday on a rare visit. Lo and behold my item is now on page 5 in just over 24 hours. The place is full of people with names I've never heard of who don't appear in the Lounge.


What's more,how do you sell anything there if your post sinks without a trace in minutes? Start a thread in the Lounge?

Put up some decent pictures, sell it for a realistic price and friendly price. it will go. 80% of the sellers using this section don't manage either of these things.


Bumping is bad form, punishable by death.

If it's still on sale after a week.. see earlier post about realistic price and decent photographs.


I'm sure there's a bit of leeway for the 'conscientious bumper' (added information, price reduction) but a bit of leeway can so often be a slippery slope to taking the piss.


Some people find it hard it hard to accept that, you know, no-one wants it.

Yep. That's the kind of thing I mean. You add a bit of info, a picture, a price reduction etc. Some things just have a v. limited market so need a while to sell. Allegedly.

Course I will *Bob* but as volume 2 is special it would probably cost you ?50.

Me too Jeremy but for a fairly select group of people. Mind you if threw in a free towel some of the punters above may go for it.

Trying a new tactic. I've put the price up. Still sinking like a stone with pair of shoes (right one missing) and ill fitting dentures and the like moving up the charts. I need people to ask questions if I'm to stay afloat if you've nothing better to do.

I know *Bob*, I know. I'm an amateur at this malarkey.


PS I have a sandwich toaster myself so I didn't go for it. Love the sandwiches. In fact I often browse through one or other Volumes of The History of Irish Tennis while eating my cheese toastie. I have a paper towel to hand as the quality of the paper is such that you just wouldn't want to get greasy hands on it.


By the way the author is none less than the son of the cousin of a famous writer Aiden Higgins who recently passed away.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
