I asked Paul about the grip last night and this was his reply.
If I am out of line posting it here then let me know paul but it may get you a sale

hi i've got it listed on ebay. I paid £98 for it new, so looking for anything around £80-£85 as it's had little use, plus is supplied with a battery (copy) and a 1GB SD card.

It's got a few watchers on ebay so let me know if you're defo interested.

Thanks!

Instead of putting e mail addresses on the forum it would be much better to use the PM (Private Message) facility.
It would also be good to know where the OP is, and whether he will send abroad, given then international nature of the forum.

If it's already listed on ebay, then it shouldn't be offered here (other than as a link to that auction).

1st post from a new member offering to sell HAC goods. Questionable. How are we to know that these items did not recently belong to someone else? Of course this sale may well be genuine and I've no desire to offend the OP if it is, but how do we know?

HAC = Highly Attractive Consumable.

Cripes we're a welcoming lot aren't we

Give the guy a break he just wants an easy sale.

My guess is that knock off gear is flogged down the pub.

He did give me his Ebay username where the grip and other items are listed but I held back posting that as it was sent via pm and I had no idea if he would want it posted publicly.
His feedback is excellent though ...

You may well be right mike but the OP could have informed us of his/her ebay user name or included a link to his/her auctions.

To the OP. It's against ebay rules to offer an item for sale elsewhere when it's in a current auction.

It is still a weird first posting, especially as he already has the items listed on e-bay. I have no idea how e-bay works to be honest as I have never used it but surely if they are already listed there then he has to sell them via e-bay?

This is a forum, not a market place, after all. This posting has attracted new members who have only signed up to find out about what he has for sale. I hope they will become active members but I have my doubts. If they were lurking and were only inspired to join by this advert them the chances of them taking part further are slim.

No. An eBay listing can be be ended early (cancelled) if it has no bids yet, or if it is Buy It Now, then the seller can sell it outside eBay privately. Actually, bids can be cancelled too, though generally that is not acceptable practice.


I suggest and request that adverts on this forum should not be spoiled and moaned about unless there is good reason to suspect fraud. Merely regarding something as "weird" or "odd" is not good enough. It is not fair to the seller. You wouldn't like it if someone spoiled an advert of yours.

If there is a rule that only regular contributers to the forum can advertise then that should be made clearer. If there isn't a rule, and people want one, then perhaps one should be introduced. Until then, you should just live and let live, IMHO.

Iceblinker,

As Gwyn says, that is a forum, mainly meant for discussion.

My personal opinion is that a first posting offering to sell expensive camera equipment without much introduction is reason enough to be suspicious, even if that suspicion turns out to be unfounded.

There is absolutely no reference to the fact that these items are on ebay in the original posting. There should have been, and if there were, this thread would have attracted less criticism.

Another observation is that the OP hasn't returned.

I might do the same thing as this seller if I was selling Pentax equipment and wasn't already frequenting the forum. It's natural to want to advertise your gear as widely as possible. It may be taking advantage of the forum, but I don't see it as suspicious.

The OP posted less than 24 hours ago, so it's a bit early to note that the seller hasn't returned.

I suggest that people (including new posters) should be given the benefit of the doubt.

If you don't want new posters to advertise then that is not a matter that should be raised in the middle of someone's ad.

It's not just new posters who get this kind of response anyway. There is a generally moany response to anything at all "odd" advertised here. It's mean spirited.
