Location should also be mandatory for sellers. Country = minimum.

Nice set! The light on the first one is superb!

I agree with you on this Doug and I have pointed out to quite a few lazy sellers that they would stand a better chance of selling if they included a photo.

There's also the problem of fraud..... without a photo how do you know the item even exists? The photo doesn't prove anything but at least it gives a bit of reassurance.

Whilst we are on about Classifieds can something be done to give the buyer a little bit of protection against ID fraud, by insisting that all sellers accept bank transfers so that the money is at least traceable in the event of fraud and non of this cheque only nonsense.

This board is wide open at present for ID fraud. Advertise something... insist on a cheque.... ask for phone number in case of problems.... have address.... complete ID fraud Mothers maiden name would be handy?

At the time it wasn't, because discussions were still taking place, but I didn't really find that one post objectionable. It was more the other ones indicating that I had made a killing and being critical about the time between the post and my offer It's just not possible or practical for a moderator to selectively delete posts from people other than the buyer and seller. It also complicates any legal matters that might follow. For instance if the buyer later rejects the goods because they aren't as the photograph. Can the seller offer the defense that Doug told you it wasn't "as the photograph".... I don't know it's six of one half a dozen of the other. You were right though to draw attention to it. If that had been the only post it would still be there. Sorry you go caught up in the other stuff.

The photo isn't identical to one on the SRS site anyway.... one byte is different but thanks for the pointer

I'm not.... how you expect to sell something for £250 without photos is perplexing

Just to set the record straight:
elvisboy posted the pic of the wrong converter. It seems to
be just a stock pic and not the converter for sale. It isn't
the SHQ as shown in the pic and because he asked for payment
by cheque we agreed to cancel the sale and he returned the
cheque which I received Saturday (3rd).

I don't mind cats as long as they don't come into my garden.
They do KILL about 50 million birds in the UK each year for
no reason and it's surprising that there isn't an uproar
over it

Your backgrounds Black???.. Mines Orange!...

Sounds like I paid over the odds at £250

I bet your glad that nobody wants FULL SIZE VHS anymore!
