I`m writing this to bring to your attention the problem of site sponsors jumping in on other peoples adds. Mods please do something about it, it`s hard enough trying to sell something when your just a punter like everyone else without someone who has advertising space at their disposal using my add to advertise their business. The ae86 drivers club is not here just to benefit a few individuals who are using their position as site sponsors to ruin someone elses chance to sell something. I have tried to learn to keep my opinions to myself when required to do so, may i suggest other people try to as well for the benefit of all on this forum, after all my car is not a business opportunity for me it is my hobby, something i enjoy very much, thankyou for your time. Cheers Mick.

This is something that site sponsors generally try to avoid, i believe.
I personally only ever offer a part if the advertised item has been sold, and there are people who have missed out, and even then i usually Privately Message the individual.
Can you present a instance of said happening?

I agree with you, jumping in on peoples ad's is a bad move. But as for it reducing your ability to sell, I really don't understand. You should only have a problem selling your parts if you've added too much takumi tax.

He told Dave to "piss off".

i thought he went into your action and tried selling someone the same product.
an opinion is an opinion. some people may believe some people may not. and my opnion is that youre over-reacting

Well of course you wouldn`t see a problem mate being one of his reps, watch out your nose doesn`t turn brown. the problem is i thought that it was against the rules to post negative comments on someones " FOR SALE " thread and as for riojin i don`t particularly give a shit if you think my opinion is wrong, all i`m asking for is fairness and consistency and i did say my price was negotiable
