So as long as it is bike related I cannot see a problem using this
group as a medium for letting others in Australia know that you
occasionally have something for "private sale or auction" that might
interest us. However, I think you might start "drawing the crabs"
now you've stepped it up a level (i.e. selling from an eBay store).Unfortunately there's no other way of doing it, aside from constantly
advertising things with huge lists and spending all day emailing
hi-res pictures to anyone who asks. Using ebay's store function means
I can have things "for sale" (rather than for auction) and no have to
constantly re-list each week. Althought the subject line is FA: most
of the stuff listed is actually FS: - but people get crabbier when you
say FS: and it's on ebay (despite things being a fixed price!).
Having an ebay store don't make me a bike shop! I'm not giving up my
day job, put it this way - it's just stuff for sale from my and a
friend and club member's private (and extensive) stash.
Cheers
GemmaGem I don't think it's a major problem on this newsgroup. In the main
it's been pretty low key and only a few grumbles. As long as we don't
get bombarded with spam type advertising then we should keep the status
quo as a light tolerance. We all pretty much know who is who and I'm
sure if anyone gets out of control we'll be sure to let them know. (In
our cheeky light hearted way of course 😉 )Marty
Now of course if there was a a.b discount on, say, Chorus seatposts.... 😉
