Saving Old Seagulls

As a result of speaking to others I have decided to pull the references to the Mock aution on E-Bay. It was pointed out that SOS could be implicted.

You all know I disaprove of some of the skates who use that medium and wish my site to remain honest and separate.

Its sad that you are having to protect boith yourself and this site by deleting a thread that adequately demonstrated the sort of underhand dealing that appears to be frequent on Ebay, but would be illegal in physical auctions in most civilized countries.

I thought that the other posters here expressed their contempt for the sellers ethics in a telling but restrained manor.

Naturally we expect you to put the best interests of yourself and SOS first but wouldn't it have sufficed to ban the OP, replace identifying details of the auction with [ebay link deleted] etc. and retitle the thread as 'A Cautionary Ebay Tale'?

Hi Ian,

it was not so much the comments, but the fact that there was obviously collusion between members of the forum. I do not wish the forum to be cited as a place where those bidding off E-Bay can contact one another about a 'dutch auction'.

You are right that it clearly showed the bad practices though!#

regrds,
