Sorry all...the thread is back open. I've been hoodwinked. The one thing I didn't do yesterday was check on bookerbill's history...

Just came across this motor today , will pick up wed ... i think this will go to sales
Sorry, I thought you were saying something about selling it because you couldn't get insurance on it?!

And this...

...and those are only the ones where it's very obvious that the car was punted on within days (and in the case of the other 240, at a significant profit).

So...sorry, JT340...you were quite right. Bookerbill, you will be going into the traders group shortly. While your post in the other 240 thread about donating to charity may be very honourable, the morality of making a large profit on "selling it cheap to a good home" cars is very dubious, and - more significantly - you've tried to pull the wool over our eyes here, and I don't remotely appreciate it.

Happy Christmas, all!

cheers

James

BB, Re your PM this morning, This is what I mean by 'What goes around comes around'

We clearly told you earlier this year re the Red 240 saloon that your methods and behaviour were not appreciated in our on line community.

'What goes around comes around'

Merry Xmas all.

How many cars and also car parts do you have to sell on the forum to be classed as a trader?
I have counted 5 members up to now who have sold more than
6 cars each,Yet they are not classed as Traders.Tommy.

I think most of it has already been covered, and I've discussed it further with Bill via PM. I don't think it's right to discuss his specific case any further.

In a nutshell, if you think someone should be classed as a trader, report one of their posts, and we'll look into it. Just selling the odd car isn't grounds for being classed as a trader.

I'm going to lock this up, as I'm sure Bill doesn't want it bumping to the top too often.

cheers

James
