For sale prices

[MArtyn Veg]

My view is that the poll was put out there with the best intentions and why not invite opinions! There is a saying though admin “Be careful what you wish for” Maybe it should have been simple tick box exercise?
I’ve been a member of this forum for 3 years now. As a complete novice I’ve found the members on here so helpful guiding me through the early days owning my V6 to actually helping me choose my current V8 model that would be right for me. I must also say to one member further up this chain that I have met members on here at various meets, and drive outs we’ve organised ourselves and both I and Mrs Veg love it! I now value those members as friends.
Let’s draw a line under this thread and crack on with all of the help and support members give each other on here.
Preach over

It’s not a surprise, but having been a member for some years it was one of the great things about this forum that people acted with courtesy and respect, unlike plenty of other forums.

I believe the growth in membership comes at a price and unfortunately we are now starting to pay it.

Perhaps it’s not too late for everyone to just take a step back and maybe not rush to make pointed comments.

After clocking up over 60k miles I sold my F-Type over a year ago now but have still been regularly checking and commenting where I believe I can assist those members with less experience / knowledge of running an F-Type.

…let’s see how things progress and that will be a barometer for me as to my continuing membership.

100% agree with you Lunar.

It doesn't bother me if a price is 'too high'. Things like that work out in the end - eventually the seller will reduce the price to get a sale or a buyer who has the dough and sees the value in the car meets the asking price.

I like this forum because it's largely friendly and easy going and really, really helpful. I've found some other forums to be too judgemental, snobbish, opinionated and political, and at the same time far less useful when it comes to sharing information and positivity about these cars.

simpleR, none of the admin team has been in communication with kaspa, though I can't say whether there have been messages between users who are not admins.

Kaspa has decided to delete his account, it was not deleted by an admin. If he is still reading here, his car advert was not the instigating factor.

The background to this poll is that a forum member commented on this topic, and proposed that we should introduce a rule, JonGreen please take note. The board owner could simply have taken a decision, but instead, the fair and democratic thing was done, and it was put to a vote. I'm puzzled as to why this led to such a heated atmosphere. I must say that some of the behaviour we have here is pretty immature and disappointing, but having been around bulletin boards since their earliest days, that isn't much of a surprise.

Noted. I still think its pointless.
