    At the risk of being pedantic, this is a link to an explanation of links :p

    The OP/Seller provided a reply to a request for the item number. I think they were genuinely looking for advice on how to gain exposure to their item and from the replys at the start of the thread I think they achieved that. I didn't sense any ill-intent in the thread. If I was telling a mate then I would actually tell them my userid since it's quite a bit easier to remember.

    well the bottom line is, they forum administrators have ruled on it and have made a clear statement, therefore end of, as far as i am concerned.

    I much prefer her other item.

    Bet the neighbours will be glad when the auction ends! ;)

    Vixxann, Why are you adding VAT to the final price, are you a company?

    Because they dont want to lose 17.5% of the nothing they are going to get for it.

    How many people are watching the item btw?

    Nor has there been any press interest. I asked Mr Soolin if he had seen anything in any of the car mags or press he reads and he was surprised that anyone would think it worth a mention.

    The problem would be that most magazines out right now we're written probably 6 weeks ago and were out a couple of weeks ago. By the time the next issue is out it will be over and no longer of interest.

    Not that there was much interest in it in the first place!
