bumblebee police auction

CHR15

There is some quality grammar used in that email. Seems odd to condemn someones professionalism by demonstrating such poor use of the written word.

Charles was demonstrating his complete lack of communication skills when making a complaint. He was also showing people exactly how to write an email that will be completely ignored by the person reading by the general negative tone that will just result in a default response being sent and otherwise leaving anyone who reads it to think what a !!!! Charles must be.

Sorry Charles, but having dealt with people like you no one who read your email will give a !!!!. If you can't speak to people properly don't bother. If you don't like my reply perhaps it will give a clue as to what people think when they read your emails!

To be quote honest, I was surprised to read that it is the police officers themselves that are creating the listings on Bumblebee. As much as I admire their tenacity in revenue opportunities, I'm pretty certain there are more pressing issues in a PC's day to day duties. They're meant to be serving and protecting the public, not spending hours creating pretty listings for a £3 rusty bike.

Something I have noticed about Bumblebee though, is that the descriptions are very non-committal, jewellery is described as "silver metal" or "yellow metal" for example. The police do not know the history and origin of items, and are hardly likely to spend time or money researching it. You pays your money, you takes your chances!

For anyone interested in "real world police auctions", there is a good article on https://www.ebaygoldmine.org at the moment, and an extensive list available for free at https://www.eempire.co.uk/policeandbailiffauctions/
