If you'd said "Hello I sold a car to Jan and was invited here." Or perhaps made mention of your project in the quote below, things may have been slightly diffierent.

However, your initial post was purely about making a buck from this forum. That's fine by me. Although, I wouldn't say the offer was entirely appreciated for several reasons -

1. No discount was attached to the sale for T-Bar members.

2. No pics were available to view the superficially damaged item.

3. You're not an established 'known member'.

So, you then sold it on ebay for less than you offerred it for here. That's also fine. It's your call.

Now the complaints of being harsh give me pause to say that the truth is sometimes selectively taken as being 'harsh' because it's convenient to prevent further truths being uncovered.

Had you not complained about the harshness of my post then I'm sure we would never have suspected that you held the hardtop back from Jan during the car sale. I'm sure that we might never have known that you buy and sell for profit to further your 160 project.

Again, no offer to the forum. Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to offer the original hard top for sale here after all. Making a profit by buying and selling is fine, if that's what you do. But if we're just normal punters to make top dollar from, there's no real point offerring it for sale here.

There's the truth from this post. Or maybe I'm just being 'harsh' again? Welcome aboard.

I will also endorse Leigh's post and say if you wish to use this forum purely for trading you will pay traders rates or risk your posts being deleted ..

I invited you to the forum to discuss and enjoy talking cars, not to sell parts :spank:

I'm not trade just clearing my garage, never been on a forum like this before, so much hate.
Buy the way it's not JAT s hard top, never had one with it when I brought it

Sending some manlove haha

You really do have to much time on ur hands.
All the hate for selling a few items.

Its not hate, far from it, but irritation for the reasons outlined in previous threads.

I can make time for some things over others and No, it's not hate at all. :dry:

These are just a few facts about the business you brought here. If you come here to do business with the members then it's only fair that we get 'all' the cards on the table. Sorry, if you don't love that I pointed out a few factual points. Initially you said that you were in no rush to sell the hardtop. Hours later you'd sold it for less than advertised here and it does seem that you stiffed Jan by not offerring it with the car sale.

But I can't hate you for that. :lol:

I moderate here. That doesn't mean that I just tell people they're being naughty for using the occasional swear word. To me it means that I also monitor the veracity of relative strangers who register and log in to sell their wares. Again, I hope you see some point in this. Other than emotional ones.

I'm sure that most are regular people. However, we've had one or two that just aren't.

well can everyone get over it and move on!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:

Fair play.
The hard top was never on or for Jans mgf. the car was not advertised with it.

Of course... Why don't you tell us about your 160 project? We like pics best.

Sorry that it's been a bit of a 'baptism by fire' for you. Look on the bright side though. You're now the ex owner of one of the most famous MG hardtops in the country. :lol:

Here's a snipped from our rules

THE `Classifieds / For Sale` SECTION

The `Classifieds` section of the the-t-bar.com is for private sellers offering the sale of individual items. It is NOT for any person, company or business of any size or type (including salvage yards and used parts companies) to sell merchandise of any retail nature or to make a profit.

We are fairly relaxed here and don't impose our rules that often, However when a new member signs up and creates numerous for sale threads this i feel is pushing being fair on everybody else
