Default Re: Spirit of the forum, OT?

Occasionally we come across people looking for some particularly expensive part or piece of equipment thinking they can get one here at substantially less than the going rate. Shall we just say that their success rate is well below par.

There have been a couple of cases where things at friendly prices turned up rather quickly offered for sale in the usual places. The speed was matched by the speed at which these people got banned from the site.

There is a lot of honest generosity hereabouts, and that inevitably attracts a small number of people who would abuse it. They get noticed and they don't last long. But it should be borne in mind that the vast vast majority are decent people, the occasional baddie just makes a disproportionate amount of upset.
