i think everyone who came out and said it was a scam should now come out and publicly apologize

yes he was a complete stranger then who doesn't read the forum and he is still a complete stranger now who doesn't read the forum but its still not nice to make unfounded accusations even against total strangers.

:)

all the best in your travels squire

apologize for what ? offering an opinion ? people were asked what they thought of a situation. People who have extensive experience of Ebay said in their opinion it sounded dodgy, and to be honest, it did sound dodgy.

people dont have anything to apologize for.

ok, my request for the public apology was meant more towards the people who were quick to cast dispertions against a persons character (albeit a complete stranger) rather than those who though the concept of what was taking place was a scam.

My apologies for not making my post clearer :)

Well no - he asked for opinions, & got them!

i dont think people need to apologise and certainly not to me.,,.,.i just wanted people to know this guy was genuine and there are some honest people out there..,,and he was one of them.,.,

Fair enough - maybe it is just me then but whenever i post my opinion, especially against someones character and it turns out to be untrue then i'll always try to hold my hands up and say i got it wrong. There are many instances on the blonde forum where i've done it in the past.

(and chances are there will be many times in the future when i have to do it again. :D)

No one criticised the buyer's character.  We all advised Sofa to be cautious in case the buyer wasn't genuine.  Hardly a character assassination - especially as we don't even know who the character is in the first place.

How can you say that it is a scam and not question the integrity of the buyer? surely the two go hand in hand?

I don't get why you bothered Matt, I know Charlton lost but no reason to be crabby :) Unless you was this random stranger with the 5k deposit? :P

as a fan of over 25 years the leathered skin of abuse received in the playground is able to deflect the crabbiness of losing which happens on an all too regular basis.

like i said in my original post on the first thread i just believe that its sad to think that peoples perceptions of others has changed so much in recent time. Ok so maybe i'm not going to go on about what it was like back in Tikay's day where everyone left their front doors open for any tom dick or harry to wander in but soon we are going to live in a world where we all have our own little bunkers and we never venture anywhere because we dont trust anyone.

i believe it was byron who said in a recent posts of red-dog's that when we were kids we used to go to the park as kids of 7 or 8 and play without adult supervision, now most parents dont let their kids out past their own front door step.

The trust factor in society nowadays has virtually all but disappeared, if a stranger says hello in the street to you now your first thought is that they are going to mug you and now as a stranger you daren't say hello to anyone in case they have you arrested for harrasment!!

I still think it's a scam :o

me too ;D
