After all the people who have been abusive towards me all hide under usernames

not really. the real names of pretty much everyone who's posted on this thread are common knowledge

Yeah ya big turd

Just pretty much sums up the pathetic mentality of (SOME, NOT ALL) of the people who have posted on this thread
All i can honestly say is that one day i truly hope that a close friend or member of your family is struck down with a
horrible illness that causes them suffering and heartache and when you turn to charities for support and help that they
slam the door in your face because they instantly recognise you for what you are with comments like that.  A
pathetic unempathic moron who is nothing but a drain on society.

[Again Please can an administrator lock this thread now.]

What to be abused further ?

No thanks, i will stick to focussing my efforts and giving my time to genuine people who i can mutually build
up a level of trust with face to face.  

Again Please can an administrator lock this thread now.  

Im growing weary of having to justify my intentions to people when all i was trying to do was gage a level of interest in something i thought worthwhile.

Understood Celtic - something for me to think about in the future, however i somewhat doubt i will bother again.


 

Common knowledge isnt something I have as a new member.

Stands to reason to assume that though if you think about it.

Agreed, please can you close this post, as i do not want to spend any more time in trying to justify my intentions
to be ridiculed.

To those of you who contributed positively, then I would like to express my sincere gratitude, especially to
the 2 guys who know me from our local cardroom.  Baptism of fire is the only way i can describe my initiation
onto this forum, but i do understand all points put forward by sceptics as well as the supporters.

I also appreciate your contribution as admin Tikay and hope your backside recovers from any damage
caused by that somewhat uncomfortable looking fence i put you on. 

As welcoming as I want to be to Mr Synetos, I did try very hard to explain to him how the land lies.

Camel's comments on this thread have nothing whatsoever to do with this particular plate, or thread, he just has a long-term loathing of the folks who buy them, & has stated it often, over many years. Anyone who tries to flog a plate, be it a newbie or veteran blonde, will get exactly the same treatment from him.

And i appreciated your time to do so Tikay, but as explained before - after receiving scathing attacks and personal abuse from the off, I am
unlikely to want to further post specifics about who i am - After all the people who have been abusive towards me all hide under usernames
on a forum too - I dare say that the Majority would not say the same to my face if i was out on the street collecting for a hospice.

if he's sitting in a pub and tells a pal he has a poker related number plate and wants to sell it, where could he sell something so specialised and his mate says try a poker forum, that would sound like a sensible idea to me, the perfect place for his target market, a lot of poker players, some with enough disposable income to be able to afford it, if they can then great if they can't no big deal but he gets the third degree, probably goes back to his mate and says what the hell was that about, i went on there and they chased me off because i hadnt contributed to the community enough, i just want to sell a poker number plate not discuss online poker all day

Thanks for these sentiments ohdear, i think you have pretty much nailed it.

Thanks for the example Tikay, nice to see some of the helpful nature of the online community that i had heard about.

Again i take your point about the original post (im assuming thats what u mean by OP) needs to be reasonable and well put together.

I DID NOT expect in any way to just turn up on this forum and have a mutitude of people falling over themselves to offer to buy
the registration plate from me - There are a number of reasons why :

1)  The MAJORITY of people do not have that kind of money to spend individually on a luxury such as a car registration plate, however given that
I assume that this forum is visited by some of the top pros (as it was suggested this is the most active forum)  then if there was a player who was
interested in buying it then the forum would have been the only place i could think of to "advertise" it as an option,  I do appreciate that it would
appear that i may be using the forum as an "Exchange and Mart" but surely as a forum then this would not really be that much as an issue as i am
sure that over the years you have had a multitude of posts about a wide variety of things - given that some will have been genuine and some scams.

2) The idea of raffling something and getting people who do not know me to buy a ticket for something that may not exist is ludicrous at best.
I UNDERSTAND THIS - My post, Like allready stated, was mainly about trying to see what people thought of it as an IDEA to see if it could be VIABLE
to be held at a large poker festival somewhere - IF this option was to be explored then obviously i would need to check out a number of issues -
The casinos / card rooms may not allow this anyway as i am not sure how raffles are regulated under the licensing laws - HOWEVER someone suggested
that because it is to raise money for charity then this is acceptable - i would need to have checked into this further.

AGAIN as allready stated i would look to show the credibility of this by either meeting any purchaser in person and showing them around the hospice then going through
the necessary paperwork together OR If the raffle was to take place i would look at getting the hospice involved to have a representative actually
turn up at the decided venue so that would be raffle purchasers can see and learn a bit about the work that the donation will be helping.

I dont think anyone owes me a favour.

AGAIN I will state that posting on here was given to me as a suggestion to gage interest.

I know you feel that i have treat this forum like Exchange and Mart, but the logic of
posting here because of its poker relevance surely must be appernt to the most idiotic of posters.

And yes by making a donation it does help the hospice and yes technically it does come from my pocket,
because at the end of the day i could have done what others have done in the past and bought a plate
cheaplly and try to flop it to make money myself - the WHOLE financial MARKET value of whatever i own belongs
EXCLUSIVELY to me - if someone can make a profit from it then they will - THATS THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS
YOU PAY PROFITS ON EVERYTHING YOU BUY - if i decide to use some of that money to make a donation then
technically the money still comes from my INITIATIVE to do something positive.  If the market dictates that the plate is only worth
what i paid for it then i would still donate 50% of whatever i sold it for to the hospice - but given that it is valued
at a particular price i am not going to just give it away for nothing - i would sooner look at other options to raise money as
an alternative idea.

Yes Tikay I take your points - surely you can take mine - i figure that if someone IS GENUINELY interested then surely meeting in
person and taking the time to even visit the hospice is a more desirable way of conducting the transaction rather than through
a forum.

Being ABUSED from the off does not sit pretty with me - but like i posted at the end of my last post i would like
to thank the couple of guys who did make positive contributions - yourself included.

OK Guys

Fair point

The reasons why i wont give out personal information on an internet forum are the same reasons why some people
think this is a scam - So far all i have received from the MAJORITY of people on this thread is personal ABUSE
I WILL NOT subject myself to further abuse hence i will not give out further details of myself on an OPEN forum.
Should someone have come forward with what i thought may have been a GENUINE offer or expression of interest,
then i would have no problem in actually meeting up IN PERSON with all the necessary paperwork (whcih i have
allready posted a picture of on here) and also would have invited them to the hospice to see the great work that is going
on which will be further enhanced by the donation made.  ANY GENUINE purchasr would not have a problem with that as they
would then see first hand for themselves.

Im not going to waste my time with this forum anymore.

I understand that others in the past have damaged the future possibillities of such a thing in the future.
Its a sad world to think that all people are tagged with the same doubts.  At this moment in time i was merely
wanting to find out levels of interest whether or not it would be viable to open up a raffle to a wider audience
in order to raise a better sum for the hospice, but i will stick to the smaller scale venue, where i will not be
ridiculed for trying to raise some money for charity.

I find my experiences of this forum to be quite sad really, as i was always led to believe the online community
was usually quite helpful.

Sorry for wasting everyones time, if you feel like that, and thank you to the one ot maybe two people who actually
made a positive suggestion.  To those of you who took the initiative to deliver personal insults then please, grow up.

I mostly play in the North East and occasionally online.  I am not a big stakes player, and mostly play tournaments rather than cash games.
Like i said i treat poker as an enjoyable passtime, rather than thinking i can make a long term profit at it.  I know that there are those
who do very well from it, much better than myself, however i just enjoy the pychology and thought processses involved in the game
as much as the winning.

Like i said i am inviting offers at this moment in time - the raffle is an option if no offers are received.  If you want to make an offer
then please feel free to PM me.

I have given a rough breakdown of the figures that i expect could POTENTIALLY be raised with a raffle, (I anticipate between 5-7k) however I am aware that
nothing is certain.  Whoever purchases the plate / wins the raffle will have the V750 certificate transferred into their name
IN FRONT OF THEM through the DVLA Website, as well as be given the trasfer papers - On receipt of payment at the same time of course.

I also do not have a problem in giving the details of the hospice, once the donation has been made, in case anybody wants to check up on that part.

Yes Camel that is pretty much what i am hoping.

Fair point Camel

You are entitled to ridicule people trying to sell something tjat you are not a fan of, just as
much as i am entitled to irritate you with what a lot of people may see as Spam i guess.

Like allready stated it was just an idea thrown out there but fellow players whilst at the felt
to make a post on here to see what kind of interest it gets.  I dont for a minute expect
anyone to actually be able to have the disposable income to fork out £5k just for a number
plate as unless they are a huge profit player then most people would not really bother, howere
given that ALL poker players are gamblers i do anticipate that most would feel it to be reasonable
to have a £50 punt on winning a plate that is actually quite "catchy" if you are into poker - given
that most poker players would think twice about putting £50 into a pot with a nut flush draw.

I have allready had an offer from the manager of my local card room to run the raffle at their event, but i figured
there isnt any harm in posting also, given that my local card room may not be the biggest of venues but it still
would return a reasonable amount IF i decide to go ahead, I am in no hurry to sell NOR am i BUSTO in case any
sceptics want to throw that in the mix too.  I am employed, own my own home and see poker as an enjoyable
passtime - not that i should EVEN have to justify any of that to anyone.

See attached pic of the Certificate of entitlement - with the certificate number removed for obvious reasons.

Rockstar

Not sure what you mean by withdrawn in the last hour ?

The only person who can sell this is myself as i have the full DVLA V750 Document (Certificate of entitlement) for this plate.

Camel
In case you didnt notice, this is a poker forum and the car plate is of poker relevance.  It is worthless to those who
have no interest in it, idiots like yourself for example, however there is a market for private number plates for a
variety of reasons.

Granted you dont know me, and boy am i glad of that because you seem like a pratt, but i take on board your point
of doubt cast over the cause of me selling it.  This is why i have posted that there are a number of ways it could
be done - the most credible probably would be to invite a representative of the hospice to actually do the draw.

Red Dog
Granted i can understand your point of this being the first thread i have posted, which may have cast some doubt
with the usual sceptics, however i have never really been one to bother with "forums" and it was only that
someone suggested posting it on here whilst i was talking about it during a small cash game at my local casino.

I have not got a price in mind as such, but would be looking to donate 50% of the sale price to the hospice.
The other 50% of the sale price would pretty much cover the costs that i have incurred from purchasing.
