Title: Heads up
Post by: oldschoolace on October 18, 2011, 10:25 PM: Ok so whats the general consensus about giving the rad family a heads up on stuff you have seen but have no interest in?

Just found a decent F/F that one of you's may want. However if i let on and someone else on here has seen it and is hoping to get a nice snaffle it rains on their parade.

Is there a form on these matters? :)

_{cue everyone pestering to find out what it is ;)}

This is the thing, i would be well gutted if i had my eye on it and someone spilt the beans. It's only had 26 views and only a day left ;)

Unless you know a member is after a particular item then pm them otherwise you will only alert the buy to sell hunters

I was scrolling though the bay a few month ago. Found something i didn't want that i thought another member may have been looking for so i pm'd him.
I think your only helping the seller banging it up on open forum and not the guys.
I have ebay email me my favourite searches and check on them regularly if i am hunting.

Agree with both of these ;)

I find that within the forum you tend to get to know others more than some and you may find that you can give them a nod knowing they are looking for a certain item.
