It's totally fair, it's about looking after your mates, you may need the same favour one day. :daumenhoch:

I think yes. Sometimes you can search for an age
for a part only for it to pop up when you're having a shit.
Or work or something.

This leads me on to another fookin gripe.
Why don't people read the fookin wanted page.

It grips my shit when stuff appears for sale, when you are busy, sells, and you've had a wanted post up for months!

Hence my yes to your question.

It's up to the seller if they want to allow it, they might be glad someone's trying to help them get a sale though
You can always second dib something in case it doesn't work out

I agree with what Dan said.I have done it before and have had it done for me for which i was most grateful.I can see how it would be irritating if someone beats you to something with a temp dib dob for someone else but hey,it happens every day anyway getting beaten to parts-it's win some lose some !I think it's only fair to temporarily dib an item if can inform the person you are dibbing it for easily or know they will be along in the next few hrs/that day .Definitely find the wanted section much more annoying!happened a few times had a wanted ad up and the item has appeared in for sale section whilst the ad was up.Surely it's easier to drop someone a pm if they have a wanted ad up than to go through the ballache of doing a for sale thread? :daumenhoch:

I agree with most that the idea of dibbing for someone else is a cool thing and just looking out for your mates  :daumenhoch:

The wanted section, as has been discussed on many occasions, seems to be forgotten about. A shame really. I have had a few posts that have been answered and walked away with the parts I required/needed but, on many occasions, they just get overlooked. I always look through them and try and help as many people as possible with parts, even if it's just links to the parts they need  :daumenhoch:

Those who have benefited from this will say yes but I'd say it was unfair personally.  All part of the game I guess. 

Is it fair for people to give other members stick for splitting/profiteering when they do it themselves?  It's totally fine if they're in the clique but outsiders who do it get hounded off the site...   :police:

Post by: pickle on January 28, 2013, 08:08 AM
To be honest, I tend to dib for someone if i've seen an add in the wanted section........could be anyone, not just people i know or class as mates  :-\

Title: Re: Is it fair to temp dib for someone else???
Post by: Retrodan72 on January 28, 2013, 08:14 AM
I don't agree about the clique thing Terry, I've dibbed for folk I don't know, I've just read the wanted section.  ;)

I for one am a regular to the wanted section. I've got some parts myself due to other people's threads. Say you wanted a part, and someone has that part, it may be at a price that may not agree to your budget, so you may pass. It may suit my budget so will take the part should the original thread author pass. 8)

If the OP passes then that is fair enough but I have had vultures ruin my wanted threads by Gazumping me when someone posts to say they have that part.  Not fair and definitely not tennis. 

Calling second dib dobs on a part that is offered in the wanted section does nobody any favours IMO.  If it's not your thread, move along, nothing there for you to see.   ;D

Maybe replies could be hidden to fook off greedy vultures?

Yep, same here. I usually put a timescale on it though if one of my mates needs the parts I usually have an idea if they're on regular or not. If not, I text or call them as I know how frustrating it can be to miss out on the parts you've had wanted adds up for months waiting for.....

Temp dib dobs until 9pm that night would be my rule and then next in line gets the part - as said, it's always worth putting a second dib dobs in just in case :coolsmiley:

So the general feeling is

 IF it is posted in the wanted section , then it's ok to do, to which I agree :daumenhoch:

 OZONE If you have a wanted ad , then ask for replies via a PM ,  and not in the thread, this will stop gazumping

at the end of the day it's up to the seller to decide whats fair.

I can't afford any of the good stuff anyway so it doesn't really affect me , just glad to finally start a thread people responded to !!

cheers Lads :daumenhoch:

What the fook is dibbed? is it when your scout leader fingers your anus?

The seller makes the rules, it's their shit, if they appreciate cub/scout terminology for anus prodding then that's their call.

Any other fooking riveting scenarios that need sorting?

I would recommend you get out to as many ride outs up and down the country and meet other radsters. Then you discuss what you are into. You would be amazed how much stuff you need is sitting in someone's shed. But they never put for sale threads up. Also the more people you meet the more you get to know who is good to deal with and who is dodgy. Believe me I have heard lots of stories about users on here that stitch other radsters up.  You learn who to steer clear from.

You will find most people that you meet and get on with will let you know when one of your wanted items comes up. Or even when something that is in your genre comes up.  

After all, the more folks that know your after something the more likely your gonna get it.
However it does annoy me when a radster is looking for a rare item and you find it and dib it for them at a reasonable price. Only for them to say its to expensive. Then a few days later moan that no one has read their wanted ad!  :idiot2:  if something is rare then pay the going rate. Don't expect to get it for peanuts.  :daumenhoch:

Even if you are tight and Turkish!!  ;)  :LolLolLolLol:
