Ok so this one is grating on me a little, why have resonble comments made on Niklebacks HSE TDV8 sale message been deleted and then the message locked!

A lot of people made valid comments that £35k is a little on the high price for an 07 HSE!

I thought this site was available for us all and certainly a good source of information for potential new buyers, however I am now a little dissapointed that big brother has possibly interfered a little too much this time, why is one persons view held over that of others!

Should have stuck it on Autotrader, If he does'nt want any comments.  2006 S/C Bonatti Grey, OEM Steps, LAND ROVFR Mud Flaps, Soft/Smooth steering wheel, 2010/11 HST Wheels.

The thing is, he asked us for comments sometimes the truth hurts we would all like top dollar when we come to sell

I would love to post a response on this but I fear Martin will send me to the naughty corner....

One would guesss that the original poster requested this action

If I were trying to sell a bog standard TDV8 with a few aftermarket bits on, minus one of the most desired options at more than market value I would take an Ostrich stance too

Well said mate.

Very few cars sell on here I guess and of course you're going to be open to critics for eg if you sell a Rover 75 for 25k, you're bound to get a few heckles from the gallery......

Just put in on Piston or Autotrader and job done.

And FFS don't write war and peace about it either....

I guess but I would feel a little guilty if a new member went along and paid that sort of money for a car without being aware of market values!

Imagine how such a member would then feel if they became a regular poster and discovered their mistake later down the line.... and further more had recieved no such help or advice from their new found 'friends'

Well thats my view anyway.....lets hope Martin does not put me in the naughty corner for my free speech!!!!!

Thanks for your comments all.

As you know, it's exceptionally rare that moderator action is required to clear up/lock threads. In this case, as I posted in the thread in question, I was asked by the original poster to do so.

Particularly with For Sale postings, there's often a fine line between helpful replies and the thread being "spoilt" by comments about the asking price.

Hope this explains matters  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Sold my RRS on here without advertising anywhere else

I know there have been 3-4 sales recently....but wevall more than others know prices better than most.....

What was said that was rude? Nothing was rude or personal, or at the very least as bad as what's been written before....in that case read back thru Sexy Pauly posts!

That seems a bit Dear. 2006 S/C Bonatti Grey, OEM Steps, LAND ROVFR Mud Flaps, Soft/Smooth steering wheel, 2010/11 HST Wheels.

it is a bit odd

So, this is a forum where we're encouraged to air our views and share thoughts and information... Most of the time helping fellow enthusiasts to get more out of their vehicles etc.. Unless someone is unhappy with it when it's all deleted.. With respect to Martin, I don't think that's right...

Cheers,
