Eh? So I can't ask advice re selling a complete car vs breaking it for spares? I didn't try to sell it here, or ask for money for bits, just what people thought.

Seems a bit rude to just delete a post without the moderator letting me know - after all it's not like I've been on here for 5 minutes...

Fair enough, but to my mind that was no advert. I don't even know if I want to sell the car - but if I did want advice re sell vs break I had to say what the car was or people wouldn't know what advice to give?

Still, a note from the mod would have been a nicety seeing as this clearly wasn't a blatant "I want £x for my Y" type advert.

Just a thought, but perhaps it's worth posting up " general car chat " just seeking advice about what to do with your car etc?

May get more response or support from there perhaps. I could be totally wrong tho sorry.

With respect, it did look like a disguised selling post to me, especially with the photo.

Me - "I have a car - should I break it for parts or sell it? What's the market like for Omega cars/spares?"

The replies I'd expect to that post.
"Dude, we need more details!"
"How can we answer that without knowing more about it?"
"Duh! What car? Mileage? Condition?"
"Jeeze - how can we help you with no information??"

Give the details and the post is deleted. Can you see the problem? Don't won't to transgress the T&Cs or p1ss people off - just wanted to know if I broke an Omega what are the chances of people wanting to buy certain "things"?

Problem is, first thing frustrated sellers do when told they need 250 posts is to post a speculative "what if I sold my car" post in general chat, so these will get deleted too. Unfortunately, we get enough of these that it isn't possible to PM every offender and explain why their post has disappeared.

I suggest you look into the parts for sale section to get a feel for what parts are shifting and for what money, but bear in mind that you will need 250 posts to sell them here.

I must admit at first i saw of you question i thought  oh..oh....looks like a for sale advert and although you may have put it on here just to ask advice the rules on this forum are there to be looked at and to be followed....however as you said.(it would have been nice to have had a p.m from the moderator first ) with that i agree....oh oh you got me in trouble now lol....we all have made mistakes..me included but the rules are there for us all to be protected and therefore in our best interests...So i am sure not at all personal ..simply a reminder to us all to check the rules..

[tunnie]

Clearly in the rules & clearly an advert, admins give up enough of their time as it is. So just nuke it. Deal with it, get involved to get enough posts, then post up.

Man up about it or quit whining.

No problems guys - just thought some helpful advice might be forthcoming like "ooh - stick it on Piston Heads, someone will want the engine" or "don't bother with Autotrader these days" etc.

Anyway, I've stuck her on an internet auction site so I'll gauge the interest from there

/malc.

P.S. I can say it's listed elsewhere on the internet without censure, can't I?
