GRRR! Other 'amateur' forums!
Tried to buy a camera lens on another forum today. Offered full asking price, received a PM to accept my offer and phone number to contact.

Phoned up and the bloke had sold it to someone else on the forum!

He'd PM'd everone on his thread and sold it to the first caller!

I shall not be going there for trading again!

They seem to have no trading rules.

I won't name and shame, but suffice it to say they are 'amateurs' who are 'photographers'.
