old'un Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Is it against PW rules to ask what something may be worth from people who perhaps have better knowledge than I of such things? I only ask as my post in Airgunners was removed, I have emailed PW twice but no reply as to why its been removed, have I broken some rules???

Mice! Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 If you were asking for a valuation then yes they always get removed. Best thing to do is go on Agf and do a search to see what prices they have sold for before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted June 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Well I guess I have broken the PW rules then, as I have an old BSA air rifle and asked what people thought it maybe worth, well smack my wrists for being a naughty boy.

Rules, just been on AGF and as you say there are lots of people asking the very same question I ask on PW, only difference their posts have not been removed, I guess rules are rules and we on PW must not brake them even if some are a little petty.

There aren't many you can fall foul of on here, valuations haven't been allowed as long as I've been a member, I think it's just to stop lots of posts asking the same questions, it would probably need it's own sub section, and even then not everyone agrees 😁 26 minutes ago, clangerman said: small price to pay we have far more freedom than agf their banned list is hundreds of pages long lol It is, mostly of people who won't follow the simple rule saying you can only sell on their site, or try to set up multiple accounts to get around sales bans, probably 90%+ of the bans are around sales. https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/345180-valuation-threads/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc dave ( almost half a generation ago now ). Valuation threads had ended up with members arguing over buying items that were being valued , so valuation threads got stopped. It would go like Member 1, how much is this worth ?. Member 2, it's worth a tenner . Member 3, I'll give you a tenner for it. Member 4, I'll give you fifteen quid. Member 3, I offered the money first. Squabble , squabble , squabble , squabble. It might seem like a harsh rule , but it started for a good reason mate . It's the same reason that you have to state a price in the sales section , it's to stop members outbidding each other and having arguments. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
