That would be fantastic thanks - I really appreciate it - I'll flick you a PM. :-)

Being in the process of moving myself, I’d be furious if someone hit buy now, then started asking questions that could have easily been asked in the Q&A. I think it’s poor etiquette and placing undue stress on the seller.

Im with you on that one. Once you have hit buy now the deal is done as far as I am concerned. If you want to dick around do it beforehand. Even worse are those tossers who want to pick up and pay cash and then when they do turn up its not in good enough condition or some shit and try and knock you down in price. (has this turned into my Friday rant again ?)

One rant a week is pretty judicious for these old buggers.

Yeah sorry: I work in retail and by Friday I have about had it with customers. Well actually customers are all Ok mostly its the idiots who want parts for something where they dont know what they have. I mean honestly can you imagine walking into Repco to ask for a new oil filter for your car and not knowing what sort of car you have. I get answers like" oh arent they all the same " or "its a black one". FFS
