Now got 49 idiots, scammers and greedy "owt for nowt" wasters on my block list, so unless you want to add another one to it, read the rest of my profile carefully, because I don't play games or suffer fools!!!!...

ex-engineer, musician, tattooist and minister of religion (Honest Guv!!)

Retired, so bored stiff and practically welded to the internet..... (or my motorcycle) although the wife's quite happy to know where I am ;)

I only swap or sell things I've acquired for my own use and use any money to buy something else I want, if I can't find a swap........

I always reply to emails, shows of interest, or sensible offers, but trying to have me over by offering rubbish, substandard, or obviously silly deals is a waste of your time as I'll completely ignore you.

I'm fed up with people who value their items HIGHER than you can buy them for brand new, especially when they increase the value on their post just before making me an offer.... It's insulting, pathetic, childish and offensive.

If your item's value is subjective, because its genuinely rare, fine. (and I dont just mean old) Make it 1p, but if you can buy it new for £150 with a warrantee, or a similar one is on offer for less elsewhere, it's not worth £150 just because you say it is... Even if it hasn't been out of the box.... It's secondhand!!!!..... Don't be greedy!!!!

BEFORE making offers, or proposals, check online to see what your item can be bought for secondhand IN THE SAME CONDITION because I'll check it myself and if your valuation is obviously higher than it should be I'll block you without replying for being greedy...Simple as that.... No argument... End of story...

I don't like back-street traders/dealers, who constantly use Swapz and other online trading for profit, pretending to be private swappers while they claim job-seeker's, or other benefits!.... .I put them on my block list, report them for benefit theft and spread the word about them online...

Due to many members creating two, or more accounts, in order to bypass block lists, I won't deal with members who's accounts are less than a year old or have less than five rated swapz if they're in an area close to someone on my block list...

really sorry to legit swappers, but I have been offered absolute crap by one member and been given severe abuse for rejecting it, then been offered a different item by a different account holder, only to spot the crap item in the photo I asked for eight hours later....

If you expect to work out a deal over a mobile phone and not through email so there's a record of what you've said, you're obviously dodgy and I'll make sure everybody I do trust knows about you........ If you won't put everything in writing and give me a landline number, don't bother me in the first place....

I won't deal with anyone who continually relists their items, rather than paying for membership and using "bumpz"

I dont deal with anyone who has items listed in the wrong categories it's no different to queue jumping, so if you've got stuff advertised where it shouldn't be, I won't deal with you and I'll report the post and have it removed... Simple as that.. (I always check!)

If your location is "Mars" or "need to know basis" or "my place" or "tell you when we meet" or any other avoidance technique you've obviously got something to hide, whether it's that your gear is nicked, or you don't want the last person you ripped off to find you, or you're hoping to meet somewhere and try palming me off with rubbish without me coming round and evening the score.... I don't care.... Just don't bother me with offers, questions, or anything else.....

Most importantly, if you're listing a musical instrument, or other gear don't expect me to be psychic.... If you're not willing to let me see the item to make sure it's been described correctly BEFORE I make an offer, (you know who you are eydna1 and inittowinit) I'm going to assume its absolute rubbish...

Lastly.... I will not send items in the post unless I send them securely, at your cost and I won't send anything first to anyone with a swapz rating of less than 5, negative comments on their ratings, swapz that have all been in the same area, or with people whos accounts are no longer active... Sorry, but you never know?...
