all reasonable, and fair comments .. and yep my comment is born in the main from a fustration as I thought I had "reserved" the item only to find out a sale had apparrently already occourred .. something which might reflect a lack of transparancy in the listing and sale processes.. and which might be avoided... I honestly never knew that a listing was not a committement to selling through the forum and that you might sell it elsewhere..an ignorence of my own responsibility I guess and i cant fault the individual concerned but if you plan to sell something to a friend who has your number / txt why bother listing it at the same time .. let your mates know privately at a social event, and open it to others via the classifieds forum if its remains available .... would avoid such disappointment and fustration .. but hey ho ...as you say VAD I'll get over it and plan a more a lean and hungry approach to the forum hereafter..
