May help if you don't want to tread on toes

Postby WelshWizard on Sat Nov 12, 2011 7:24 pm

We all use Trade Me and it May help if you don't want to tread on toes.
Some times we bid on items that we want, but not that badly, and another member may be serious about it or in real need.
Just found I was bidding on an item that another member of this forum really wants, and my needs are not that great for the item had I known who it was I probably would not have even bothered bidding.

So I thought it may be a good idea if we set up a register of who we are when bidding.

Most will already know mine is Welsh Wizard

I wouldn't go as far as saying 'really wants', 'wouldn't mind owning' is probably more fitting... you can never have too much software for your C64, and random old boxloads are the best way to find some real gems :)

So all of that said, if any of you weren't aware, my username on Trade Me is 'eisa'. Yeah, I was right into Compaq EISA-based systems back when I started my TradeMe account.
Just the local Commodore hobo and middle-aged PC hoarder.
eisa on Trademe. A lasting reminder of a Compaq fetish when I was younger.

Mine's pretty obvious. tezza5.

These days I find the things I most want are small components for one of my repair jobs. You don't often find those on Trade Me. However there are times when things can take my fancy.
