And from the other side i'm an honest and like to think honourable person selling a vehicle that's probably the best available and certainly the best maintained of it's kind anywhere.

I agreed to keep this vehicle for a particular 'genuine buyer' who hasn't turned up this morning as he promised faithfully, and have indeed turned away several others such was the verbal gentlemans agreement we had.

Again i've been a fool and assumed that there are one or two men of honour still alive in this country...you know the sort, a chap who's word means something.

Yet again i realise the English gentleman who's word is good no longer exists.

SWM thinks i'm barmy for even thinking that men of honour exist any more, she's right but you can only live in hope.

I feel for you TL, honesty and it's associates are extinct.

EBay or anywhere else, it has to be first come first serve, at least until they leave a deposit. Years ago I even had somebody leave a deposit and I never saw them again!
