Trading standards

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I'm saddened to see members of this forum trying to sell Carrera cars etc. from the Argos offer at greatly inflated prices.

I accept that what they are doing is not illegal but I believe it is immoral.

The only people who are likely to go for these "offers" will be new to the forum if not the hobby and I thought that one of the main purposes of the forum is to promote slot racing. Personally, I don't think the moderators should allow such adverts.

Am I wrong?

Rant over.

And because they are totally honest and above board, we presume those selling will be paying the necessary taxes on the profit of their investment.

I agree that these guys are doing nothing illegal, but it does seem to go against the spirit of the 'swapshop'. When the swapshop was set up, my understanding was that it was for people to offer excess or unwanted items to a small but appreciative market, not for blatant profiteering.

Perhaps, because it is so blatant, you should offer payment for the advertising space?

Just my opinion.
