We've had this discussion before. We were all 'new' once and just because somebody is just starting out doesn't mean they aren't "bonafida". Plenty of home traders been working for 30yrs+, plenty of experts with 250k startups fail in 12 months? Who is worthy?
I'm quite happy to talk to newbies or empire builders. It's private individuals and customer/punters that I don't want to have access. Talking about selling cars to other guys that sell cars is not in itself highly secretive.
This forum needs to decide if its happy to support new business or just look after "the old guard".
I think it's got to be the 'sheepskin jacket and original glass's guide ' [ Other guides are available ] !!
Joking apart its got to be 'closed' account for bonafida dealers only ! On TCD Everyone dealer is checked out to ensure they are who they say they are or else they don't get on on the forum !
This is sensible and 'realistic'. I can't see the point of endless security requirements just to talk about selling cars? We're not opening a bank account?
Adding to the above, they must also suffer from insomnia and high blood pressure, work more hours than a junior doctor and of course, have a drink problem.
