Practical Classics has a a lot to answer for.... You are sat at the airport lounge, plane delayed with 5 pints of stella weekening the blood.....next thing you are in Smiths looking at Magazines......Before you know it a classic car mag is in your hand and some ebay bottom feeder is grinning because he's sold his (bin) 1.3 escort (rs turbo look a like ) on ebay to a newbie from Bradford for 20k.........You know the story -

Diesel estates are my bread and butter, I’ve not noticed a drop off of sales, lots of buyers need an estate and they’re aren’t hardly any 10 year old petrols available. The 10 year old prestige diesel estate market IMO is alive and kickin... Plus I’m still nicking a couple a week on the block..

Overspray isn't acceptable, its unprofessional. It means poor prep and the sprayer isn't taking pride and doing his job right. Totally not acceptable in my book.

Everyone does business which has been initiated by email and we all embrace, we would be mad not to. I have been a business trading on ebay since 2002, with in excess of 3300 with 100%. Sadly, over the years the quality of the clientele has changed massively. My post is specifically about abuse from a moron, it is not about a lesson in how to answer an email.
