Progress eh?!! We have all these selling sites available so we can buy and sell from our armchairs, yet it is now more difficult to make a straight sale than it has ever been.
In the good old days you advertised something with a 'phone number, someone came round to look at it (or you met up at a race) and the deal was done with cash to cheque exchanged.
Now I have to make a video or take a photo/s, check everyone out, arse about with some form of payment, hope to God that the guy on the other end doesn't scam me and then go through hell on earth if they do.
Oople is at least somewhere you can ask others about potential buyers and sellers, but a well-placed ad at a race meeting is still me preferred means of selling. We should all do that a bit more.
