Include the whole ad in your post. Don’t just lazily put a link to your ad on another website – include all the details in your post. Links to ads on other websites (with the exception of eBay ads that conform to our eBay ad rule) will be deleted.

We're not allowed.

If you're interested in buying something then you are certainly allowed to point out unrealistic pricing and suggest a more reasonable amount.

Well yes, but that's a fine line, that's a recent change because people were spoiling threads by just posting to say "that's only £20 cheaper than x". Which is pretty off.

Maybe I misunderstood the new rules.

Not that it affects me, I just send all my derisory offers via email. 8)

There were a few over-enthusiastic price vigilantes who didn't always understand the subtle differences that make some MTB kit worth more, better damping in forks etc.

But I think the classifieds have become such a buyers' market that chancers are finding it harder to shift overpriced stuff anyway.

I haven't had your derisory offers on my current batch of overpriced tat Jamie, is your email working?

If a classifieds-only poster advertises an item without pictures, using bad spelling and grammar and excessive capitalisation, should I trust his free Haribo to be legit?

Yup that's how it works.

Posting something like.

"I can get it cheap lol lol lol"

Isn't Ok.

Forget posting for sale in the classifieds. If I want to shift something I check the wanted section. How about finding a buyer? It's when you offer the exact item requested and get dicked about for it that pisses me off. Tried to sell some mallet 3's as new, boxed. And was offered some tatty XT As a swap. I don't clip in! That's why I'm selling the mallets. Why would I swap them or a tatty second hand pair of pedals I can buy new for £10 cheaper than I'm selling mine for? Same with a pair of old school pikes, VCG £100 posted. Sold both on eBay no hassle and I got more than I was asking on here, and that was not a lot to people who were asking for these items? STW classifieds wast of time IMO. Never got a thanks for the X9 jockey bolt I posted out to some random for free either. I live in hope.
