<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hamburger, post: 3837379, member: 17940&quot;]Slightly off topic, and I&#039;m absolutely not speaking for anyone else, but this is probably worth posting all the same: There are several reasons why you might (should) find that people are reluctant to comment publicly on an item that is currently up for sale or auction. The most obvious is that they don&#039;t want to feel responsible for other people&#039;s buying or selling decisions. Some boards effectively ban it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bear in mind, too, that there&#039;s always a possibility that someone giving you free advice on the internet may be involved in some way in the transaction you&#039;re considering. That&#039;s absolutely <b><i>not</i></b> aimed at anyone here, just a general reminder that even lovely parts of the internet (like Antiquers!) should never be regarded as 100% secure, especially if a post indicates that someone is ready to part with hundreds of pounds, euros or dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>People here are generally kinder than elsewhere on the internet and you might get a warning if you&#039;re about to make an obvious mistake, or a reply -- possibly private -- if anyone has especially good or bad experience with the seller or auction house (in this case it appears to be Piers Motley Auctions of Devon, England).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
