And that, fellow sailors, is why internet trolls like Goochie are more of a threat on forums like this than any healthy debate about the allowance or restriction of something as mundane as Ebay, for they promote disharmony and feed on it. You know what to do with a troll ... Ignore him ...

... Why? Because that's Ebay's purpose and it works. Surely, not a revelation, that. Bigger market, more viewers, better search, auction & offers allowed, no arbitrary limit, not bogged down in chat, ... for myself, I posted more than a dozen things here and only sold one ... posted the same...

Sold. Sold

edited 20/5/12 16:45 - S O L D. This is a great DVD ... I learned a lot from it ... Short Description: "The Pardeys take you out to sea and demonstrate methods to bring your boat and crew safely through storms with your gear and dreams intact. Join them near South Africa's Cape of Storms...

Right. I listed these last week and over the last 7 days they had the 2nd or 3rd highest hit rate on this forum board, but they haven't sold ... that tells me that the price I'm asking may be too high ... so I'm lowering it! That's not to say I would sell these like some cheapie no-name product...

I have to call these "Used" but they are really "As New", for the wife has only used her foulies two or three times ... sorry to say she doesn't sail with me anymore! They are about 5 years old, were hardly ever used, and were stored away since 2008. They are labelled "Performance", and...

I'm selling off some of my miscellaneous kit and sundries. I've listed most on EBay (see below). Alternatively, you can contact me directly and cut out the middleman! DVD: Understanding Electronic Navigation...

Chrisgee - pm sent.

Yes. My boat, a 2003 Beneteau 36 Oceanis in the Med (Nice) has been listed for sale for over 3 months now and has had exactly FOUR (4) enquiries in that time, none serious enough to even go aboard and no offers. She's with a top broker and priced right; broker says all enquiries down. Anybody...

Won't be able to make it this year ... come September I will be at sea somewhere in the Med. Best wishes, all. PS. Also, have to say I was over that way just about 3 weeks ago ... when you lot get there would someone be good enough to give the French fishermen a 2 fingered salute for me ...

If you want a real scandal about wages in the maritime industry, look no further than the pathetic pay most professional yachtmasters make ... for example, Sunnysail and others pay about £8-£10 an hour for their skippers Portsmouth, and pity the poor delivery guys - if they get paid at all...

Re: Holiday/crew opp, Corsica/Cote d\'Azur, circa 1 Sept teejayem - thanks; a pm has been sent back to you ...

Had the fishermen kept people OUT of their blockade area then I would accept the "labour relations" agrument. To keep them IN against their will is something completely different. Some things are indeed national culture or ethnocentric, but hostage taking - which is what this sort of thing is...

I agree with you completely Grumpy. One can "understand" the greivance but for some posters here to actually praise and condone such tactics and antics is irresponsible and reprehensible.

Holiday/crew opp, Corsica/Cote d\'Azur, circa 1 Sept My wife and I will be doing a lazy, gentle cruise north from Ajaccio along the Corsican coast and then on to Nice about the 1st week of September; friend's wife is now pregrant and they have cancelled; I'd like an extra pair of hands (or...
