Collecting Cars

[cayman-black]

None seems to talk about CC,s anymore, anyone bought or looking at something?
I notice that they seem to have a few Italian cars advertised now are they selling in the UK?

The previous thread was locked.

[cayman-black]

I did see that but we should still be allowed to discuss what's selling or not on there surely.

[Leftfootwonder]

So long as we don't mention any small print, we'll be fine to carry on I hope. Some very tasty machines on there currently.

The last thread was locked when some unhappy buyers and sellers made statements that the Collecting Cars guys didn’t want made public.

Not strictly true: it was locked when posters broke the rules on naming and shaming by repeatedly making potentially defamatory comments.

Your statement above is a prime example: it is potentially defamatory.

Stick to the rules, avoid conjecture and just discuss the cars for sale and this thread will be fine.

So what was posted by its previous customers was all made up and figments of their imagination?

You aren’t going to win this argument.

Isn’t that actually what forums are for, provided always that people are factually accurate?

We should be able to discuss the legal status of sales through any platform and the associated terms and conditions of the contract.
Nothing defamatory about that.

We have no idea. That's why the Posting Rules are quite simple and clear: Pistonheads doesn't allow any naming or shaming. This isn't a forum to discuss or resolve disputes or complaints from one or all parties.

Now, back to discussing the cars for sale at Collecting Cars or this thread too will be locked and/or removed.

You can only post and discuss what is allowed in the rules of this forum. Simple, surely?

The owners of this site and forum determine what can and can't be posted here. It's their trainset; if you want to play you adhere to the rules (and in fact you have already agreed to adhere to them when signing up).

[cayman-black]

Nothing on there at the moment that has caught my eye but I am curious about the European stock they have on, are they selling to UK bidders?

Yes.

[bigmowley]

Please don’t get this thread locked as well. I for one enjoyed the discussion about various cars, specs, values etc. in the last thread and I miss it.
I don’t see any value in discussing the minutia of various legal aspects of the running of the site in this forum.
Let’s stick to the cars.

Yaris Gr went for £41,500 plus fees (around £44,000 in total). Bonkers.

[Trev450]

Agreed. I'm sure they are a great and fun little package, but never worth a £10k premium surely.

Sadly it won't be long before the usual suspects turn up with an axe to grind and ruin it for everyone else !

Or perhaps it’s existing customers warning others.

It is a absolute joke that if this was a eBay thread the comments from real users would be embraced rather than shouted down by the ‘oh you have an axe to grind’ commenters.
