I am afraid I have been attacked by a keyboard warrior on a site that says I am a bad person. Firstly I am not a trader, never have been and never will buy to sell for profit. I do however love my hobby of the last 55 years and do sell layouts that I make after I have finished with them on the Exhibition circuit, this also applies to stock that ran on them. I am moving from OO to O gauge at present because at 75 years old so there are some surplus stock. I can work on O Gauge better.

I was selling some OO stock that I no longer had a layout for to people I thought were nice people – I like my hard work of over 50 years to go to a good home. These people asked for a price on four items and I told them I wanted £220 total but would except £200 – they then came back and said £180, I said no, it was £200 or no deal, they then said £190 – by this time I was fed up with the whole thing and did not reply to them, they then came back and said OK £200, again I did not reply as I had had enough. I then started getting Emails and Facebook messages asking me to reconsider, even from this chaps wife – it was overpowering so I just wanted to walk away from them and possibly the hobby. Now they have posted on a Bad Sellers website saying I am a bad person and don’t buy from me. Well that’s it folks – no more helping people with talking them thro’ modelling problems for nothing and painting and weathering for people at the cost of the paints – its over. I am also considering coming off the Exhibition Circuit immediately. Its great how one keyboard warrior in these awful days we live in can spoil many peoples pleasure.

This will be my only reply – and will not reply on that site as I do not want to stoop to their level – thanks friends for the last 55 years – it was great.
