rtbiscuit Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 just been to Tesco's, they were really great, they let me browse around and touch all the produce, they weren't pushy at all, after an hour and a half I finally made my choices and am now the happy owner of some fruit. They weren't pushy at all, and made me feel really welcome. And were very good at taking my money. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Meh - Not so happy with Tesco's here sainsburys have a better selection - the guys in the car park can be a bit pushy about having your car washed while you are there though!

rtbiscuit Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Damn Rich who annoyed you I'm a strong believer that this forum is here to help the members, but of recent it feels like its more here to help certain traders. If I was looking at buying I'd want to be able to ask for help or post up links with out the worry of my research being someone elses profit margin. Or the fact members are being directed to just 1 trader, not because they are the best but just because they have a fan club. I have started when people ask for products listing all the traders I know for parts and recommending people check them all. I also don't recommend people who I don't think do a good job. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Most of the feedback is un necessary, or praises something that is standard service. Or traders I wouldn't trust a childrens toy car with get bigged up, just because its seems to be the place to promote. Others seem to buy their praise. And because its very trade centric on here you have traders jumping in on posts recommending their products, not always because its the best product or price for the member, but because its the best profit for the trader. This isn't always the case with all traders. And a lot are good and offer a good service, but its the way the forum now feels on a whole. That its set up for the traders benefit not the members benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I should point out, I do trade on here, but what's not always seen is the Pm's where if I don't think I can either offer the right service or the right price I'll actually recommend alternative options or other trader options off the forum. I try to make sure the members get the best service, and not me getting the best profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benedunn Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Having been on plenty of forums over the years I can kinda get the point here. When i joined i was quite surprised by the way that traders offer assistance directly in the open and also list prices on threads themselves. Most other forums (and im a trader myself on some) there seems to be a bit of an unwritten rule that traders have there own subforums and other than to offer assistance in the ways of free advice all advertising should be kept in there. Should a customer/ potential customer require and answer to a question that they want asking publicly they would do so by starting a thread in the traders own space. Ive already had a couple of experiences with traders on here and fortunately they have been as you'd expect from a forum trader - CS Motorsport in particular went lengths further than the call of duty to help me out with the offer of further assistance if required - despite me being a nobody on here - which i though was great. On the other hand there is a trader on here who unless i had no other option i would try to avoid using - no mention of who they are, though im fairly sure the service from them would be fantastic there seems to be a lack of etiquette to balance it out. Forum's should remain for there members 1st and foremost - Although it makes sense for members to have preferred traders who can and should be invited to trade on the forums i think that they should be sought out and not be mardering people. I think the trouble you have is though if 1 trader is bashing away on every thread saying 'we sell this for this price, use us! were the best' then the others will feel the need to also in order to get a look in - resulting in the seemingly shameless advertising on most threads that come up parts orientated Maybe i aught to keep my nose out mind. But i do get where the OP's coming from - perhaps even more noticeable from a newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
