Yep that's the way forward.

We need some rules! Where's the boss got to?

[scratchandsniff]

If i bid against anyone on here then I apoligise, as I dont look at who the highest bidder is or the bidding history.
If I see something i'm after I snipe it and forget all about it until the auction ends.

[Sooper]

Well that's fine for you but some of us have a certain amount of honour and I for one will stand aside if a half decent member on here has bid on something I'm interested in.

Word.

Yep i agree with that comment its all about doing the right thing in my view. I dont think we should stop posting links but stop visitors roaming around.
Maybe we should reveal our ebay identities for those of us whose arent anything like they are on here?

I know Shelltoes ebay name , its his graf name from the olden times!

[the_marsbar]

Yeah that's what I thought, so we can recognize each other. I'd not bid on something I knew someone else from here was onto.

Would be good but only the man Olstar can do that and he's a busy fella, in the meantime us mods can delete ebay threads so would be easier

[Shorty]

Even if we stopped visitors checking out the site, I still think banning links to ebay auctions is a good idea. Given the fact that we're all soup fanatics, telling others about a 'gem' on the bay shouldn't be neccessary imo. If people want something enough they will find it themselves.
For me part of the fun of collecting is putting the work in, trawling through the listings in order to find what I really want.
Alerting everyone to an auction just doesn't seem fair.
You snooze you lose I guess.

That said, I wouldn't bid against another member if they'd put down a marker bid already.

Alternatively, we could just have a nice game of conkers to detemine who gets the kicks

Now we're talking !

[Shorty]

Thats cheating, you're well out of order!!  

*Storms off in a huff*

[mr.pure]

Oh allright, I won't boil my nuts in vinegar.



*Starts painting solid silver conker.*

Stick em in the oven on a low heat, that's the trick

On a side not, anyone remember doing this with crisp bags to make them shrink?

Works really well wih a microwave!

[woody]

Does it still work???? What type of crisp bags you use?

Shall we talk microwave fun? Did you know if you put a lightbulb with the metal part at the bottom in a glass of milk it will light up when you turn the micro on?

[mr.pure]

It can be water.
Try a metal scouring pad.



Second thoughts don't.

I put 2 dozen eggs in someones microwave once, put the oven on several times and nothing happened so we put it on for half hour and went to play cards.
Twenty minutes later, the door of the microwave came flying off !

Yup, i've used any bag i can but walkers and mccoys seem to work pretty well.

[woody]

How long you put it in for?

Also, try cutting a grape in half and put that in, should get electricity dancing accross it
