Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Can't honestly believe the amount of F@@@wits that ask that question on certain forums on something you could friggin Google in 5 mins,and then you don't get a please or thank you,honestly boils my p&ss.Yes we all have to ask on the knowledge of others but as for manners...........I must be old fashioned. .

Davejb Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 No mate your not alone there, it used to happen all the time on WRF, then you would get insulted by some twat because he thought you were wrong 4
Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Honestly a few weeks ago I had a guy buy a couple of bits and ask 'Can I send you questions on stuff I don't know ?'. Well of course being pleasant the answer was yes,until for two solid days on the run I had pictures and what's this worth messages!. Then I find he has opened a shop having no great Knowledge of stuff quoting how he has a dedicated collector ( ie me) who can identify and offer pricing and advice on military items should you wish to sell !.( I suppose I should be honoured lol ) Thank you but no thanks 40 years of knowledge for your personal gain,lol,I don't think so.Thank god for the unfriend and block button.

Davejb Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 You missed out there mate , should have sent him a bill for being an independent assessor lol 2
HetzersGonnaHetz Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 @Ham & Jam is it a problem when I ask how much something is worth before I buy it, so I don't get ripped off?
Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 @HetzersGonnaHetz no not you ya daft hapeth lol,unless you've opened a shop . New collectors and even us old collectors have to ask now and again for help ( see my 100+ can you identify posts lol).
48STARS Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 For me, a quick Ebay completed listings search is good enough to determine a buy or not. Smart phone and a minute or two gets the job done out in the field. Then it's fun to learn as much as I can after getting home. 2

Well, I don't have to worry about that happening! Now if I sold it for what I bought it 40 years ago...... Edited March 15, 2016 by ahrtal 1
Manu Della Valle Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I ask that myself at least twelveleven times a day,do a little math and say to myself "Manu...you're a rich man!",then fell prey to total depression when I think that I'll never,ever sell my junk and probably die broke in a cold alley dressed as a DAK soldier! 3
Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I take it then you are having an open coffin lol
Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Well it was once said that I am 'quite comfortable around death that one ?,' I didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or not lol Edited March 16, 2016 by Fred Karno's Army
