SHITBAGS.

Sorry I get really angry when I see barstewards selling info like this - when we all go to great lenghts to help each other for free.

I hate to think what they would list if they got access to the info on here.

I just clicked on the "ask seller a question" link. This is what I wrote:

You w*nker. It's dead easy to remove the omega clocks and change bulbs, this information is freely available on the internet without having to give fools like you any money. Get a job. Looser.

Maybe a little too outspoken :D

I guess there may still be some people out there who don't realise that there are other options for them to find information, this forum being the ultimate! You gotta feel sorry for them. In relation to the seller...MGB!

How about one of us put a similar auction on ebay, but in description give our URL here ;)

Set it with 1p start, but invite only auction so nobody can bid on it ;)

I take it from your question to the seller that you have never considered a career with the diplomatic squad [smiley=rolleyes.gif] ;D

Hmmm .... tried - but I can't find the option to make it invite only, perhaps because I'm a private seller ???
