Cud some kind person get me a number on preloved

Because if we all did the same the site could not exist. It is, in my opinion, stealing just as much as walking into a shop and nicking five quid's worth of stuff is.

Yes, terribly set up site moomin!

For those who don't know, you only have to pay to get the contact details on new ads. Older ads are free to everyone to see, you just pay a small fee to get access to the number before anyone else snaps up what you want.

Not really the point. If there's a fee, it should be paid. If someone isn't happy to pay it, they shouldn't use the site.

I paid £5 recently for a whole year.....not exactly extortionate...a useful local site IMHO. Bit mean to ask to use someone else's £5 to get info!!!!
 
I love preloved for buying and selling, I have had some really good deals from there and you can negotiate which you cant do on ebay. I have also sold a few saddles on there without the crazy ebay fees!!

That said some of the advert wordings are pretty shocking and horse sales wise it does seem to attract some of the cheaper end of the market. Nothing wrong with that though certainly locally it isn't as low as DD standards

But I don`t mind, I wouldn`t have offered the info if I did ;)

It`s my fiver, I paid it fair and square to get access, and i`m helping some one out as people have done for me in the past. Seller gets the sale quickly, buyer gets what they were wanting ... that`s win win to me ... :)

Agree, think preloved is good. Can't get on with Gumtree! The fiver gives me access to the new stuff, good value for me!

So will you shoplift for the next person who asks you to give them something that they are supposed to pay a business for?

What you did was theft. You gave someone a product which they were supposed to pay five pounds to have access to.

Yeah but at the end of the day, it's one person, then another, then a hundred more etc etc....

It's the same as these god awful ads on FB and such like asking for this, that and the rest of it 'as cheap as possible' or free. People expect something for nothing now, and it does start to really grate when you see it day in, day out.

OK, so now we know you're not that unhappy with people stealing a fiver - can you give us the amount of money that would start to make you feel uncomfortable?

You see, where does it stop????

I do know there are bigger things to worry about in the world :) And I'm disgusted that if you steal billions and are a banker you can walk away!!

Then how come it cost me £25 to join??? I also didnt have my bank card with me at the time, i was doing a favour for a 95 year old gent who wanted a cub saddle for his grandson.

Is it so flipping hard to help people these days. Frankly cptrayes why dont you and other nasties on this forum, go and do the foxtrotoscar instead of staring at the inside of your fundamental orifice.

Wow, nice.

I'm sorry, but who it was for is irrelevant. I could use the excuse of nicking a fiver's worth of food from Sainsbury's in order to 'help the aged', but it's still out and out stealing.

I am quite sure the 'elderly gentleman' could have waited until you picked up your bank card..

I could have waited 7 days and then the details would have been available, but heyho, my flipping bank card isnt attached to me 24hrs a day.

You must be a business member. It's a fiver for the public and there are free membership offers at the moment.

How old is the 95 yr old man's grandson ? I have visions of a 40yr old wanting a cub saddle :)

I'll go back to examining my fundamental orifice, along with the other nastties who dared to mention the ethics of paying a small charge for a service.
 
I paid a fiver and joined but for the sole purpose of getting a phone number from an advert for a horse for a friend. So, did I abuse the system ('shoplifting' for friend)? Did the friend? (She got the horse free to good home, so the only money spent was my fiver!)

So your friend was too hard up to not only pay five quid to get a number but she also got a free horse...hope she's not too hard up to pay for it's keep

And it's not nice for those of us that do pay it to see everyone else abuse the system.

This basically ^^^^ - there have been one or two of these requests recently; and each time I've wondered why someone just doesn't stump up the five quid and be done with it. If you can't be @rsed to do that, then go onto E-bay where you don't pay to register FFS!
