Pigeons For Sale Page

[swilcox]

I may be opening a can of worms here but its a question i feel needs to be discussed.

 

Pigeonbasics is currently and have for a while run a For Sale page of which many use, its not free as it requires a donation!!! Myself i offer a top quality pigeon each year and donate 100% to the running of the site, Last year it was £180 of which i hope really helped Richard, the same will be done this term.

 

Some of the members are taking  offence to me selling pigeons on pb, others see it as interesting and an opertunity to see whats available and new. I dont really enjoy being attack regular basis for selling pigeons when to be honest i merely passing them on at the price i paid!!!!

 

So my question is do the members want the for sale pages and if so can they be run without the sellers being attacked.

 

For example Harky has accused me of not giving pigeons to Help People when i have donated pigeons this year alone to Greengrass, SHU Auction (going on now), Young Fanciers Competition, 3 x Transportor Sales etc. If people are going to put these comments in writing they at least have to be correct!!!!!

 

I have been a member of Pigeon Basics for a long time and value my membership and would like to continue to help finance the site through are pigeon donations.

I feel the 'For Sale' pages are a great part of PB.

Over the past few years through buying and selling birds I've made some great friends and not only that, it's nice to see how well your own birds perform in other parts of Britain.

 

I myself have sold birds on PB and have made donations towards the running costs.

My personal thought on the subject is, if someone sells birds through the site a small donation should be made.......that's not asking much.

 

As far as Stuart is concerned, anytime he advertises birds on this site they are certainly quality birds that would grace anyone's loft.

So to lose the opportunity of purchasing class pigeons would be a great loss to the members.

 

What are the members thoughts on this subject??

I got no probs with you selling here Stu..

[Guest]

Hi Stuart, i think your doing a grand job, keep it up, ........amanda ;D

[Guest jason]

I think the sale pages are great, if theres something your looking for just go on and its usually there for sale. I also think,as its a free service, that a donation is in order, as for stuart, he gives good donations so I personally can't see any problem as long as the seller gives a donation.

sellers have to pay advertising elsewhere so whats wrong with giving a donation?.

stuart is a genuin pigeon dealer, i have obtained pigeons in the past are are very very well bred pigeons, and value for money stu dosent ask for a lot for his pigeons and i think are slighty under valued compared to other dealers. so stu u do a great job mate and keep it up

Stuart the way you conduct yourself on this site in my view is A1.

[DOVEScot]

If theres a place on the site, as in pigeons for sale etc, then why would anyone object to one using it, maybe there should be a place on the site for donations received against list of names or visa versa

We have had some cracking pigeons from members which probably would not have if not for the "for sale" section

[Guest]

The problem with selling pigeons in this game is you have to be thick skinned. You always get people having a go. No one has a go at you when you are forking out good money to buy the best. But heaven forbid if you try to sell some. The top and the bottom of it all is this, if someone wants to sell or buy a bird for whatever price they want, and one of the parties isn't you, WHY BECOME INVOLVED! If you don't want to buy/sell, then don't! Leave the people alone to get on with their business! UNLESS, you can prove that there is a rip-off happening, that would be different!

Stuart, take no notice of anyone, do what you want to do, as long as its not causing damage to anyone else, it has nothing to do wih them! Good luck!

[Guest]

Stuart there is no need for you to explain yourself, the reputation you have on here will not be undermined by a couple of stupid comments!!

Having read the origonal thread on the for sale section, Harky's comment would only be fair if was true that a member only used the site to sell birds :-/

[The White Rapido Man]

ditto to all the above....

 

there are always hecklers.....I have encountered them myself on here.....

 

I think one can only put it down to jelousy..........

 

I love looking at birds for sale....................and as I mentioned before,.....everything has a price....asnd if buyer and seller are happy..then whats is the big deal.....................this is a basic principle economics.... :-/

 

.....................good on you stuart for making the odd quid......and indeed contributing to the site...........top bloke!  

    

[thunderboult]

[GREENGRASS]

KEEP THEM COMING STUART............you very kindly donated a youngster to our federation sale this year which was very much appreciated and i also have had some quality birds from you over the last few seasons, just ignore the a**holes and keep up the good work.

[Dougie]

Must say that every thing I have bought from Stuart has been 1st class.

If I wasn't satisfied I would say so. Stuart is always keen to help. Bought a cock bird and he supplied me with a Hen at a really good price. I bought these birds because I wanted them, nobody forced me to buy them.If they were not for sale on PB I would not have them.

So keep up the good work Stuart all the best.  

[Guest]

Yes, totally agree with Dougie. I have bought from Stuart in the past, although not via pb. I was extremely pleased with the birds. Definately got value for money!

[jimmy white]

i have purchased pigeons from stuart ,, very pleased indeed with them , value for money ,i would say , if hes donating to pb,[,,keep donating stu ;D,], the members are happy with the birds they purchase ,,,,,, stuart is  happy with his adverts , all happy   :) nowt wrong with that ,,,,i just wonder how many members have donated for the service pb gives them   i, for one have paid my way    [it costs money to run the forum]so all you scoffers  ;D ;D ;D get your hand in your pocket and send at least something  

p,s out of the few ive purchased ,ive given the yb,s away , 2 winners reported , differant members  

[Ronnie]

Got to agree with all the post about Stuart being a top bloke on here.

But as for selling birds ,a perspective buyer should have the right to ask questions about the bird he or she is interested in.The Naysayers and hecklers should be stopped but genuine parties who are interested should be able to ask questions.Opinions should be kept to yourself if not asked for.

keep up the good work Stuart, ur doing fine by the site,

[pouw22]

Hi All,I Think the for sale section is great,and as for stuart,Imet him for the first time this year after buying a bird from him via this site , went down to bristol to collect it ,during this time i told him i was buying some birds in from holland and was facing problems getting them over,having only just met the man he offered to ship them over for me ,a few weeks later  and i was on my way to his home to collect them,Genuine guy.A sale room is just that if you dont like what is on offer dont buy its that simple cheers phil.
