SimonKE unless you want your account suspended, I'd shut up if I were you!!
Only teasing...no risk of being flamed...
I'm sure you'd noticed, but I've just been given a moderating role on this site. I've no intention of being heavy handed in any aspect, but one of my primary duties is ensuring the site guidelines are "enforced".
Given that one of those guidelines is No Profiteering in Sell or Swap forum then that's what we'll aim to achieve. It's never going to work 100%, or satisfy everyone. However, a more active moderation than we are used to might result in something closer to the guidelines. My personal view, and I stand to be corrected, is that "reasonable" costs can be requested (postage, even an allowance for calls to ACO - certainly no more than a fiver or thereabouts onto ticket price).
It's already been pointed out today in another post where tickets can be freely traded. Maybe I should guide profiteers towards those sites in the Guidelines post.
I'm wondering whether to delete links or references to specific ads, as that could be seen as a way round the site "rules" - if a person advertises elsewhere and then links to it from here is virtually the same as posting here. However today's post was to point out the crazy prices and was not promoting the sale, in my opinion.
Regarding "Offers invited" ads, at the moment I'm considering not deleting them, but instead adding a reminder about the site guidelines. Their fate will probably be very subjective depending on my mood
