Personal situations aside, I agree 100% Nigel.
I have had a Chase Miles for trade since he came out. They were selling around Rip prices on eBay (25-30 quid) but I was hoping that I could trade him straight up for Rip. Sadly no one seemed to want him and hes now more readily available its unlikely I get that trade.
One thing that bugs me around ebay and collectors however is thus. On the PCD facebook page, it says, and I quote "Listing Cars you have for sale is fine with me, as long as you're not listing them at eBay like prices"
I assume that this stands for the forums too?
Yet there are members who I wont name who have been offering, for example, Haulers for north of 50 quid. That is ebay prices imo yet its against the quoted "rules"
Similarly, people are not open to trading Rip for say, Boost with flames as the "ebay value" doesnt match up. Totally pi$$es me off.
Outside of the pegwarmers such as LMQ/Finn/Francesco, I just dont understand it outside of people's greed.
It should be as simple as I have a car you want, you have a car I want, trade! but folks think that Rip is hard to get therefore maybe worth 2,3 or even 4 of my cars.
I get the superchase things and in fairness, people have said, I want X chase, willing to trade either X, Y and Z for it. Invariably, people have had to trade multiple cars for one car. As collectors (and whilst I am a collector, I enjoy collecting them but do it for my sons primarily) it should be far, far more alturistic however maybe I am being naive.
