Jack Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Blimey - for those wanting some armour then Milweb seems to have loads for sale!!! Nice Jimmies on there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Why, oh why do sellers insist on putting £POA on these adverts?? :banghead: Do they like lots of phone calls asking how much so they can endeavour to sell other things? Or is it an elitist view of the MV world, akin to the old Rolls Royce one of "If you have to ask - you can't afford it"??? If I read an ad on MilWeb I like to know roughly where it is and how much the owner is asking. I know what I can afford and if the indicated price is outside of that I read on - £POA is a singularly irritating phenomenon!! :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Or is it an elitist view of the MV world, akin to the old Rolls Royce one of "If you have to ask - you can't afford it"??? Think you've pretty much hit it on the head there! :argh: If I read an ad on MilWeb I like to know roughly where it is and how much the owner is asking. I know what I can afford and if the indicated price is outside of that I read on - £POA is a singularly irritating phenomenon!! ??? Try reading a copy of Plant and Farm trader,you'd love it, barely a price published in there, nearly everything POA! It's like their own secret world. I'm different than you I would rarely if ever phone up and request a P.O.A. My opinion is if it's a good price the vendor would be please to state it not hide it. You obviously are not as put off as you suggest, as you seem to have enquired at Boys' about the Autocar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - there is a difference - for a chance to wind up Fearless Leader it's worth having a dig around!! :rofl: :rofl: Wouldn't have bothered if I were looking for myself!!

Advertise the price and be be damned, I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 And what about "Serious enquiries only" or "serious buyers only"? What makes one a serious buyer? Given the price brackets, in reality what they probably mean to say is "I am only going to spend time on enquiries from people with serious deep pockets" H.

Gareth Coe Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 To me, POA means "I'm a grumpy old b*stard and I don't like dealing with the public. P*ss off and spend your money elsewhere" Happy to oblige, so I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 To me it says "I know I'm asking waaaay too much for this and so do you probably, but i haven't got the brass neck to do it publicly and risk ridicule" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
