To be fair to Jayjay, he bought this specifically so that he could pass it on to someone who may want to buy one at cost. He's spent the time and effort and hasn't made any profit. GG products aren't supposed to be easy to come by, yet they have been fairly easy for people on classifieds the last couple of weeks. If you really want one you have already been directed to some on UKV, it was a lot more difficult for some of us to get hold of them, I thought that was part of the justification of high prices

Well, Ellen found one at the time for you, so what's the problem? You seemed to be initmating that there's "Elitism" here and I can ASSURE you that there's not! I waited a couple of weeks before I got mine, admitedly I was lucky, I had had a couple of "just missed" before this, they are a rare item, many people want them and persistence and some patience is the key. Implying that people show favouritism when you've only just asked makes it sound like you're whining and will alienate people who are only too willing to help you. You only asked yesterday. Just keep asking........ And asking!

Here's another one on UK Vapers ukvapers.org/Thread-PENELOPE--5386If you don't have enough posts to login then help yourself by posting, you can build your posts up quickly by doing the "replace one word" thread, intoducing yourself as a newbie and asking if anyone has a Penelope on sale... simples!

I had the pleasure of meeting a few people at Vapefest so they knew I was after a Penelope as well, is that elitism, no it's just luck. Please be patient I am sure you'll get one soon. One last thought, you do know it'll probaly cost you anywhere between £80 and £100? Just a thought.

However, I did pm to the first one saying I would buy it but a reply to the sellers forum later got it as i could not post and that's the way it is with general forum Etiquette.

Lucky, No. Unethical, yes on both parties involved in general forum terms.

You are very likely to alienate people with such a remark and those who might have kept their eyes open for a Penelope for you may now choose to not be so vigilant.

Beacon and eggs, I can assure you there were no dirty tricks.
When I recieved a pm from Dirty burger, I actually got confused thinking it was you. (dirty burger, beacon and eggs, i know they sound nothing like each other, but That is completely the truth). That is why i made an apology to YOU above, stating just that.
I dislike it when someone puts up an add asking for something, only to see a for sale thread right underneath. But I made a mistake.
I made a commitment to ant because he was just unfortunate with his potential purchase. I didn't wanna put a for sale thread up, nor contact you or anyone else until I heard from ant.
There's a lot of dirty tricks being played right now with the pennies. I made zero profit. Honoured a pledge. And You were just unfortunate. I make no further apology because it was made above.

You are very likely to alienate people with such a remark and those who might have kept their eyes open for a Penelope for you may now choose to not be so vigilant. Ok, I apologise for that remark but over the last few months i have been lurking I have seen items for sale in the classifieds where a buyer will say they will have it only to find that post reply from somebody else that so and so was looking for one of them so they don't sell it to the correct person and sold it to a friend of a friend, to me that is not correct. Sorry.

Cheers JayJay, replied to your PMs and I forgot to add to my post that its on the condition that Ant doesnt buy it! Yep, its agreed, we will give ant until 9pm to reply and see if his finances have changed. I think that is fair. And dirty burger, I've just realised, your fortunate to be number two coz I got confused thinking you were beacon and eggs, who I knew is also looking for one and placed the add. But will keep things as we've discussed. Sorry beacon and eggs. Mods I didnt place a seperate add coz in this thread I make it clear ill sell to ant if he can buy. I assume this is ok? Thanks This was my earlier response minutes after discovering you were two different people.
