As noted, I sent @Nunogilberto (and the OP) PMs to take it out of the thread. However, my thoughts are pretty much exactly spelled out by others in this thread - most notably, the posts from @bob21, @WezV, @littlegreenman and @Teetonetal. Probably not a lot of point reiterating.
Like. Very much like
But if you asked God to invent a marketplace which was dripping with buyers who would appreciate and deserve a Chibson, he would offer you.......Gumtree.
Just a thought.

Should be no more than half that, surely?
Sometimes, people on forums can be very rude to others online, in much the same way as people in cars can to other motorists. In both cases people seem to forget that they're actually communicating with another human being. But this isn't a sociology forum, so enough of that.
Thanks to all of you who've helped me out with various guitar-nerding problems. I forget all the names but ICBM stands out. Good luck to you all.
Cheerio.
I've long thought, and will long think, that we're living in an era of unprecedented change in many aspects of interpersonal relationship & communication.
For just-about-ever, we've only communicated face-to-face. It's how we (as a species) learned to communicate. We didn't just use spoken words (or grunts or whatever), we used facial expressions, body positioning, and a whole range of non verbal signals. Communicating via the written word (aka "books", "newspapers", et al), changed that a little, but that was a one-to-many medium in which there was little right or expectation of reply and we still relied almost exclusively on the spoken word for the vast majority of our interactions.
In 20 years, the internet has completely disrupted millennia of accepted and expected norms.
We no longer see each other when we're "talking", we lose a huge amount of richness of context and understanding.
We're still working out how to deal with that, and will still be working it out for decades or centuries to come. Probably not millennia, because we probably don't have that long.
So, can people be rude to each other online? Absolutely. Of course. And sometimes deliberately so.
Othertimes, I prefer to believe that it's not rudeness, it's just a failure (on one side or the other, or both) to understand the impact of our new media and how to use it (to send and receive) our communication signals to each other.
Hey ho.
