Why do I attract idiots!! (Another eBay rant)

I have an LPG tank, half full of gas, complete with valve and gauge. I have sold it three times now and still it is sitting in my yard. I listed it on eBay and clearly stated 'Collection Only' and explained it was prohibited goods for a carrier.

The first buyer messaged me "can you put it on a carrier for me" Doh!!

So I relisted it, the second buyer messaged me "Sorry, I thought you were is Maidstone" ... Noooo .. Miles away ...Read the listing"

So I relisted again, the third buyer said "Didnt realise I needed more than just a tank to run my car on gas" ...aaaarrcghh!!!

Is there a more than vaguely intelligent person out there in LCBland who wants a free 70litre half full Stako LPG tank c/w Tomasseto valve. p.s. it's collection only!

I needed a LPG filler (and still do) so I contacted a blokey who had a few tanks and various other LPG bits for sale. He said he wouldn't sell me just the hose and filler but if I won the auction, he would post the bits I needed and relist what was left. I won the auction for £11.45. Then the guy decided it wasn't worth him posting the hose and filler even though I paid in full. I was sorely tempted to drive the 400miles to collect the whole pile just to wee him off!!

I have one on eBay right now

Autogas LPG filler point - bayonet angled fitting with flush panel mount box

It was included with the tank but I decided to sell it separately.
