Auction addiction!
Help!
lol I need money to pay for my addiction... only joking! I have now put something up for auction - a tour of Cape Town and the Garden Route. My rates for tours seem to be better than other tour operators (by quite a bit) and this one has a further 25% off for the sake of the auction. Tell me what you think of my ad? I THINK this is the link: http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296-...iptionANDimage Took me about 4 hours to complete the listing, not to mention the 6 hours beforehand creating the html code and working out the best offer I could make. I think I should apply for work as a web designer - maybe there's more money there! :-) Catherine -- ==Not nuts, just a little eccentric== www.africanbush.co.za African Bush Tours and Safaris P O Box 232, Rouxville, 9958, South Africa Tel (+27) 051 663-0170 or Mobile (+27) 082 490-5485 |

... This is spamming. Please stop doing that. Barend Oh dear, I am sorry. I was continuing with a topic we had on the needlework group, and when I posted I decided to post here as well since it was travel-related. I didn't see it like that (as spam, I mean) but realise how it could be perceived. I was actually more interested in your opinion of my html skills and whether I'd forgotten something than in promoting anything else. I'll try to be more careful in future. Catherine |

This is interesting.
I sent Catherine a private message a couple of weeks ago explaining that the newsgroup is not the place for marketing and she apologized and said she wouldn't. Then, the posting she did about her auction - and her rates - came along. |

Just the most recent of a long line of (almost exclusively) South African guides who seem to think r.t.a is a good place to ply their wares. For Catherine et al: This is the appropriate paragraph from the rec.travel.africa charter, which I'm just passing on for info: I had no hand in its authorship: "This is not a forum for advertising and commercial interests and such posts will not be welcome. There is nothing wrong with commerce and advertising, this just isn't the place for it. If you have a product or a tour, please post your message in rec.travel.marketplace or other locations."

It is also a convention that you can put any "commercial" links in your sig, if it is not too large (about 4 lines). -- JohnM Author of Brazil: Life, Blood, Soul & Rainbow Diary: A Journey in the New South Africa http://www.scroll.demon.co.uk/spaver.htm |
