for example; you dont see adds on jm/gumtree/on shoprite's notice board P.metallica's or subfusca's for sale from scarab or cerat.

Suppose that's true.
Will mail people then.
Thanks for the replies.

Never sold a T and it'll be some time before I do, if I ever do.

My 2 cents though, you always see these signs: "Right of admission reserved"
I would say the same should apply to sellers not having an actual premises. However if you are really pedantic about who you're selling to perhaps build up a mailing list and only advertise to the "known goods"?

I placed an add in the Kazakstan Herold. It read " P metallica for sale, except to Cerat and Zane 'cause they are chops. Only 2 trillion Kazakhstani tenge, contact Scarab"

Care to elaborate ?

I feel that the wheel turns.
I would rather sell to people that have treated me well for less money than sell to someone that I have had run ins with in the past for double that.

Yes, I know that the same principle works on me, as I have not always made friends on here, but that is something I have to deal with from my side.
I have made more good friends on here than mortal enemies, so for me its a win in the end.

It would also kill me selling, for example, a local (With a permit of course) to someone that I know shouldn't be allowed to keep spiders, but I have to as I have put an ad up.

LOL

I see. It is a personal outlook though, and I respect that, BUT, in your case it would then be better to keep advertising to private emails.
