Myford monopoly ??

As many will know Ower Gert has been selling bits on Ebay forengineers for a while.However since RDG has taken over Myfords they are systematicallyhaving any object containing the word Myford removed from Ebay.Whether it's listed as a genuine Myford, a pattern part or even asecond hand part they are being removed.Jim Marshall who trades as Lathe-Parts UK and sells genuine Myfordsecond hand spares has even had some of his listings removed.Does this mean you can no longer sell a secondhand Myford or any partsoff it, seems as if they think so.Rather ironic that for years they have sold cheap import patterns fromIndia which ultimately helped the demise of Myfords and they were notstopped, but now the boot is on the other foot it's different.We are not the only people being attacked, Jim Marshall as mentionedand even Chronos have had items removed.Just a heads up on the new owners underhanded ways of trading.John S.

Possibly a reluctant apology John. Just shows a business can only take so much bad press/exposure before the mud sticks ;) Damage is probably done now though at least with some.
