| Myford Monopoly ?? |

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

John, I've dealt with RDG and consider I've spent quite a bit with them. I sent them a email yesterday about this and said that unless they change their methods I would no longer do business with them. So far I've not recieved an email back from them. With business practices like this they may as well be wearing SS uniforms. And your as usuall quite correct about them selling cheap knock offs that hastened Myfords demise. Ebay is just as bad for taking RDGs side too. There's no way any of this is legal. Pete |

shocking, hope they lose customers with that attitude |

Ooops, Just had a Dividing plate suitable for a Myford dividing head removed from Ebay. Same old excuse, using the Myford name. Perhaps we should have listed it as "Load of Indian tat NOT suitable for a Myford " seems to have worked for RDG ? John S. |
