niche-bid ??
Maybe I missed something but... recently I had an e-mail from a guy representing a new rc model auction site - niche-bid.co.uk
http://www.niche-bid.co.uk/index.php/home It seems I got this e-mail because: "This email is coming to you as a registered BMFA club." ?!? Anybody else been contacted or got any more info on what this set up is all about?

Received same email, I fly planes as well and BMFA is the British Model Flying Association. I spoke to someone at Niche Bid and he said it was probably a marketing mistake. With regards to the site, it all looks good to me. The idea is to be cheaper than ebay and more reliable than classified ads sites. Worth a look I reckon.

We got one to the Caldicot club address too...call me suspicious/paranoid but I'm not holding my breath!!!
Cheaper than ebay...as in just cheaper fee's? Not gonna save you a lot on a few percent is it? We know the value of rc stuff...what is it they say about "if something appears to good to be true" But...with all that said, if it gets going and is just a quicker way to find rc stuff at the "right" prices then good luck to it! You never know.

Im assuming all you guys didnt sign up for "niche-bids" marketing emails (otherwise you would know what the heck it is!) so thats a bit out of order. Especially for whoever gave them your details in the first place - i.e. BRCA database?
Without putting to fine a point on it - you are receiving spam; and if you were so inclined to examine it - it might violate the Data Protection Act if you didnt sign up to it in the first place. (thats illegal!) Sorry - but I hate when companies pass on details when they shouldnt. I shall climb down off my soapbox now... |

I'm more aircraft than cars but assuming the BRCA has a similar set up to the BMFA then all the club contact details are on their website, so all a company would have to do is look them up as they're in the public domain, no data protection issues or anything.
Considering a couple of other BMFA clubs got it I would assume it was a bulk email to all of us. |
