I thought DIBS counted for something?

[Tad]

Calm down dear, it's only a bar and stem for an old bicycle. It's not as if it was a liver and kidney you urgently needed for a transplant. Take a breath, get some perspective then I'm sure you'll realise just how childish you're being.

It does remind me of the arguments I had with my little sister when we were about eight, "but mum I bagsied having the red opal fruit and she just took it and ate it :cry: "

Think it's pretty much all covered in answers above, suspect it might get a little uncontrolled/personal if left open, so locking for now.

Not all. I would like to add one thing and than I lock the topic again.

the concept 'dibs' does not exist in Holland. Dutch and possibly people from other nations too may be very unfamiliar with it
