For Sale Section

[JolyStNicholas]

I'm for leaving it as is with PM contact with the seller and buyer! Others should have no say in another members buying or selling on the board. All other comments should be kept to themself regarding the article being sold!

I agree. We have whole other sections (Kilt Advice for instance) where questions etc can be openly discussed.

Perhaps there needs to be some set guidelines about who and what should be posted in response to a "For Sale" item.

It is reasonable to ask pertinent questions about an item or ask for pictures.

Writing "Gee I wish I could get that" (which I know I have done in the past) isn't helpful.

Writing a testimonial like "I have one of this items and really love it, at this price it is a bargain" seems helpful.

Maybe the Mod Squad should keep a closer eye on the "For Sale" forum and remove posts that aren't on topic to keep them relevant.

Also sellers should PM the Mods when the item is sold or no longer available so we can close the thread.

I'm just throwing out some ideas here.

Cheers

I don't think we can rely on the seller PMing. If the goods haven't sold after 60 days, then they aren't going to sell at that price/deal. The thread should be closed. The seller would be free to resell at any time later. Should a late-comer to the sale be interested after it is closed, then he could PM the seller.
