well you obviously don't have the money so no need to comment, all you are doing is pushing another seller of page 1 to page 2
not much help for the seller,
if you aren't serious of buying, then leave the questions or comments to the ones that are.
Rant over (for now)

I find that it more often than not helps the seller, and often other potential buyers.

Bumps the thread to the top where it gets more attention. Why so many Hotels/Motels start with an A?

There is often feedback from other users which can help another buyer decide.

It shows there is interest out there which can prompt another buyer to act quicker.

If it is a particularly good deal this often gets pointed out to other potential buyers.

Yep give it a bump, positive not negative comments, although some comments re price have been helpful

I thought a new comment bumped it up to first.

So why can i not view the Buy/Sell thread?? I continue to get the above notice when i click onto the thread. Do you have to have done so many posts - if so, don't see this info?

cheers,

As a newbie I find the buy sell comments helpful and I think they protective of people being mislead or ripped. An experience guy commenting that he thinks something is overpriced
may help someone out from a bad buy. He only risks his own credibility if he is wrong and I'm sure someone would point it out. Man! don't go like everywhere else and try to fix things by making up more rules.

With the amount of new members joining at the moment maybe it is time to restricted the buy and sell section to 50 plus post. While its great to have new members joining its seems a few have only joined to use this service. No intro and straight in there selling there shit

Well maybe 10 posts and an introduction

Make it 50 posts and they will clock them up being silly

But a good idea in principle

What about a time delay and X number posts before using the Buy and Sell? Other large forums started doing as they've become popular. It removes the scammers since they're usually in for a quick buck and seldom have much follow through, and usually in that time people who are going to become active in the forum start to contribute, while those that weren't going to contribute leave. Usually in that time they also learn the forum rules, since every forum is has its own unique social rules, and even is unique in how it operates. Since a forum is more at risk from sh*tty members poisoning the environment than having low numbers of new members, it should help moderate between quantity of new members and quality of new members.

A month delay and 5-10 posts is usually the standard, but 3 months is used when they've had issues with scammers.

In fairness mate it does bump there post back to the top of the forum list everytime someone posts in the thread. That does help. There's no many threads that don't have some form of high jacking including this one. But I do get it for sure. A comment going oh that is a lovely rifle doesn't do any serious harm. Usually if its a good deal it's sold in a day or much less if its just an average one then it might get to a few pages long before a sale.

I don't know what admin can do but this makes the most sense. My main issue is when you come online and miss a post from @ryansonghurst or the likes that's a real deal. And some guy with 1 post has taken the deal. Its a little shit as you know they joined to get the deal and likely won't contribute again except for the buy sell. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the page usually has everyone putting up very reasonable prices compared to the likes of trademe if they want a quick deal or a fair one if they need the money and are happy to sit on it for awhile. Grinds my gears a bit when someone has 10 posts and 1s and intro and the next 5 are in buy and sell threads. Doing this means you can't get an idea on the type of person you are dealing with and we don't have the same protections as the yellowsite in terms of being ripped off etc (even if it's marginal protections at most).
When there's a deal here to long time members chances are it will pop back up here at the same price down the line instead of going on trademe for double the price like I've seen pretty often.

ten post count aren't enough. Doesn't take much to rack up ten post. Also shits me when the first 5 post a in the FS section then some body is kind enough to donate gear and they are the first one there.
There is a member on here i never completed a trade with last year, he couldn't be bother getting back to me on a postage price, had about 50 post most were in the f/s section
