Thread: Buy and Sell section

Suggestion to lock down the buy and sell section to members who have posted at least x amount of times (e.g. 50)

just my 2 cents.

Only problem with that is it will lead to bulk junk/spam type posts, the mods do a reasonable job of policing when required, if you have an issue maybe contact one of them ?

@Willus, have you had issues with new members? I'm new to this forum, how about a system of being recommended by a long standing member?

No I haven't but see alot of people harping on about intros etc wen it does happen. Like I said just my 2 cents.

Recommendations could work.

I have merely posted the idea to get some thoughts going, nothing more nothing less.

yea, i get a bit pissed with all the comments on some of them.
things that have nothing to do with the sale,
eg, if i had the money i would be all over this..
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.

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.
