The STUFF FOR SALE and STUFF WANTED forums are a great feature. Free access to a world wide market with just a few minor rules and yet buyers and sellers have to constantly be reminded to state price and location. If the ad does not state price and loction, just delete it. Craigslist and eBay do not hesitate to delete a listing that does not follow the rules. The user profile asks for a location but does not require it. Maybe location should be a required field. I respect user privacy but giving up your city and state is not going to have people flocking to you door. This forum is 'buyer beware'. As a buyer, I am put off when an item does not have a location or price. Vendors readily give all kinds of contact information in an effort to be open and upfront with customers. Part time sellers also need to gain customer confidence.

rules are being enforced .........

i've got thing's for sale how do i log them i can't find spot to post ?

Hey, Billy Barty: Maybe you should read the rules for selling on this forum, it seems that you're a bit shy of the required number of posts to sell here. You need 25 posts to qualify (you have one). Be patient, you'll get there.

We can't delete, but we can edit. I just erase them, and put up a link to the "Rules for Selling"

THanks steve

I think it is the 25 post rule before you can sell.

^^^^^^ Yuuuuup!

unless your a good buddy of Nick's then it dont matter................

well I don't know if I have 25 posts but been on here for a while now and have baught stuff already, I would like to know if I'm ok to post now. Thanks Butterbean

go make like 4 more posts and I think your good..............

I reckon I should have read more before jumping in! I reckon I'll just have to wait or keep surfing. Did I understand it right. If you have 25posts (replies, comments, and such) then I will be allowed to post items for sale and or be able to buy?

By the rules, you are good to buy now, but you can't sell till you get 25 posts, so basiclly what their saying is your money is good enough to spend here, BUT you can't sell until you have 25.

Here's some good reading,,,,, see if you can pass the test afterwards

Is there a setting to view the date of a post with the year included? Would be nice when searching to know when a for sale ad was posted.
