how can i post in the buy and sell forum???
 

what do i need to post in the buy and sell forums, i got lots of stuff that needs a good home asap! :(

You need to have at least 50 posts. :wink:

What? Why? :confused:

Because of all the problems we have had in the buy/sell, especially lately. Although many of these problems may go unnoticed to many, we have to deal with them behind the scenes.

We decided this was the best way to try eliminate some of that, for now at least.

because people are registering under fake names for some reason and selling stuff.

Personally I think it is a good call. You see people listing stuff and it is their 1st post and you are never sure if they are stand up people or just trying to scam someone. Not that 50 posts makes you an automatic honest, upright citizen (I am sure you need at least 1000:mrgreen: ) but at least it will be someone who has participated on the board and give people a chance to get a gut feeling.

I'm on board with this as well. Very good call.... it's for our own good.

Yup, too many posters lately have been just showing up to sell their stuff & its kinda chancy, especially if its among their first posts & they don't list their locations.

Good call.

The last guy who did this seemed like a scammer to me. I was first in line for a number of items but ran as far as I could when he refused to list his location among other things. So this is probably a good idea ...but now I have to get more posts in !

I guess that a reasonable policy. It also encourages participation. We all benefit from sharing our experiences in this hobby.
