I think that's a brutal idea, and you'll end up killing the traffic on this board by doing that. These kinds of boards can't compete with the larger boards for knowledge and advice, if I need an answer quick I'll go there and post something or search rather than coming to here and waiting perhaps days for a response. If there are questions I have that relate to something local then I have no problems posting here, nor do I have any problems giving advice (the little that I have to offer) to those who need it.

The buy and sell however is a great way to meet people, as well as be able to share frags and sell used equipment locally. Like Chin said, this board is like a community and it's often nice to put the name to the face (so to speak).

when I first got her there was maybe 1 or 2 for sales a week now thats all you see.

Well maybe there are more buy and sell posts because the hobby has grown ten fold since you started posting on this sight.

Also i dont think you should have to pay for an add, it would kill the traffic on the site. When i come on here i chech the buy sell to see if theres anything interesting then read the posts. Which i believe most people do, if you wanted to do something to stop people from using this site as a revenue generater make people have to be a member for a month. or a certain amount of post before they can sell somthing.

My only suggestion for the buy and sell thing is you should have to put a price down, none of this best offer junk.
