Oh good grief, not another one. Doesn't even have the courtesy to say where it's at. But he does want us to call long distance to get more information. :thumbdown:

Not to stir the pot, but...

The rules for posting in the for sale section are posted up near the top of the page;

Joining the forum just to sell your items, stock or trailers is not allowed
and is considered spamming by the administration of this forum.


That said, they aren't at the top, and are very easy to overlook, especially by someone new.
I'd guess that someone new coming here to post would easily miss this rule.

If I had a need to sell a gun, or collector car, or other specialty item, the first move I'd make is to search for those Web sites that had classified sections and advertise there.

Most specialty sites, like mine dealing with vintage trailers, welcome people who just inherited grandpa’s trailer to post it, or parts from them for sale, as it provides a resource not otherwise available to us.
(I do require registration first, to keep spammers out).

Mike and administrators have chosen to require an introduction before selling something, which is fine.
Having the rule in place, but not enforcing it through administration though, leaves members opportunity to jump in and "correct" these innocent people who may well have missed the "rule" which makes all the members look like a bunch of angry on edge vigilantes...
Maybe some sort of pop up screen when trying to post in the for sale area to remind new and old users alike of the policy would prevent this?

In regard to my post. It was hard to find posting rules. This is what I found, ( Exception to the rule of sales
You are basically allowed to post ONCE in the "For Sale" section, what it is
you have for sale...at that point, we request you put a link to a website or
a blurb ("Private Message me for details if you have questions") in your signature block ~
this encourages you to participate in the daily give and take of the forum
and every post you make will have an advertisement in it. )
Sorry if I made a mistake.
It seems like there is always someone who has nothing better to do than to complain, when they don't know the facts.

It's a cool looking camper. I have a few Visio plans i created of sort of the same thing. It was good to see yours in a photo. I've been wanting to make one for years. Have to finish my current teardrop project first.

Thanks for posting it.

Well if you don't post the facts, how are we to know what they are? :o And thank you for giving us a location.
