Can someone tell me why you cannot list in the for sale section at will. What is the big deal of putting an item in the forsale section where other may benefit from seeing as many items for sale as possible. Ive been a member here for over a year and for some reason i went to advertise some roof racks and the add was taken off. Im not wanting to stir up anything here just wanted to know why there are so many rules for a simple for sale item, its got me beat

Did you abide by the rules set out in the for sale section? If not then that would be why your ad was removed.
Also, you only have 9 posts... There is a minimum number required.
The less posts you have the more likely it is that no one knows you.

im sure we are all smart enough to work out if someone dodgy is selling something, I am on many a forum where i have sold lots of different things but i have never encounted something like this where you have to have a certain amount of posts before you can post a for sale item, seems weird to me but i guess im not running the forum i just have to abide by their rules. I know myself id rather see lots and lots of for sale items then none at all and im big enough and smart enough to work out if i should hand over money for something or not.

Rules are here: http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?t=13436
You should read them before posting something for sale, you need 15 posts minimum. Starting a useless thread like this one, which is bound to be locked, isn't the best way to build up your post count. Nor will it endear you to the forum. I suggest you kick back, relax, introduce yourself in the introductions thread, tell us a bit about yourself, ask a question or two, do a few searches and before you know it you'll have the minimum requirements. It's really not much to ask for, this is a very informative forum, filled with all sorts of people that are willing to help you out. If that's too much trouble then there's always eBay."Sure it’s quiet, for a diesel, but that’s like being well-behaved… for a murderer."- Jeremy Clarkson

Could always be thankful you didn't get slapped with an infraction for not sticking to the easily found rules.. Bottom line doesn't matter how long you have been here, if your not posting and being a part of the forum then .... Why... Should we sell your item? Two way street...

I do recall wanting to sell a Handwinch when I first joined and I couldn't for the life of me think how I was ever going to get 15 postsMade it to 15 posts, met all the criteria and sold the winch to a happy PP member, its that easy.

Matt, those greyhounds are scared of rabbits and the jousting sticks are just cue sticks with the chalking ends missing![B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]

Not all of them are bs. I'm sure I could find a few that are helpful, insightful, and worth a read. Maybe, if I look hard.[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]
