For Sale Section Rules Options

[ETNRIDER]

Please take this as being constructive and not complaining. I love this site this is by far the best site I have visited. The one concern on here is how the rules in the for sale section are.

Here are the rules….

It seems that a lot of the adds have post saying “You are selling this really high” , “So and so has this for half price”, etc. I complete see that there needs and should be post to help people adjust their prices. But at some point it would be really nice to see a rule that is something like, “If you have a problem with the sellers price please PM the seller or a moderator if you feel the seller could be fraudulent”. And say if a post does get put in saying negative things about pricing, the mods should remove them if they choose.

I am just curious if this has ever been looked into. Again please take this as being constructive. I know all the mods and members take many hours out of every day to make this site the great site that it is.

Thank you all

I think that unless it's really obvious there's a scam going on, it's pretty tacky (and disrespectful IMO) to post in someone else's FS thread that something is too high an asking price or whatever. I can think of one particular instance where there was a FS thread for something that I knew was being misrepresented and IMO was WAY too high of an asking price. When someone else expressed interest, I actually PMed that person with a heads up about it, being clear about what I knew and what was only opinion.

Members should hold themselves accountable here, whether it's asking too much for something or paying too much for something. We all make our own choices (with the relative exception of getting scammed, of course). Maybe there's a reason someone's asking a high price for something, and it's not just to make more money or rip someone off. For that matter I see a fair share of posts of people just trying to get back what they put into what turned out to be the wrong part or something. If you think it's too much, then counter offer! Negotiate! Otherwise, STFU.

I agree that a simple PM could go a long way.

Agreed, But this can not turn into a flame thread on CeliST either, that's also tacky and wrong. So lets agree that wrong has been done; and etnrider, maybe you should PM celiST and ask him to edit that post, or Report the post so pressure can move it out of his FS thread. If CeliST wants to sell fenders, then he should have his own FS thread Agreed.

But we're not here to flame people into the dirt

Right right, And PMing the buyer before he payed that amount, and giving him your opinion is cool too. Thats what we're all here for. To help each other in the presuit of our cars Help, opinions, knolage, ect. There are a number of things you can do, but spamming up someones thread, agreeably, is not one of them.
