The buy/sell forum has been waaay better, and for that I am grateful to the mods. Tagging pics with a dated slip is the best safeguard.

That being said, I’ve bought and sold a decent amount on here and only had one issue and was able to resolve it with the seller no problem.

So if you all want to go with status quo, that’s a much better alternative than causing everyone a bunch of strife over a minor issue.

limit the time to edit posts in that specific forum, like 10mins to work out errors and typos. after that, replies only. mods only can delete threads.

I delete my own sales threads when I’m done with it. In the three dots on the first post of a thread you created there’s a delete option.

This marketplace isn't about people trying to make a profit and discourages flipping to do so. Just like the recent Ship John thread and people buying a limited item only to put it on eBay shortly thereafter trying to make a quick buck.

I have a strong bias against the entire practice across the board in all things (knives, watches, clothing, etc.), but that's my hangup...

I've caught scammers before by finding someone else's ad with the same pictures and everything in their post. I was able to see who sold and bought, did a little asking on the side, and found out that it was a scam.

Some forums require listing the price it sold for to help others price their items in the future. I think this is a little less value here with most clothing bc it's a pretty know retail price and established used market with relatively low variety. The other from I'm thinking of was for camera gear so you can imagine the wide range of things to price.

I am however a little concerned that the more rules we put in place, the more effort it takes to police. And the mods (well maybe not me ), all have something better to be doing with their lives....

When I first started being a mod, the marketplace was an absolute mess with ads going back five years that had not been removed.........It took a year to whittle down those ads to something more manageable.

And we thank you very much for that Dennis.....
