Posting in the classifieds

Pics have been manditory for awhile. Some still even get away with no pics yet, but I know the site Police cant run down every ad, which is fine by me. Yes I have been guilty of not posting pics, but if I can learn then almost anyone can learn. (A big thank u to Cosgig) What really burns my azz is when people won’t ship. If u want to sell the dam thing u dam we’ll better be ready/able to ship it. I think even if it takes a couple of days longer someone would still be very happy to get the part. I know as well as anyone that shipping can kill the deal. I bet that 90% of anyone’s sales are shipped. I ship all over the world. Sure it takes time and extra paper work. But come on guys/gals please give everyone a chance at ur products. Everyone should be willing to ship. I think it should be mandatory, if not willing to ship, no ads, just like no pics, no ads.

The photo rule is to cut down on "comments" in sale ads which aren't directly related to the sale. Every time someone comments, it bumps the ad to the top of page 1. Now, bumping sale ads are not allowed for non-Gold members and only allowed every 3 days for Gold members. (Gold does have it's advantages)
The shipping thing is simply a seller's option. They may not want to mess with shipping of large items like a stack of wheels or a engine/drive train part. "Local pick up only". I don't blame them. I don't care to mess around with pallets and forklifts either.
