What is it with some people..

It's my opinion that it would be better if things related to a For Sale item are posted in that For Sale thread as well as who is in line. A little patience makes thing fairer and shows all sides of the transaction. Of course you may be in favor of letting sellers use the forum ( and I'm not singling anyone out here or grouping all together ) to find a buyer and then treat that buyer how they wish.
Everything out in the open or don't use the feature.

As this relates to other things an example would be if a person was showing off a car they bought and a parts car they were going to take the motor out of. A member could see that and ask if they wanted to sell a fender and not worry about having to post a wanted thread. It may not have even been on their mind till they saw the guy's post .
Just one of many examples of this buy/sell stuff around here that makes a person have to be carefull of what they do.

if that's the case the interested party could just send that member a DM asking if they're going to part the car and that they're interested in the fender.

easy play, doesn't junk up threads or create unnecessary radio noise.

Exactly, you can always send someone a message, you don’t have to try to solicit sales on the open forum. Last thing anyone wants is to be constantly harassed about selling stuff they mentioned having or that showed up in the background of another picture etc etc

And regardless of the sales rules, there will always be someone complaining about how they thought something wasn’t fair. There’s always 2 sides to the story, sometimes it wasn’t fair, sometimes it’s just the way it goes. Either way, it’s the sellers part until money changes hands. And if it’s a pain in the *** to sell here, people will sell somewhere else and that doesn’t help the members on thr board.
