Seen one of the threads was blocked for this. What did I miss? How was it found? Dangers? I am from across the pond, does it mean I will be placing orders for A Murex welder for My Megane? A Myford would be nice.
The forum has a rule that members should be here for a certain time before being allowed to sell, this is to prevent people taking advantage of free advertising, joining to sell and not be involved with the forum.
The forum also controls what can be sold otherwise it would end up like Gumtree or Facebook with sofas, cars, half worn tyres and teeth whitening kits flooding the site.
All sales adverts must be approved for content, include a clear price and posted in the 'for sale' section only, selling or advertising is not allowed anywhere else on the forum.
We have noticed an increase in the 'what's it worth' posts, often by a new member, probably an innocent post but one that can lead to sales and will soon be seen as a way around the rules, any posts of this nature will be deleted.
That new member may be asking what's it worth because they are trying to get a quick sale of a faulty or stolen item.
There are more than enough routes on the internet that one can take to establish how much an item is worth, the same routes members probably use to answer the question in the first place.
All the above conditions are to protect members as much as we can and are actually already within the existing rules for using the forum.
