I am new here and people have been nothing but nice and helpful to me. I feel like I play here in the 'sandbox' without feeling like I am being pushed out. Like a lot of people on this board, I don't like it when people sign up just to sell their wares. This board is to trade ideas, like I am now, help each other out including offering services, and to just ask for help when needed. We love the hobby.

Not to offend anyone but some of these guys come here just to sell stuff and leave. That just doesn't sit right with me.

I think people start to ask the 'bashing' questions when something doesn't seem right with the add or there is pertinent information missing. Let's face it there are a lot of scams out there and when purchasing an investment like this you have to do your homework - And I appreciate it when somebody points out something that maybe I would have missed.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here Rich, and say a lot of the folks at that show were kicked out of our "sandbox" here...yet those same folks watch this sandbox closer than we do?! It's as if it's all they have to do, and just might explain their attitude...so consider the source.

I love this site but REALLLY MAN.
Look at 90% of the post and thats ALL they ask for is pictures and info to pick a car apart and have NO, I mean NO interest in the car.

i say big deal to this,let them ask for pics,and pick it apart.
the man is asking 70k for the car not $700.

the seller should have at least a 50 picture album of the car showing every nook and cranny of it,espcially since he's been trying to sell it since July.

it only takes a few minutes to upload the pics to photobucket,and post the link to the album here

i actually felt the same way as you at one time.

eventually,i saw the light,and sold a car after sending 60 pictures of it,and i had no guarantees the guy would buy it,but he did.

if youre not prepared to have a lot of pics of car you are asking a stupid amount of money for and also have a crappy attitude after only your 5th post on the board,dont be surprised if you and you car gets stepped on.

ok,back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I think your perceived 90% is way off. Good cars with pedigree will always sell. If the seller fails to disclose something or is not forthright, then they may be called out. I don't agree with how the first two or three poster conducted themselves, but to make a blanket statement about this site is way off base. If you are only here to sell cars or this is the only forum you contribute on, then deal with it. If you look at Xplantdad link you will see that the seller was not forthright about the color change. Anyway is you are going to sell a car, you might want to disclose as much information as possible, and show some pics.

Rich you do a fine job selling cars for our members and it is appreciated. Also I agree that the first couple of posts were inappropriate. Where I disagree is how big of a issue it really is, or is perceived to be by you.

You have brought this point up before regarding how cars are torn apart in the sales forum. This may be uncomfortable to some sellers, and thats unfortunate, but for the most part the questions asked are fair and reasonable.

I don't feel this forum needs further moderating, but thats not my call. Possibly we could eliminate the classifieds altogether which has been done on other sites. I would suggest to those selling, who find the questions asked here too critical in nature that they set up their own website, or find another to sell their items.

Glad you had an enjoyable weekend.
