Minimum post count before using the For Sale section?

Post by rich_5259 » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:56 pm

Just been browsing this morning and noticed some newbies with For Sale ads

In one case it is his 1st and ONLY post

When I was in the 350Z forum there was a minimum post requirement before using the for sale section (15 for general ads and 50 posts for selling a car) so that people got to know the seller and also the vehicle got to have some provenance in various meets and modification threads

What do others think of this as an idea for the moderators to consider?

Nah, feck that. I've had some good deals from newbies before. Obviously, it is down to the potential purchaser to tread with caution. Personally, I don't trust anyone from Bradford or someone who makes no attempt at spelling/grammar. No matter how big their post count is.

So you wouldn't buy anything off me then? My spelling and grammar is shocking sometimes

Dunc, yours really isn't that bad, and I've already bought off you.
