Regional Forums now the Sales Forum?!

chief · 07-07-2015, 04:12 PM

Lately I've noticed that the regional forums has moved from the occasional 'For Sale' thread, to damn near full time sales forum.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate buying & selling locally, but it seems that we have gone too far.

How about we move the For Sale threads back to sales forums and use the regional forums to discuss events, regional issues, local deals, and the like.

Easier to sell local so don't need to ship big stuff.

Also I've noticed a lot of people posting threads in the wrong forum.

this is due to people being stupid/incompetent and not looking at the person's location (and people not posting a location when they make a for sale thread) and not paying attention when someone posts "local sale only."

i use the regional to sell stuff once and a while. if i was looking to ship something i would post in the for sale. But when i am trying to stay local and post in the for sale section i now have people all over the country viewing my local sale.
