I prefer shopping here because people usually list their stuff properly, so you don't have to wonder if it really fits old monsters, newer ones, etc.
and if someone doesn't we correct it. try that on ebay  |

ok sufficiently annoyed by a recent seller with 25 posts (7 of which are in his selling post answering questions we had)
so..
as part of selling
Part name
Part manufacturer (if known)
Part price
Picture of YOUR part, not one you stole from online
that's not too hard

Yup all of the above  ...... and 50+ posts of prior meaningful input before you get to sell your wares in our flea market. ......I would suggest that if people are joining to sell ... they are also offering their goods elsewhere anyway...... +1. The opportunists won't just be taking advantage of our member's flea market, they'll be touting on TOB and elsewhere too as apparently is the fellow that Raux is on about. The issue here is simple: The DMF is - or at least IMO ought be - a community for enthusiasts. Not just a no-cost trading opportunity (with no connection to the membership other than as well targeted prospects). |

Why limit people?
Is this limit just to... limit people? Limits never helped anyone to grow in any aspect.

While all the additional input is 'interesting'  ... let's keep this thread to the topic of requiring a minimum number of posts to start a for sale thread. |

I just want to say that forum is Great. People are calm and not offensive here. I don't see any need to change anything here. I red many pages of this topic and never saw simple explanation why sellers should have minimum xx post to sell. ok I see admin's point The issue here is simple: The DMF is - or at least IMO ought be - a community for enthusiasts. Not just a no-cost trading opportunity (with no connection to the membership other than as well targeted prospects). While sale topics in sale subforum it will not interfere with enthusiasts. But forced messages from sellers will interfere negatively. |

If we want to make it about community of enthusiasts then I vote for at least 50 quality posts to sell. Let the seller decide if they want to sell to someone with less posts. If that doesn't work for a seller then they always have access to ebay or craigslist.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I could do that. But that hurts the people that are part of the community that want to sell their items. If you look back in the thread you'll find a post from a member that sold to someone with just 2 posts. That is a good thing for our members. My intention in asking about this was to stop people from joining just to sell, which I consider the same as spam. If you look at the poll you'll notice the choices are limited, and if you read my post on this page I asked that the discussion to be limited to the questions posed in the poll. In true DMF fashion you guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be. |

That's how we roll. I say fifty or more unless they are selling a treadmill. Or bacon. Or a 140mph 620. |

I actually had the laughy guy after that, because I was laughing as I typed it, but in the process of editing my post so it made sense to people besides hill rats I forgot it. |
