As it is not a direct offer to sell something it can be inferred that they have material to sell.
There is also an
ebay section here where members post what they have on there for sale. That is a direct offer to sell something isn't it?
I would like to hear from the OP on what the intention of the thread was.
The ebay section is set up for that though, BC. It is why it was started.
If someone is sayin..HIT ME UP...don't think that is a gray area of solicitation for sale.
The way it is titled has the potential of putting buyers at odds. We have a number of great buyers here, all of whom are listed in the buyers/sellers section. They pay for the privilege to be there, to advertise and reap the benefits, of the forum.
Again, just my opinion. One which may be in the strictest reading of the guidelines. If I am the one out of line, then I ask that my posts be deleted, so as not to create any confusion.
But in my mind, it is a little more than poor wording, to single out one of the most credible people we have to sell to on the forum, and ask someone else to compare and pay better than them, in an open post. Bro
