Some information for the uneducated newbies here.
From a different site but applies to most classifieds.
No Price/Information Challenging!
If someone is too high on the price of an item, DON’T wreck the thread by saying they can buy it better, cheaper, or newer elsewhere. If you think they need to be informed of something that may hurt the ad, then send the poster a pm. Don’t do it on the open board. Courtesy pays off.
If someone has complied with the rules of posting an ad in this forum and you feel like there may be a price that is out of line, DO NOT post in that ad that they can get it Cheaper, or Newer, or Better elsewhere!
If someones information in not correct, contact them in a PM to let them know. Do not post it in their ad. Give the seller a chance to make the change. They may not have deliberately put wrong information in the ad.
I have seen this raise it’s ugly head time and again in this forum, & it tends to make a person wonder about the motives such individuals have for shooting down a fellow member’s ad trying to sell something.
If you feel compelled to try & educate the poster that they are too pricy or whatever with their ad, then by all means POLITELY send them a PERSONAL MESSAGE with your concerns.
I repeat, Do Not post derogatory remarks in their thread.
If I see that, or have it brought to my attention, I will edit the post & and you will hear from me.
Show fellow members here the same respect you would expect if you had an ad running here.
In most cases if something is too high, the silence of any response to the ad lets the poster know he may be too high
