I will not buy items from folks with 1-15 posts, just dont seem to have any faith in someone who just shows up with a great deal on a top end radio or motor, I kinda think if someone has a high end radio etc, they probably have been in the hobby for a wile and don't just show up here one day trying to sell stuff, but would have been a part of the comunity.

So when a newbee is selling a 9303 or a DA100 cheap with no posts to their credit I usually skip it and move on.

My $0.02 fwiw

I agree, unless their credibility can be verified by a long term member in good standing.
I have seen some new members selling in the For Sale sections and a member in good standing has vouched for them, that is good enough for me, I will then take a chance on them.
Everyone deserves a chance... they have to start somehere!!

Cheers
Curt

Do I not have the solution? If you don't agree please explain why.

IMO people are rude in all forums, but it only really bothers me when I'm trying to sell something.

In rereading my post I realize that it sounds like I'm complaining about the site and telling Jason what to do. Sorry about that. I really like this site and Jason has been doing a great job with it. This issue is just my pet peeve.

Cheers. George

I don't mind for sale being posted, just don't push it. Keep it in the for sale forum don't plaster it everywhere.
