this has come up before and again lately. some people complain about how other members jump in and bash their cars in for sale ads without knowing *anything* about the car. they've never seen it in person but believe it's only worth half what the seller is asking and they go ahead and bash the guy into the ground.
mind you, they also never had any intensions of buying the car in the first place ... so, the question has been raised: should only the seller be allowed to post in his own ad? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

It does not matter how I voted, what maters is I voted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Okay I think that maybe you should have the a nice rule that allows reply for general questions, but be moderated. I think that if I was a seller, I know my 914 would be bashed to hell on this board. Yeah it is a POS, but it is L20E which matches cones really well. And I don't care that it has a few bumps or bruises, I only care that it drives its wheels off. But to sell it for what it is worth to me would cause a back lash of west coaster, though it is a 5K car here in Rust belt Ohio, in CA it is worth 850 if I am lucky, and only because it has a running 2.0L, and a bunch of trick suspension goodies, and a 904 gauge. I think maybe if legally it could be considered as slander then, it should not be posted. (Against the person or the object) If it is just a general question or a response to a question then let it roll. It only helps the market in the long run. If you have a true case of somebody selling a hogs ear as a silk purse Eric should step in and moderate - just gave you more work Eric - sorry. Like any society you have people abusing the system. Hell my in-laws are that way, they will sell a car for gold, but want to buy it for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)! Take care, Stephen |
