Where to post items for sale in your area on CL l

Recommended Posts

There are things for sale on local CL that may be of interest to others on this forum, I do not have room or collect. Can these be posted, and if so where?

It's against the rules to post CL ads, but I believe you can post about things for sale in a specific area.  If I'm wrong please feel free to correct this post.

  I really appreciate you asking first! Thanks!

  As you can see by the two replies above we do not allow links to Craigslist. The way we see it if someone has the computer skills to get an account set up here on Red Square they also should have the skills to search Craigslist on their own (or EBay or any other selling or auction venue).

  That's not our only reason for not allowing links but you get the idea.

Can't you just do what @Big_Red_Fred does sometimes?

Just post what it is, hours, condition and then others could PM you about details...

It helps out the guys on Red Square that are looking for a fair deal.

Since we don't allow posting the link to any CL ads guys have resorted to copy/pasting the ad plus the ad's pictures in an effort to get around the rule. Kinda defeats the reasons for this rule....just a matter of time before we end this workaround.

I think the admin said we probably shouldn't do this.

Maybe If you know someone in the area  who might be interested,PM him/her.  Guys here are clever and diligent enough to find it if their looking.

As I see it this is a service to the members.

I saw one of these CL information posts a couple of years back and was able to call my cousin who lived near by and made the purchase. If it hadn't been for a member bringing this out of town CL listing to my attention I would never have known about it. 

:twocents-02cents:       I don't think there is a problem with members sharing information with other members.

That was kinda what I was thinking also. Don't seem to be too much wheel horse action here, the same 10 different tractors have been posted for sale for the last 6 months it seems like

I do understand the link policy but I like 953 nut's point:

Seems info could be shared with simple reference without links...? :twocents-02cents:

 

But I defer to the mods / admin... :bow-blue:

I am on another forum that has an ebay/cl subforum.  It is a great place for guys to discuss sales and find stuff out of their area.  Unfortunately, the links in the subforum eventually die, and the older posts aren't valuable in searches.  On the whole, I think the subforum is a service to the community.
