Agreed, done plenty of eBay but it has become my last resort because of eBAy and PayPal fees.  Craigslist is wonderful and free.  There are going to be scammers/trolls/thieves in any walk of life.  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool twice, shame on me! (I'd credit but don't know who's quote that is :-)
 
I like theme specific forums because we understand each other and the value of the products we use which means a lot.  If we don't, then we have many many on this forum and others that are more than willing to offer there knowledge/advice/experience.
 
BTW - thanks to all you regulars who help provide that here!

It simple really the TOS simply states NO ADVERTISING, it's when that directive starts being interpreted to suit a particular circumstance that the fur starts flying.

There are places where you conduct private sales already where the buyer and seller get some protection and don't end up in a fist fight.  Likewise commercial advertisers have plenty of opportunity to market themselves without coming here to do it.  No Advertising, where is the grey area there?

Keep it simple.

Yeah!  And I think they should have a sing(l)e forum just for all the crazies, sillies and stupid faces that would otherwise pollute the more intellectual topics going on!

Oh wait...
