How about a special topic for commercial seller like Robrost, gr8fuldoug and Will and several more, seems like any particular day you may see 5 or more similar post jamming up the forum?? this way they can FF each other to death and let the rest of us deal with the occasional post.

It is very easy for anyone to just ignore what post they do not wish to see. If an individual seems to rub you the wrong way, do not read any of his posts. | |||

Saeed, I think the concern is that some individuals who use the AR classifieds as almost a personal store front drive the other Members ads to the second and third page where they get limited views rather quickly. Especially when each individual item is placed into a separate post. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Saeed, they don't rub me the wrong way it is just controlling without regard to other viewers, many of these post are of the same item, couple that with the repeated TTT implying I have better stuff than anyone else. Give the their own forum and they can post and TTT till they are blue in the face. I post occasionally and I do not TTT but it is unsettling to see a single post get pushed back several pages by these fellows who think they got what you want...

They are not controlling anything, neither are they stopping others from posting their items. So now people are being too lazy to scroll down to another page??? | |||

Saeed, In essence, yes customers or buyers in this case are lazy. They rarely look past the first page and almost never look past the second page. While an individual does not have direct control, an individual can and some do exert de-facto control and sometimes without knowledge. For example, if I had 20 items to sell - I could list them separately as 20 different posts and that would dominate (hence control) the first two pages. The one different thing about the Classified section is: Ignoring a posters behavior is a good solution and the right solution in every other forum; however, when you are a Seller other posters behaviors can and do impact your potential customers. I actually sent a new Member a polite PM once that said - "You might want to consider combining your posts because you just posted 12 items separately and drove half the other posters off the first page." He was very thankful and said he didn't realize it. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi?

You mean like Wesbrook's "ad" in the Custom Built Rifle section ,no less, for stock blanks? That one should have been moved or removed long ago. Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | |||

larrys, In this case the last blank left on that thread is far better than any blank ever advertised on AR. Are you just cheap or a bottom feeder? | |||

I have removed that thread. It is really not right to post a link to anything people are selling on other forums. What is the point? We provide the forums for all members to use, and each forum serves a purpose. Selling items should only be on the two classified forums. No links should be posted anywhere else about them. As you can see, it is not just us who dislike this practice. Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated. | |||

So quality wood has nothing to do with custom rifles??? Surely you jest. | |||

If it is for sale, it goes in the CLASSIFIED. No exceptions. | |||

How about SDH and his stock making seminars and liogier rasps. Be consistent Saeed. | |||
|
| Administrator |
Anytime I see any item for sale or a link to an item on the classified on other forums it get deleted. | |||
|

For what it is worth, not much, I agree with Dave about the rasps , which do also have a topic in the classifieds. The seminars are, in my opinion, a different matter, as they deal directly with building custom stocks and rifles. Again, just MY opinion. Thanks again Saeed for the web site.
