    Pic always related. Plus guys just randomly leaving their phone numbers with sellers saying "call me/text me" we have a PM system for that. And I think that you shouldn't be able to buy or sell until your post count is at least 50. Contribute and talk with the forum for abit.

    Just my unasked for 2 cents.

    I’ve sold and purchased many items in this forum and cost me $0.

    The least I can do is contribute to discussions. Helps a fella out and helps keep the forum alive. We all whine and complain when it goes away.

    What is the problem leaving your phone number I do it all the time and have had no issues
    I see your number in your postings, but do you respond to other's postings with your # saying text me?
    I wonder if some think of it as " Hey, you call me if you want to sell it to me."
    I'm good either way. I imagine it speeds things up for some.

    And then there are the ever present " Is this still available" by people that have no intention of buying the FS item , because if they did they should just sent a PM.
    you would think that the question; is this still available? would be followed by; if it is, i will buy it for the price you have posted.

    Some people can have a post count of 50 in a day, due to there rambling on about things that have already been discussed. Or even making a thread to which they are the only person that actually posts things.
    Shit I just raised my post count by one responding here...
    That's what the meme threads are for :D

    I understand that some sellers would prefer you text/call as it gives some confirmation the potential buyer is not a troll.

    I prefer an open conversation/agreement on the forum. At the point we come to an "I'll take it" agreement, we'll go text/voice and work out the meet up. Otherwise, it's still for sale/available. And no, I will not mail it, and will not bring it to you so you can look at it.

    "What's the lowest you will take?" I see this all the time. You're asking the seller to bid against themselves? Doesn't the question defeat the purpose of an asking price?

    I’ve found that 9 times out of 10, if you answer that question, they will offer less.
