Are the Forums now the Classifieds?

[HeadWizard]

Recently, it appears that a greater percentage of the Forum posts are really full blown classified ads thinly disguised as "items members are selling on Ebay" or elsewhere. Many posts are just ads and nothing else. It seems split between Newbies and long term members, who are doing the posting.

More and more members believe that their ad should be the exception to the "rule".

I agree that sometimes it is nice to see some of the rare items available, but must we see full details of every M1009 or jerry can or 9.00 NDT tire that's for sale?

This post is maybe directed at the Mods for their opinions, but what do the rest of us think?

I have donned my flame suit and have extinguishers ready.

Hey, I've been looking for one of those 24-12v inverters. how much shipped to 72601?

 

[FMJ]

I'm sorry Don, look what I've done.....

 

[wsucougarx]

Converters? I'm interested as well PM me price shipped to 98563

 

[gimpyrobb]

I have one and its a great unit thats very flexable for many installations. Great price too!

 

[doghead]

Any pictures of said Converters? Was this a selfless ploy to get these sold(discretely covered as a rant) Oh, is there any shame in the world.

Hey, anyone want to buy a slightly smashed 1009. Ran great when parked.

 

[doghead]

FMJ, you need to "go advanced" the next time you post, and uncheck the box that says
"Disable smilies in text" to get the smileys to work correctly.

I am fairly new to the cucv, but does it have a "Battlefield Damage Assessment" TM? Maybe it is savable? If not, do you want to sell the alternators? How much?

I was gonna post that I still had a Mack lower gasket set for sale but after reading this I guess I'll just go post it in the Classifieds after all I wouldn't want to use this thread as a excuse to sell something like a NOS 90 piece gasket set for only $50.00 . Besides I need to go to classifieds anyway and list my Duece (sprag) transfer case...Oh and that M-37 transfer also for sale cheap....and that nos turbo add on kit which I found lying under that M-151 heater that I need to get rid of too........

 

[bulldog_mack13]

I have free stuff lol

[CARNAC]

btw, anyone know where I can buy a key to a CUCV? Oh, that's right I don't need one.

I have two for sale though.

 

[gimpyrobb]

What key is it? What is the code, I want to make sure it is compatible with a military 1009.

 

[steelsoldiers]

Come on guys. Have a little respect for Don. He posted a serious thread for our consideration.

We have been a little lax around here. I even broke the rules when I posted my 932A2 in the forum. Sorry. My desperation got the best of me. I try to encourage people to use the classifieds as much as possible. The new software is a lot better. It still needs a little tweaking, but it's a lot better.

People like to use the excuse that nobody sees their items in the classifieds so that is why they post them in the forum. We are trying to attract people to classifieds. That's why we have the little sample bar on the side of the home page.

Please make good use of the ads section and refrain from posting your items for sale in the forums. It really does help keep the forum less cluttered. I will try to do a better job policing the forums.

You should have searched the wiki!

I wish I was smart enough to think about it that way

....that being said, yes, I still have converters, $180 shipped till this batch runs out.
