I suggest people stop the disparaging remarks in the For Sale Forum

This has happened recently, and some of us have been guilty of it to some degree:

Someone posts something for sale, and they seem to be asking a crazy price for it or have some minor error in the listing text, and people start chiming in with posts full of strong language or jokes, etc. It makes the post look bad and the poster likely won't get very much $$ for the item or it won't sell at all.

Can we post a sticky with some rules of conduct for those For Sale forums and try to stick to whatever rules we lay down?

Maybe make sure that offers are submitted via PM or email? Request that sellers honor the first offer they receive and give the initial buyer the chance to counter subsequent offers? Request that no one post anything negative in the for sale thread that can't be proven? IE: Someone posting HRE wheels for sale and claiming that they are OEM BMW equipment wheels- which we all know to be false- that would be ok for posters to point out the error on, but someone chiming in and saying someone is crazy for asking for $1000 for their OEM 20" stlye 87's would not be cool.



Just getting tired of seeing people get clubbed for trying to sell something here.
