Ark River going out? Hope not...
sorry sir, most of the regulars on this web site think one should join for the information, comradeship and sharing of the beauties of fly fishing and the selling of material should only be incidental. To advertise items for sale on the first post is sometimes considered tacky' Don't mean to be critical, that's just how we see it.
I consider myself to be a regular and I don't see it that way at all. Tacky? Good grief!

I have been a member here more years than I care to remember and have been "burnt" 3 times with new member posting "for sale" items on their first post. I sent the money and received nothing in return, so, I have to agree with Paddy80701. That is just my opinion and nothing more.
If you know this new member from Kansas and wish to purchase items from him, than by all means, do it. If you get "burnt" do not come here and complain.
This new member could be good as gold, but, a "for sale" item on the first post just does not "sit" well here.
No hard feelings, just my thoughts. You can purchase from this person if you wish, but, I have lost enough money by purchasing from new members on their first post.
Warren,
I think we're talking about 2 different things. I was referring to an offense being taken because a newcomer broke some unwritten rule of this forum and then calling them out publicly for it. My very first post (and I've probably been around here about as long as you have, Warren) was to sell a few things and I stuck around as a result. If someone had found it necessary to put me in my place because of it, I probably would not have.
The point you seem to be making is that first time posters wanting to sell something may be out to take our money. That might be true, but caveat emptor, Warren. Whether or not I buy from him or her, I'll choose to give a newcomer the benefit of the doubt. I've bought and sold many, many things on this board without incident. And, if I do have a bad experience, I assure you I will not "come here and complain" as you lecture. I regret that it took you 3 times to conclude it may not be good practice to buy from a first time poster, but you have some responsibility for that.
Sorry but personally I wouldn't buy anything from someone who had just registered as a member and immediately placed an item up for sale. Now let's say I was interested in the item and contacted the seller. Say we agreed that he/she would ship the item to me and, if I accepted the item, then I'd send payment. Maybe then we could strike a deal. Oh, and I've been a member here for close to 13 years. Bought some. Sold some.
