New Guy Confusion

[BroknPrism]

I've been respectfully corrected by informed replies to this [original] post and it's easier to edit this one away than amplify it with comments farther down.  I understand the policy now, and I wish I had done more research into the forum rules before airing my opinion!  Many thanks to the guys who patiently cleared this up for me.

Brokn,

Most people follow the rules for the Marketplace.  That's why you won't get many comments about your item.  General discussion has always been discouraged in the Marketplace as it just keeps bumping others posts down and clutters up the boards.  So to be fair we ask that you not comment on a guitar that is for sale unless you are interested.  If someone wants to talk about a guitar that is posted in the Marketplace just open up a new thread in one of the two guitar discussion boards.  Please read the rules in the Marketplace.

General Rules

The Buy and Sell section is provided to use at your own risk.  Forum administration will not get involved in a transaction under any circumstances.
Posts in the Buy & Sell section should be on topic and any replies should only be by interested parties.
The Marketplace is for personal use only, don't link to items for sale by other parties.
The Marketplace is for guitar and music related items only.
All items for sale must have a price.  No best offers, etc.  This is not the place for an auction.

Please limit posts in the Buy & Sell section to inquiries about items only.  Random discussion just bumps others posts down.

The classifieds are there for business purposes. With all the other forum space there's no need to be chatty in there. I've only browsed through there once in the last few months.

If someone sees you shooting yourself in the foot (as a seller) they will probably pm you. If they are interested, they will ask for better pics, etc,etc.
