this has come up before and again lately. some people complain about how other members jump in and bash their cars in for sale ads without knowing *anything* about the car. they've never seen it in person but believe it's only worth half what the seller is asking and they go ahead and bash the guy into the ground.
mind you, they also never had any intensions of buying the car in the first place ... so, the question has been raised: should only the seller be allowed to post in his own ad? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

I think on the whole, the ads work great just the way they are. Which is essentially a No vote. However I have noticed one person in particular who posts every time someone wants to sell an engine saying what are the compression readings? What is the leakdown percent? This person can't be buying every engine that comes up for sale in the classifieds right? So if he is not in the market for an engine then why post to the ad? He has essentially made the classified ads a forum. I should note that I have never tried to sell an engine so this is an observation not a complaint. This is only one example of this... I have also seen a number of people jumping in and saying I got mine for free or in other ways diminishing the percieved value of what the seller is trying to sell. For these reasons, it might be a good idea to allow the seller to make the ad read only or delete comments made by non-buyers who post to the ad.
