It was worth a try but it proved to be both unpopular and misunderstood! So here is the result of my short-lived test:
Sell/Trade: It's always been acceptable for participating established members to post an item or two for sale when they replace things and offer their used gear. That will continue to be okay. Fresh new members with no history (like five posts?) can PM a seller to make an offer, or even post a WTB (want to buy) or WTT (want to trade.) Just skip the WTF!
As for collecting info on gear and tips for long trips? Too much to expect, and info already available elsewhere. Mybe a thread in Regionals to simply collect LINKS to other sites with target Q&A about the AT, PCT, etc. Just like the link there with sources for maps. That seems a better idea.
