Anyone interested in a dedicated want ad style forum? I've bought and sold on BPL with perfect results. I realize it would cause headaches for the mod...

It would be nice to have a sub forum for selling and "want to buy" instead of mixing in with the gear closet.

I think the phrase we want here is; "If it ain't broke..." This means that gear has been offered and sold in the Gear Closet and there is no reason for a Sub forum or any other change. Simply label a title with WTB or FS. It's clear to others. And of course don't extend your Ebay sales or PayPal stuff here. This is not expected to extend other ads you may have placed.

This question has come up in the past and the answer is that Backpacker does not want the liability involved in sponsoring such a forum. Technically, the buying and selling of equipment is forbidden in the forum rules, but the moderators usually look the other way if an individual is selling one or two pieces of gear. I think the idea is that they don't want this to turn into an area where some people are doing nothing else except selling gear.
