no more post counts on the sales sections

Good idea I think bearing in mind they only need to pay a one off $25 to get that threshold to 100 posts
Personally I think the owners are too easy with the non VIP's that have been here selling for a couple of years.
I think it should be VIP only that can post sales threads

I disagree. I was selling watches here before I was a VIP. At one point I decided I liked this forum enough that 25 dollars from my next sale would be used to upgrade, and I announced that in my sales thread. (I don't know if it helped sell the watch or not).

Either way, I think it's better to allow non-vips to sell as well, because it increases traffic to the site and its one of the features that makes this community so great. I do agree however with the new rule of minimum 250 post count to sell, and I also agree that posts in sales threads should not count.

Any rule change that would prevent members, VIP or regular, (ab)using RG only to sell their reps without properly participating on this forum will be welcomed by many....and hopefully we'll also see that the pricing of the reps for sale is going to be fairer. Too many times I see reps for sale that can be bought brand spanking new for considerably less

Interesting. I see a lot of 'VIP' 'Elite' 'Spartan' 'w/e you want to call them' sell watches for the same price as brand new, except they are used.

Sorry i was never one for the elitism of forums. I think RG is a great place and i was able to get some sweet deals and everything, but it shouldn't get to much in people's head

Oh and just because someone has a VIP tag doesn't mean they won't screw you big time. It's a nice security feature, but its just that, a nice security feature.

Edit: Before anyone jumps on me, i do support RG direction, it's a good community. If i ever feel the need to sell on RG, then i'll be the first one to get that VIP tag and 100 good posts

not sure where the elitism is being interpreted with VIP membership
it's a 1 time deal that helps support the forum and helps to build a rapport or connection with your fellow collectors.
why wait till you need a sale to become active in the forum, that isn't the point of post count limitations.
start posting/sharing info and pics with your brethren and be part of the community.
participate, i think that's all that is being asked of anyone here.

The VIP tag,is not for selling...that's what a lot of people fail to understand.
Otherwise we would just force you to upgrade.
