Bryan C. said:While you bring up some good points Troy, you have yet to convince me of how an individual selling an item is chapter business? How does a thread about 4 sets of Lebaron hood vents for sale, which the guy is selling for a profit, benefit the chapter? How is that "hooking up your chapter bro's?" What you and others are posting could be considered a commercial post, which is only allowed in one forum, period. Maybe if the chapter got a portion of the money recieved(similar to ebay) then I would consider it being chapter business. Until then, this should be bought up to the national BOD if you are serious about changing all the chapter forums.

At this point the monies can be spent for raffle prizes or maybe just food for a BBQ.

If everyone would start using the classifieds to sell stuff and not chapter forums, it would get used more, by everyone!
Jes has determined to have zero tolerance in this forum and that is his choice and the National BOD will back him up on his decision.

BTW, "Got something to sell" thread is now a sticky here, so it is up top for all to see.

When surfing the for sale section I look 1st at the distance, would much rather deal with someone within driving distance than across the country then I look at the item/goods.
I believe that post of the type "91 XJ on Craigslist in SF" are ok on the chapter forum, general "I have axles, doors, glass, engines, vents, etc for sale" need to go in the for sale item.
I have purchased 4 items through the site, all on the for sale forum. 3 went well (all Sierra) one didn't go so well, but the guy on the east coast came through and returned my check vice the parts.
That's my peace,
I am off to pick-n-pull for a battery tray & hold down

The search button I clicked on has no "distance" option, and I didn't see any such thing on the page.
Mark Hinkley said:Maybe not "searchable" but,
I just enter my Zip code, "hit go" and the miles to the all the part shows up!
Try it you might like it. BTW, if it is like under a 100 miles it most likely is in your chapter area.
