I'll bite.

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

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.

How about this, if a person posts something in the new Sierra chapter "For Sale Folder", a 5% donation must be given to as a service charge payable through paypal or sent to the chapter Pres to be held until a Sierra Chapter event. At this point the monies can be spent for raffle prizes or maybe just food for a BBQ.

Nothing happens until you have the BOD's approval. To do that you either can join or find a current member to bring up this change in the member section for discussion.

Anything said here in the Chapter forums won't change anything.

One of the features of the new classified section is to search by ZIP code.

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.

Really? I can get it to SHOW the distance from me of an item, but I can't figure out how to SEARCH or SORT by distance. I am dumb, but I can usually figure these types of things out.

The search button I clicked on has no "distance" option, and I didn't see any such thing on the page.

I agree with both of you I relly liked posting my junk for sale here, only here, and not in the For Sale section, no shipping people would come pick up and it worked our just fine.

But then ONE person thought it would be ok to abuse it, and the Sierra Chapter looked like one persons "For Sale" section.

I understand why it is this way now, I don't like it, but it is better then having a Sierra Chapter look like all we do is sell stuff. One person killed it for all of us, some people just have no restraint, and as we all know some people are just stupid.

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.
