The issue was not with them posting new threads. It was them posting on threads and stealing the sale. They can still PM you to get intouch. This just helps members already on the board and gives them first refusal.

I thought all users were banned from posting withing threads, i had two guys that were interested buying my old ST alloys off me.

One was a no show and all too dodgy character the other is looking i returned a pm to say these are still available.

A completely new member has just signed up, replied to his thread and offered him alloys which I believe due to the lack of response to my pm's he is going for instead.

Why not have 'The Lot' in the members section? (Has anyone already said this?)

Then if there's no interest after a week say, advertise it in the other thread?

You want to widen your chances of a sale so keep it public but if a member PM's you and you get on with them well at meets then you can discount them a bit e.g. I did that with a lot of my sales as I like you guys!

^^^ and achieved 'Legend' status in the process ^^^
