I have a bit of a dilemma with a posting currently in the Classified section. In the old days of the BST, I know how this could have been handled but now I'm no longer sure so here I am asking...

I have just encountered a posting in the new Classified section that I consider to be deceptive or at least incorrect. This may be due to the inexperience of a new member or, worst case scenario, it may be due to someone trying to pull a fast one. In either case, I will definitely PM the seller right after posting this message but I don't think that goes far enough. That is because if the seller disagrees with, or disregards, my suggestion to him, then some other new or inexperienced member may believe the description in the listing and get screwed.

I think the most detrimental difference between the BST and the Classified sections is the drastic reduction in comments associated with listings in the Classified sections. The result of this is that there is less peer review of the items put up for sale. That means that questionable items are not as likely to be questioned and that commendable items are less like to be recommended. Both lead to less help/guidance for newer members.

Finally my question...

In the new Classified section, is it okay to post a comment to basically challenge the veracity of a listing or to ask for the seller to explain his experience to in order to justify his claims? Of course I mean for this to be done in a relatively tactful and courteous manner, to the best of my abilities.
