you have to have enough posts and 3 months of membership at least to be able to post in the classifieds.
from the forum rules
Quote:
Members wishing to post a 'For Sale'(FS) or 'For Trade'(WTT) or a 'Wanted to Buy (WTB) ad must have a minimum of three (3) months of membership and no less than 100 posts or six (6) months of membership and no fewer than 50 posts. Exceptions to this rule may be made by the super moderator team.
and....................:gaah:..........there it is!Quote:

Everybody should be able to post in the wtb section, but it seems that since the latest upgrade in the software this doesn't work anymore.
We'll try to fix it.
Agreed!
Even the new guy should be able to ask to buy things!:D
I want to sell a razor but have only been a member since 2/22/2011 and I basically just read the info in the forums. Most questions I have are already answered if I bother to look for it. I'm not sure how posting 50 or a 100 times makes me a better candidate for selling a razor someone might be intertested in. Can someone please explain this rule to me. Not trying to be a pain about this just trying to understand the rational
I may be completely wrong, but I imagine that they only want people active in the site posting in the classifieds in order to keep vendors and other people from offering sub-par new razors and possible misrepresented vintage razors. Not sure if that is right but it sounds good.Quote:

Thanks again
Right, the Classifieds is a place for members of the SRP community to offer some of their stuff for sale. If somebody isn't really a part of the community they can always use other venues like ebay. There are probably more people looking for razors on ebay than on SRP anyways.
Thanks. I have read quite a bit on the forum already, but as a novice I'm not really sure I have much to offer in the way of posting my own experiences since most of these things are covered in the many threads I have read. I hope that you don't consider me "not part of the comunnity" just because I don't post a lot.
An introductory post might make you feel more like part of the community. :)
Thanks. I'll try to come up with something insightful and witty that will dazzle the SRP membership. :tu
Of course you are part of the community. The forums are loaded with time proven helpful ideas and pointers for all experience levels. Keep reading and If you have a question post it.Someone will surely answer or make suggestions. Most of us on here have learned by reading and asking questions. Good luck and welcome to SRP.
Making sure that items sold in the classifides are sold from active members keeps the classifides honest, and greatly decreases the chance that you will buy something from some yahoo who disappears after mailing you garbage. You can be somewhat assured that you are buying something that was accurately described, from someone who cares as much about straightrazors and wetshaving as you do.
This has proven to an awesome community of trustworthy members, who are not in it to make a buck, but genuinely care about helping the new guy get up and running. So, of course you are welcome to share and learn...but to be honest, your VERY FIRST (and only) 4 posts are complaining about not being able to sell anything.
I'm with HNSB. Start by introducing yourself. It doesnt have to be dazzling or witty. just a hey. where are you from? how many razors do you own? what kinds? what strops? Any hones? what is your preshave routine? Any interests other than shaving? yada yada.
Its not a thesis on the origin of species. It's courtesy.
Its just the way it is, and keeps the make-a-quick-buck knucleheads on ebay. If you're not one of those guys, then welcome to SRP, and if you have anyquestions feel free to ask.
If you are, then I suspect I am wasting my keystrokes, as you have probably aready moved on. Either way :gl:
Right, and while you are doing that, bear in mind that virtually everyone starts out by just asking questions. It's most appreciated if the questions come as a result of doing a little research on the forums or elsewhere, but as you can see by the Beginner area, that isn't always the case. Either way we view it as participation and a way for new guys to get more engaged in SRP and straight razor use, collecting or whatever. Get to know us and let us get to know you and, hopefully, everyone benefits.Quote:

Hopefully you will enjoy it here and, over time, see the value in our insistence that we put the welfare of our community ahead of anyone's commercial interest.

Well spoken Bill.
I am not a big "POSTER" either. I am very low key but was hoping to participate in some sales etc.Quote:
