i'm in agreement with most other no classified ads thread.
i have a feeling that it would take over the board.

That's my feelings...If a regular member who posts a lot wants to mention some tools or wood, etc. they have for sale, I don't have a problem, but...if someone new jumps on the board and their first post is "I've got xx for sale..." I'll ask them to remove it.

To be honest, though...when I heard that Goody is looking to get rid of extra tools, I was quick to PM him <grin>

Bob, was that to ask him to remove his post or to get his tools? :>)

Asking about the tools, of course <grin>
Now if someone's first post was "I've got tools for sale"...that's different!

It was to ask him to remove his tools and send them to Bob!! ha ha

I'm in favor of no ads, but if someone ocasionally mentions that they're looking for something. I don't think it would hurt.
I had that experience earlier this year. Someone was looking for a duplicarver, & I happened to have one that I never used anymore, & was collecting dust in my shop. It gave me incentive to get rid of it. I private messaged that person, & it went to the hands of someone who would use it.
