Thank you, Para.

Perhaps we can police ourselves as we do in the Lounge?

Great news!

I think the Classifieds section represents an aspect of the bond among members here as a manifestation of the trust we've developed with each other. For me, it's an integral part of the SIGforum experience.

With the occasional transactions I've had, I established new personal relationships with some members.

I'm glad we'll continue to have the privilege.

Thank you, Para.

Glad to hear it, Para. I’ll be eagerly waiting to see the changes. Thank you.

Thanks Para....if we all do our parts it will work out.

Para, in regards to the update;
...thank you, thank you... THANK YOU!!!

This is great news!

I'm glad to hear it's staying, I think I've only ever posted a couple of WTB ads, maybe never a WTS, but I won't miss that feature critically. It's a small amount of bath water to throw out so we can keep the baby.
Appreciate it!

Many thanks Para.

Thank you, Sir!

A simple rule could solve a lot of problems; require a "proof of life" pic for all listings (pic of item with listing date, seller's name and "Sig Forum" written on a piece of paper in the ad) and for WTB, well, that's harder. Maybe require the WTB offeror post the same as reply meaning anybody working in the shadows via email only isn't legit.

Thank you! I usually do what PGT suggested for newer people or I just advise them I'm not comfortable doing business.

With longtime members, I've actually sent the item before I even receive payment and vice versa. I do my best to be good to people.

I bought a Glock 21 threaded barrel and some P228 baseplates from BDavis a long time ago. I didn't keep track but I think it was months later I noticed he never cashed my check. Finally got ahold of him and reminded him to cash my check. lol

Sig Forum has the highest quality individuals, Americans, Gun Men, to deal with. I don't do a lot of stuff on classifieds, been 10 years probably, but I remember doing a trade (239 for 226 I think), and the member gave a 24 hour inspection/rejection period (talking bout you Bionic!). I have never encountered that elsewhere, and it has always resonated with me as emblematic of the old-fashioned honest people we have here (talking bout you agin Bionic!), polar opposite of "caveat emptor." So, long-winded way to say, I am delighted Para is keeping that page.

Thank you, Para.

Thank you , Para for keeping the Classified and ALL the hard work associated with running this great Forum! I will do my part!

Easy to fake with an image editor. Just saw it happen, in another forum, and it wasn't even a real good fake.

Ain't that right, SIG228?

SIG228 is a shitposter. You won’t get anything of value out of him.

I'm glad to hear the classifieds will be staying and welcome any new rules or guidelines for making it better for Para, all of us really.
I haven't utilized them much only purchasing one 27-2 some years back. But I enjoy browsing them, and am getting to the age that I should start selling off some of my modest accumulation and here is the place I would feel most comfortable doing so.

Thanks Para, I know the bs with the classifieds was giving you heartburn. I really appreciate your decision.

Para Thank You for letting the Classifieds stay. I really appreciate it!

Thanks, Para, I have bought very little and sold far less on our Classifieds, but I enjoy looking at the ads and just having them here.

Looking forward to the changes and appreciate all your efforts which make this the best Forum on the 'Net.

I've never used the Classifieds, but if ever want to sell one of my guns, especially one of my Sigs, I'd prefer a fellow member get the first opportunity.
