Dealers posting in classifieds

[bwframe]

I think we should encourage the use of our classifieds. Especially for those that are paying what they do to advertise.

PK Arms seem like stand up folks and I hope we all support the folks that support our site.

Maybe PK Arms will spread their adds around just a bit to not monopolize the much desired front page so much? They don't have to though, as they are following the rules. Might be a further reason for us to think about supporting them?

Eh, I don’t have an issue with advertisers posting. Just do what most liberals do, click the angry reaction button and voice your disapproval of them doing something they are allowed to do, directly to them.

I don't mind dealers posting in the classifieds but I think they should limit the number of ads or combined what they're selling into one or two ads instead of having seven or eight ads right in a row.


One concern that I have is non-indiana residents selling in the classifieds. I believe that our classifieds here should be for Hoosiers not for people that are out of state. Just my thought

So if a long time respected member relocates out of state and wants to continue to deal with people he has knowledge of in a trusted community and does not break any laws you want to not allow that?

Where does the owner of this site live?

Why would one selling something limit themselfs to the State they live in?

With all the call for restricting this, limiting that, more rules on who can list, who can buy, who can sell, etc...

You'd think it was an after-school Junior ATF club in here.

TexKev owns this site. I don‘t Recall him ever selling anything on it. He pays the server costs and licensing fees for the software. He has to cover the expenses and make enough profit above the expenses to make it worth his while. If he doesn’t then the board will get closed which hopefully none of wants. Advertisements no longer generate revenue anywhere close to what it used to, so site supporter and the industry partners (or whatever they call them now) are a big part of paying the bills. So like it or not, we need them.

The reason I posted the question was because a poster said that they thought that classifieds should be open to people only in Indiana. I was trying to make a point that the owner does not live in Indiana, I for one have no problem with the classifieds or the rules put in place. If no laws or rules are broken, then don't fix it is what I am saying. And I don't understand why some posters have problems with it.

We have a lot of members that don't live in Indiana. Not a problem at all as it is good to hear from others and learn about the laws, etc. for other areas we might travel to. I think the concern about people selling/buying that live in other states is more about the legality of selling across state lines and most like to do FTF deals.

And if TK, KJQ, WCD or anyone else out of state wanted to sell something non-4473, they can. Or if they could sell that 4473 item and follow the law if they wanted.
