Anyone know why I can't post a reply in the wanted section? It says Administrators only!

What's going on?! :shock: Surely this can't be right! :roll: Is it just me or is everyone locked out?

No it's not just you.
I believe that the philosophy behind the Wanted and For Sale sections being locked is that anyone with a genuine interest in a part or has the required part that is wanted, PM the person directly.

Nigel has it

The decision was takes from the outset the in for sale/wanted the club would run things as more of a classified setup to avoid the endless stream of good luck, that's too expensive etc etc posts
PMs work just fine though ;)

Seeing the mess that many of the OC threads end up, it's probably a good decision too.

I guess I should read the site policy a bit more thoroughly! :oops: I must admit I'd have thought that deals done out in the open would be a good thing, but no worries :D

Deals done in the open are a good thing for sure. But posts that get drowned in "good meeting you the other day, good luck with the sale", "pfft, can get them on eBay for half that", *insert in-joke for select group of people* etc are irritating as hell!

Just to add to the rest of the replies - another reason was that you sometimes get a deluge of comments regarding the price of the item.

So basically if you are interested in an item in the for sale/wanted section just PM the poster.

And of course "Caveat Emptor" :)
