I get the concern with scammers, but seriously.... I've sold heaps of stuff. Heaps of people have come to my house to buy it. I've posted things worth over 1000.
I have clearly made a lot of posts.
It would be a person way more dedicated than me to spend over a year helping the community, selling a lot of stuff then to just try to scam people. Especially considering the fact I have never hidden my number, or asked people to meet me away from home etc.
It's just as time has gone on I have found having my number on the net is annoying to me.
I understand my request means work for someone, but realistically I'm still entitled to ask.
Anyway, its actually a part of the rules of the for sale section to post a phone number, and I appreciate that. What I don't understand is why it has to stay there after the item is sold.
Many other forums delete or completely edit threads once the item is sold. This forum has decided for some reason to leave the thread intact, I presume to get more google hits. That's cool. But why leave the number there?
Anyway, hopefully it's easy to edit them for me, or give me temporary editing rights.
Cheers
Ben
