Nobody said the thread needed to go. Just be mindful.
If you like I can explain the difference but reading through the ToS would probably provide clarity. There's nothing wrong with helping someone find a part. When it turns into a [want] ad then it goes to the classifieds section. By rights, folks that have information about a possible sale should be sending that info to Dave in Private Message. I tend to turn a blind eye to links to ads because invariably, the OP might want to gather advice on whether it's a good or bad deal and that point, the OP is only considering that option. As soon as it turns into a purchase or purchase info is discussed directly, then it's a classifieds section topic.
To explain it another way: See the current thread title. It's appropriate for a discussion forum whereas, "I am looking for X part and will pay $Y". This is not a discussion thread topic anymore.
Some may think I'm splitting hairs while the line is pretty clear to me.
When you started asking guys to send pictures of their stripped down rears well that's when the line was crossed. (Did you get my pic dave?)
Sure did Chris, well worth the money..,....though 25 cents seemed a little pricey at first.
Ok, the current owner of the '03 cobra IRS quite literally scoffed at my $1000 offer.
That's ok, i'm starting a conversation with him about IRS's , asking his opinion and such. Somewhere I'll drop the idea that I paint cars for a living and I'll see if I can whore myself out for a deal on his rear end.
Did that sound bad?

Wait, were you the dude that just called about my $2500 ad?
Who is this escrow company you were talking about?
Oh man... I didn't even think about your unique position as a paint/body guy. That's a metric S-ton of leverage where foxes are concerned (assuming your shop is kind).
Taintnet...

He's probably opened the safe and is now breaking the seal on the "What to do in case of rear-end" checklist.
It will all be ok though. He's trained for this moment.
