No one can

Seemingly you haven't looked over the classifieds rules yet, you may want to review & familiarize yourself with them to help avoid any possible infractions, suspension or being banned.

ok, I've been a member for over 30 days, and have over 30 posts. still can't see any classifieds… is my account waiting for someone to review it before granting me access or what?

[lowlow]

Prob so. Unless you plan on sitting by the computer refreshing every five minutes, like quite a few folks do that buy most of the stuff , after the moderators go through it I'm sure, I mean hell i would, they have to get ALL the badass deals. The point is, even when you're able to get classifieds be ready for everything good to be sold out five minutes after 15 ads drop at one time. Not knocking anyone I did it for year, literally have to refresh about every 15 minutes.. And be faster than anyone in the world typing to PM the seller before the other select few regulars get it. After u see some of the stuff and what good deals there are you like a fool for buying new. Just pay the $20 and be done it's what I do. Im sure it goes to the site or some good cause. Good luck
The first come first serve I understand and I'm cool with. I haven't sold anything and I spent several thousand dollars last year or so, But to Buy it and turn Around and sell it on eBay, i think They should be banned from classifieds.. Again not knocking anyone in particular, just seen stuff on here for sale and then saw it on eBay a few days later. Thats horse shit.

Thanks for this note.
I was looking around late last night and was suprised there wasn't a 'trade' section - this is my answer.

Cheers

I'm trying to be patient in achieving my 30 posts. Its a bit of a catch 22 really. Can't be a post whore so I started a build thread (not yet approved/posted) for my new ride (HPI WK). I want to make my posts somewhat meaningful in starting a from build scratch..which requires new parts...where the classified would be helpful..but not accessible because I'm new. GAH! Glad I got that off my chest.

Ask people about what they did with their builds or do "updates" on yours

Obvious attempts at post whoring to reach 30 posts will be thwarted.

The 20.00 bucks for a star will be some of the best money you will invest in this hobby.
You can easily save that in one classified purchase.

If it looks like a person is just posting to bump up their post count, we'll delete the posts and knock it back down. Some are more obvious at it than others, and there are many who try to be sneaky about it, but its really not that hard for us moderators to spot. So what do you do? Be patient or pony up $20 to get a star (which has other values apart from access to the classifieds).

I think I went several months before I cracked 30 posts, and it was almost a year before I became a paying member.

[motakitty]

I know it took me along time to be able yo view classifieds cause I don't believe in paying for it. That's just my view and also I really do like this forum. It's worth more than the $20 but I'm just cheap

I can understand and appreciate the rules that ensure that members are active and involved before gaining access to the classifieds...but for those of us who are just testing the waters and may be looking to enter this segment of the hobby, having meaningful contributions to the existing threads is difficult....

Cannot post as in start a new thread to advertise something or can't respond to threads that are there.
If the later no one can, you must respond via PM.
