I would like to Thank all that Post in Swap shop
with out your help would not be Building my Boat.
We need to have 2012 Spring Garage sale of " Used " boat items
To me this is Grass roots offshore movement . Lately this site is less about Boats and more about gripes on others or personal attacks.
Quit the B.S and get Boating and share positive experiences and common bond that on the water shares. One mans Junk is another mans treasuer

This thread was started because a few are taking advantage of this site with sales for profit on a large basis and others are constantly TTT their adds everyday nothing more.
I think the swap section should stay but with rules put in place such as limits of price and to parts only not complete engines, boat hulls ect. We already have a classified section that I PAY for the privilege to use.I think that the swap section should be changed to paying members listings only....free lunch who gets a free lunch?.....I see that most that are for it to stay the way it is aren't even paying members. I also think it should be kept to its own section and not show up when you use the "new posts" option just like the PAY to use classified section.

i think if your not a paying member you should not be able to sell or purchase on here, and if you dont like the ttt, then go on down the row if your on here enough you know whats a new posting or a repost, but if these little things bother you, then maybe u need a doctor!!!i had a collection of parts that im selling to buy more part from oso members, and another funny thing i noticed is most of the complainers if you go back and look at all there post the have always been complainers, not saying this guy is but most are, so if you dont have any parts to sell or want to buy some parts stay out of that section. or ignore the T.T.T THREADS.

If you open a can of worms, you do something that will cause a lot of problems and is, on balance, probably going to cause more trouble than it's worth.

I can see why you would be worried, looks like you make a fair income from your free postings in the Swap Shop.................

OK, so who's the guy out there buying used up old boats for the purpose of parting them out to make a profit? It shouldn't be hard to find him, he'll be the guy with the bottomless pit out back to dump in all those worthless hulls. Come on, own up to it to put Fogducker and brian at ease.
Advertizers are selling mostly new parts for the sole purpose of making a profit. There's a difference between them and the guy trying to get back some of his investment in used parts taking up space and not being used. Who ever made money on a used part?
Stop the crying, as for the TTT issue, OSO should make it easier to keep your post current so you don't have to add another post making it longer. How about putting a time stamp on the posts and deleting them automatically after a determinned period of time?
