question about NG

I can't find the FAQs for this NG can I post for sale ads here without getting ripped a new posterior? Thanks John



Usually no, that's frowned upon, even without a charter. It's best to post for sales in your local forsale newsgroups.

Sure, if it's of interest to Subaru owners.

I'm gonna have to side with Yousuf on this one, just because being a global news group, you can be guaranteed that your "FS:" post will not be of interest to 99% of the readers.

Someone looking for a used Soobie will most likely be looking locally.

good point - but as a long time contributer to alt fan landrover we operated on the basis of live and let live - private ads are of interest wherever you live we all posses assinine curiosity as to how much everyone else pays. Dominics point is valid this is posted on the World Wide Web a fact often overlooked in some quarters he is fortunate in that his email addy shows his Canadian origin many do not including mine (England) and he isnt really that far from the US border in case of needing a part not available in canada plus of course when I bought my new camera online from Canada it was actually quicker by far than buying from a UK supplier. It makes sense to include your location in any question /offer especially those which start "where can I?" no point in me telling you where to get your Scooby tuned if it includes an ocean crossing but if you happen to be coming over on holiday I can source you a "frangible widget" with no problem -I found a driveshaft repair kit for an american A.F.L. user .(btw the Viagra and pornsite posters can rot in hell) maybe we are a special case on A F L but its very pally over there and we get few moron posts to sensible questions and not much flaming Derek

there are 4 sale sections of at least 2-3 soob specific forums. Check

Well if it's for hard to find parts that can be shipped, why not?

Good point! I was assuming that Novak was talking about selling a car.
