Dealer trade-in's are historically considered a bad deal.
Except I am selling vacuums to a vacuum enthusiast community at a live sales event. I made this post in the "for sale" section. Why on earth someone would visit a for-sale section and then complain about someone selling something is beyond me.
I'd understand if no sales forum existed and I just put this crap up in your general forum. Then it's spam because nobody asked for it and nobody knows me well enough to care. Is my mustang suddenly better if I have a join date from 2012 with 1000 posts? Would it make sense for CL or ebay to block sales from people who have less than 1 year residency at their home address?
If the members of this website have a problem with new people selling things then I recommend you close the sales forum and only allow such listings in your general forum, then you can delete everything posted by first timers so you have a nice limited selection of offers from a few loyal members.

Nobody knows who the hell you are, and nobody can vouch for you. If you've ever been on the internet for more than 5 minutes of your life for the past 20 years, you would know that it's proper "etiquette" to at the very least introduce yourself to the forum before you try to sell something.
And yes, your Mustang is suddenly better if you were a member here for a few years with a bunch of posts. Almost everyone on this forum knows everyone else in person. We have (had) track days, we have dyno days, etc. We know and trust each other, that's how enthusiast forums work.
Besides, it doesn't have an LS swap so nobody cares anyways
