George N. M. Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Moderator: If you feel this post better fits in Tailgating please place it there. Earlier today someone posted a notice of an estate sale in [deleted] but, unfortunately, they posted a direct commercial link (shock! horror!) and it got moderated away quckly. I happened to see it while it was up and the sale looks interesting. [deleted]. Anyway, I will mention it in a way that I am pretty sure does not violate the terms of service. It is with [deleted]. That should give anyone enough information to do their own research and find it. [deleted] George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hibbert Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Looks like he has [deleted]. Wish I could make it there, but 1000 miles is a little too far for an estate sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryFahnoe Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I noticed the sale posting as well George, but it got swept away before I could reply. [deleted] The thing that struck me as I looked at the large number of photos of the shop is that things appeared to have been in use relatively recently, as though the owner passed suddenly. The sad note to my mind (that probably strikes a chord with many of us) is that he or she did not have the opportunity to direct the disposition of their treasures. On the other hand I guess I'd rather go with my hammer in my hand, but that's a thought for another day... --Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod34 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 MOD NOTE: The posting in question was removed not simply because it contained a commercial link, but because the tailgating rules specifically state that the section is for person-to-person sales between forum members ONLY. Glenn was quite adamant that posting notices of third-party sales was not permitted. This is distinct from the rules regarding posting company names or commercial links. The first is permitted, as it provides information to forum members about sources of supply. The second is forbidden, as it constitutes unpaid advertising and feeds web traffic algorithms. The rule against posting notices of third-party sales remains in effect. This thread will not be deleted, to help members understand the policy. However, information about this specific sale will be removed from the thread and comments will be turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
