Would a Sticky thread of "Items Wanted/Trade/Sell" really hurt ?

Spending enough time on a forum talking to people all with the same interest/passion is cool, I'm a member of a few guitar/bass forums an have in the past brought used gear off other forum members, especially parts. ive posted an "I'm looking for a.......etc" one persons junk is another's treasure an all that.

At the end of the day if you ever wanted to sell/buy a guitar/part on (with this being a Fender forum it would be impolite to advertise anything other that a wanted to sell/buy advert for anything non Fender related, other forums for that) wouldn't you want that guitar to go to a good home i.e give the first offer to the forum first ?

I suppose its a case of it "can be abused it will be abused" the threads start off innocent with posts like "I'm looking for a ??? (e.g) bridge pick up for my Strat" "Ive got one of them kicking about PM me your details" etc etc an the next thing you no the thread has turned into a commission free ebay an people are trying to sell household appliances etc on there so its just flat out no to buying/selling on here

Shame realy......... (just my theory)

Well yeah it would, I don't want to see it. There are plenty of sites where you can find such areas. Let's not sully this site with the same.
Legal responsibilities aside, it's just tacky, would do Fender no favours whatsoever, WCJ your sponsors are deluded. How on earth can used sales increase new sales?

So stop being lazy and go to Ebay or whatever 2nd hand site.

thats not being lazy thats investment protection, buying where you feel comfortable.
its like anything else if you dont like it dont use it, or change the channel.
