Please keep ads out of here

Hi All, can we please keep ads to the classified section. We have been allowing references in the 'found on the net' area too.
The place loses it's focus with a load of ads.

A sticky here ( "Instruments" ) guiding future sellers might be useful.

I don't find the location of the classifieds ( under "Goodies" ) to be entirely obvious.

I'll "sticky" this topic and add a link to the Classifieds section.

http://classifieds.tromboneforum.org/

Edit 12/30/11: The Classifieds section referenced in the link above is not functional as of the date of this edit. Please use the following link instead:

Found on the Net is OK. Not Instruments. Please understand the difference.

This board (Instruments) is for talking about characteristics of instruments, playing feel, options, etc. It is NOT for buying or selling.

I know.I thought you guys meant no stuff about buying/selling instruments in found on the net.

ttf_sdjazz · Post by **ttf_sdjazz** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:52 pm

Okay.

Nope - Sorry if I was not clear. We're just trying to keep them out of Instruments section, and the Classifieds area is intended to be the primary place for ads.

You are not trying to sell it? Then you need no price point.

You want to sell it? Then put it on ebay and I assure you the market will establish
a price point for you.

Incapable of searching the web for like items to know your market?
Don't try selling your wares.

I guess we have to define what an ad is. If someone is posting "news" about what their protégé tech is currently building, how much it costs, and how it's all the rage for pro players, I'd consider that an ad.

ttf_anonymous · Post by **ttf_anonymous** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 6:20 pm

where do we post to sell something now that the ttf classifieds are shut down

Ebay??

Lots of good places to sell stuff.

There are also classifieds at Trombone.org.

tbone62, when I try to open this link in my browser it says that

"The Classifieds area is in the midst of a major upgrade.
Watch this space for the reappearance of the site, estimated to be 1 October 2011."

Has the classfields section changed to a different place or is somehow still not accessible??

The original classifieds are still inoperable. The mods graciously created a new for sale topic here:

ttf_anonymous · Post by **ttf_anonymous** » Fri Dec 30, 2011 3:26 am

Duly noted! I posted the few I found in an attempt to learn more about them, but I shall migrated them to classified from now on. Thanks!

ttf_BGuttman · Post by **ttf_BGuttman** » Fri Dec 30, 2011 5:31 am

Note: if you found some interesting instrument you may be interested in buying, you can ask about it here or in "Found on the Net". Offers to sell, trade, or buy are supposed to go in the Classified section. Negotiations belong in the PM or e-mail areas.

To put it a little more bluntly:

"I found a Buescher Grand trombone. What is it?" can go here.

"I want to buy an Elkhart Conn 88H" goes in Classifieds.

"I have one to sell you" in response to an ad goes as a PM.

I have not found the classified section for a long time. The link I have says it is down until 10/2011.

Is there a classified section?

Can someone post a link please?

ttf_anonymous · Post by **ttf_anonymous** » Sun Jul 29, 2012 8:13 pm

Simple. Sign in and look at the bottom of the page.

Under "Forum Administration" you will see a classified section. (just above "recent posts")

You will notice that it's an announcement. Nowhere are prices mentioned. If they were, I'd have moved it to Classifieds.

Feel free to ask questions about the new Shires Q series there, or on Ben Griffin's thread, or BrassGurus' thread.
