Just as a guess, because 'Whats it worth?' threads are not allowed.

im sure its been said in the past that GD isnt the place for whats it worth posts. i could be wrong but im sure the place is the parts for sale section although it could be argued that theyre not actually for sale yet either.

what happens if its something some one wants to know, who maybe looking at buying something. for instance whats a used garrat t3 worth??? that shouldnt go in the parts for sale coz they dont have one for sale there looking at buying one.

common problem on here tbh, happened to me and see loads of 'where's my thread gone' topics so I think its about time things were made clear where to post these topics instead of just deleting the threads with no explanation dictator style!

10. Selling items as a private individual.
Only gold members may offer parts for sale on this forum on a private basis.
"For sale" topics must be in an allocated sales forum and will not be tolerated in any other part of the forum. We also ask that members selling many items at once try to do so in one topic as opposed to listing each item seperately, this aids the smooth running of the busy sales section's.


Took me 10 seconds to find that.

Fairly easy - any other clarification?

That has nothing to do with the "whats this worth?" original post? He was asking a question, not offering a sale.

(1) you dont get it do you? Sometimes people just want to know 'how much its worth' like the title says.....not some hidden attempt to sell.

(2) Babscossie is a goldmember.

(3) Why not just move the thread to the relevant room (in effect moderating) instead of deleting it; prompting these threads asking where peoples threads have gone?

(4) If you're going to quote the rules, please read them properly and how they relate to the situation in question...you're just making a fool of yourself.

because a whats it worth thread is really a for sale post in disguise. unless he needs a valuation of his turbo for insurance purposes?

make a random offer and see if its accepted. most sites i use dont allow 'offers' all parts for sale have to include a price. so id haggle on that price.
or be a bit smarter and post a "ive been looking for a part x for ages and someones offered me part x for Łxxx (make up your own guess price), is it worth it ? what should i pay for that part in that condition? " instead of a "whats it worth" thread
thats what i did and it wasnt deleted

OMG. didn't realise my little thread would cause such a dilema!!! (sp)

I do agree though. sorry my thread was in the wrong room but why couldn't it of just been moved. Maybe that would be too simple or polite.

Never mind, there's always the RSOC

I see this going way overboard. The rules aren't clear enough. Simple as that.
