500 posts is a bit extreme considering the lower amount of forum activity recently.

Didn't know the 90 day period was another option, have yet to post anything in the classifieds. Good to know I'm past that.

With that, the 500 post count is probably to deter useless posts to reach the min post count.

Being said I've had only good experiences with buying/selling on this site.

What I don't like is people saying "Add 3% for paypal"...just list the item for $103 shipped instead of $100, idk why this is such a big deal on here.

You have three options:
1.) Create 500 posts
2.) Stop being a little ***** and pay the $30 if you want to post. If you can't afford $30 then you shouldn't own a sports car.
3.) STFU.

Take your pick child.

when I first joined I paid the $30 to sell because I didn't want to deal with idiots on craigslist. I never renewed my membership though . So if you can't wait just pay the fee.

i understand your frustration! however there is a science to this madness.

you see I've bought things on the forum here. And whenever I do I always check to see how many posts they have and do a quick read over on some of their threads or posts just to see what kinda person they are. I'd say 100% of the time they turn out a green light in my eyes and they are legitimate seller.

I know judging someone by their posts seems ridiculous but I'd trust someone whos been here a while over people who might have just joined!

Everyone here already has a 350z. Prob not the best place to try and sell anyways, just put it on craigslist. FWIW the rules are good here for keeping out scammers. And really $30 is nothing if it leads to the car being sold good luck either way

Nobody wants to buy anything from a new member with no post history, add that to the fact that most people seem to want $10 less than retail price.
