Sharing links to products for sale....

[BeerBudgetRacing]

In the past if we found something on craigslist or another site that we thought might be of interest to other members we would post in the appropriate for sale section.

Since those are now paid sections, how do we share?

Example. This Dallara might be of interest to someone.

What is the protocol? Do I have to pay to share things like this?

However you do have a valid question.

I don't have any say on how the process works anymore. It's all up to Doug and Kim, but without knowing if someone is "referring" to their own ad as themselves or a friend in order to circumvent paying for an ad by putting it in a different forum, I don't see how it could be policed. Without having anyone particular in mind with whom you would want to share something with via personal message, you may either have to pay for an ad or stop referring items for sale just in case other people may be interested. It can't be something that would cause extra investigative work to make sure that the seller is in fact not the referrer.

Just wondering, would it matter if the person linking to the ad has a Classified Super License? Interesting enough a bought the Reynard I raced this year and recently sold on here due to a member posting a link to the Craigslist ad a year ago.

That would be an exception, yes. They should have the option to post it in classifieds then.

Oh I agree. After posting this my thought was maybe a single thread somewhere called "Check this out" and people could just post links to it. Wouldn't be their own thread.....

What Keith said is accurate. Thanks for asking.

There will always be someone trying to game the system by linking to their own sale on another site, so we don't allow those types of "found" our "outing" posts. In the case of Classified subscribers, it would be allowed, as there would be no reason to try to circumvent anything on ApexSpeed.
