The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

We recently went through a period where posts to the Trader section had to be pre approved before they were posted. The moderator was pretty clear and specific about the requirements. At the moment ten of the posts on the first page do not follow the clear and simple guidelines. Come on guys, let's follow the guidelines. Let's keep the Trader section vital and relevant and avoid pre approval.

Respectfully, Jerry Blais

I don't care for the ads which state no prices.

Although, this thread has nothing to do with "Machines".
Here are the Yankee Trader guidelines as posted by the moderator...

FOR SALE: Title of Object For Sale - $0.00

If you are accepting offers, you may use:

FOR SALE: Title of Object For Sale - INQUIRE

If you are listing multiple items, you may use:

FOR SALE: Title of Object For Sale - VARIOUS

Hopefully, as Jerry states, we all follow the above guidelines... . I don't count ten myself on the first page.. .

Because I went through last night and deleted a bunch of blatantly incorrect listings.

Did you delete chunnybh's HMV gasket listing? That was put up long before the formatting rules were established and was a good resource, yet now it's gone!

I found the listing through the search function so I could buy one, then posted feedback after receiving my order. That's why it was bumped back up.

You should at least look at what you're deleting.

You boys play by the rules or you're going to get nuked. We've had enough of your handful around here.

What, me?
Did you even read my whole comment?

And what's with the threats? I have been following the rules to the T.

I didn't look at the date, people don't usually dig up several year old posts in the Yankee Trader section. My mistake.
