Title: Classified Ads (PLEASE READ)
Post by: CASH on January 03, 2012, 11:08:49 AM
Most of the members here do a good job adhering to the rules of posting a classified ad,  but over the past two months I have had to send an increasing number of pm's to members who are not posting pics with their ads.

If you are not sure about what you need to do to place an ad, please read the rules posted at the top of each classified section.

You can also check out the Turkey Call Classifieds, as the callmakers do an OUTSTANDING job of posting pics, prices, shipping cost, etc.  THANK YOU CALLMAKERS.

If you do not know how to post pics or cannot post pics you can always pm me and I'll be glad to help, or click the following links. 

Thank you.

For those of you who don't know CASH is in charge of the classifieds - You need to give him a big thanks for a job well done

People have been utilizing the classifieds here for almost 4 years and it has proved to be very beneficial especially to the callmakers who sell loads of calls each year - Bob takes time to take care of you guys and make sure the threads are organized , sold gets moved to sold etc...He is very patient and organized we are all  lucky to have him help us -In the next few months calls will be flying of the classifieds, for the callmakers you should be grateful for Bobs time  

Internet forums have issues with classified adds , and our site is no different - The big problem from forums is that scam artists {usually very low post members } come in here and try to to a quick booty call and sell product they actually don't have - you are parted with your money , and they are long gone - Ive seen it 2 times in the Guns Classifieds , and I had to shake down the member{s} both times real hard to get the product or money back - we were lucky both times -

I've never had a issue with the Calls section cause the call makers out there know my" pimp game is strong" and it will result in a immediate and permanent banning  .

We have been patiently asking and requesting that members follow the guidelines to POST A PICTURE of the item , and a firm price . Time and time again most of the issues are with very low post members coming in and ignoring all the rules , and just going in and posting up what they feel is okay - most of this activity is in the gun classifieds and regular classifieds section , this time last rear I nearly made some changes to those areas requiring a certain amount of posts to even view the guns or regular classifieds { calls not included} this would remedy that situation for good , that may happen soon, cause this is the time of year , I get Mr. 2 posts selling  cases of "Old White" Hevi Shot , and Star Dot chokes with no picture - we send pm's and end up eating up our time -

Please make sure you follow the guidelines , and don't buy from people you don't trust

Best Regards--Shannon

I know as a call maker the opportunity to post pics is a valuable tool for me and for the buyer as well, anyone would be silly to buy a call sight unseen, I know I wouldn't. Cash is doing a super great job, but we don't need to be overworking him, it's getting too close to Spring.....he'll need his rest to carry that big Ol' Tom out of the woods.... :turkey2:
