kniclander Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 i think you have to have 10 posts to buy/ sell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I wasn't aware of a min no of posts for a pm, there's certainly one for selling etc - 50.why not add a comment to the thread that you'd like to buy or discuss further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Welcome to SGL.I've just sent you a PM. If you get it, see if you can reply to it.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brantuk Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi Mic and welcome to the group You should be able to post by now as you joined 4 days ago. There is allways a slight delay from the time you answer the confirmation email (usually around 24-36 hrs). My g/f joined recently and that's how long she waited. Post a reply to the person you want to buy from and send a pm as well - it should work. You'll need 50 posts before you can sell an item though. Towards this you can post advice or questions, or welcome people to the group. It is also usual to post a brief intro in the welcome section as well. You'll soon reach 50.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeP Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I received a reply from micp, so he seems to be able to PM now.Looks like he's also bagged the scope he was after. I suggested he might like to post again and introduce himself.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazOC Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Its 50 now, it was too easy for people to spam 10 posts and then doing nothing on SGL but sell gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 do i just keep posting meanless post just to get privileges ?thanksNO you join in with the SGL discussions, you share your experiences and offer help and advice, that way you become a part of what is SGL. Why should someone just expect to get access to one of the most popular for sale forums when that person has not participated and earned that priveledge.

ampleamp Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hi micp,welcome from a newbie here; the 50 posts rule is a little frustrating as you can't register any interest on a thread until you hit 50, also it is one pm every 10mins; so be it, thats the way it is. This forum is more than generous compared to some (hifi related). All i can say is work your way up to it, i am, although i am in buying mode, not selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
