One dealer pushed for a 'for sale' section. Then got pissed off and pulled all his posts and disappeared.
We get contributing members who put stuff up. But mostly we get dorks who have no interest in the forum trying to unload overpriced 'treasures' or shit you can buy anytime on ebay or craigslist.
So yeah ... fucking right
'make it stop'

This would encourage honest business transactions and discourage the disrespectful, dishonest, self-promoting posturing and trolling that gets empowered by anonymity.
