COME ON SOMEONE BUY MY CRAPPY PARTS!

If someone says in their ad, "I've got a tested 059 ECU for sale," what good is a photo? I've got 6 or 7 bad ones that look just as good, if not better than the good ones I have. Plus, I don't see how it's negative reinforcement to purchase something you need from someone who has it. I post pictures, but that's me. Of the number of things I've purchased for substantial sums of money without seeing a photo, I don't think I've been dissatisfied. I don't expect perfection. Photographs aren't the solution to everything either. You can hide a lot in plain sight. Photographs can give you a false sense of security, so they shouldn't be relied upon solely to give an accurate representation of the item for sale.

Sure, it would be great to have people say things like, "There's a 99% chance this item will not give you AIDS" instead of "bump," but there are only so many things you can say about a rectal thermometer.

What do you want to do next? Require that everyone who responds to an ad posts to that effect? How would you even enforce that? Transparency like that is only seen in the Obama Administration.

I don't see the point in regulating the For Sale/Wanted subforums. Everyone has a different way of doing things and some are more successful than others.

I don't see the Beamters running out to make changes, and I don't think they should, but if they want to, I'm sure whatever they have in mind would contribute to the ease-of-use of MyE28.com.

I think it is important, if not critical, to see photos of the staff of Phyver Industries when the company is selling parts. It makes me feel good that I am supporting a great company that is committed to its people and the community . . . .

as a neophyte can someone define for me: "bump"? i see it all the time and it seems to never be used the same way, twice.

seriously

"bump" is just something to post to "bump" the thread to the top of the page.

It's new again. Too bad it was moved from the FS/WTB forum.

It was moved because it is a comment as to the operation of mye28.com and not an actual item or service for sale.
