Default For Sale section

Does BAUT have any form of a for sale section and/or any rules pertaining to this? I have participated in a few car forums that were very successful at allowing members to post for sale parts/cars, etc. Of course there were a few bad apples who would try and steal your money, but I would think that people on here are a bit more mature than a bunch of punk kids slinging car parts.

I just know you all have old telescopes stuffed in your attics/closets that you wouldn't mind passing off...

Why a section? Do you see the sort of volume of for-sale topics that would justify having a section?

People just post articles if they have something to sell, for instance:
For Sale 10" dob
Hubble Space Telescope for sale (just kidding)

In horse-before-the-cart style, if the volume ever becomes large, then a section might be in order to keep it organized.

I just did a search of the forum for topic titles containing "sale" and saw two for private sales of equipment in 2008. It's quiet out there.

Ok. I figured it might be something like that. When I can afford a scope, I will just make a 'wanted' post and see of anyone out there wants to dig anything up.
