I saw we had a new member join advertising a car. I noticed no Gold whatsit next to the username and pondered how they were able to have advertsied a car without paying.

Then I checked the membership section and realised you don't have to have paid for membership to advertsise vehicles.

Do people believe this should remain so?

    I suppose it could work both ways, if no then are we going to miss out on sum bargains? Then again a £5 membership to advertise a car on a forum that specialises in these cars is a good deal.

    Given that it doesn't happen very often, and its not as if those who have paid are suffering at the hands of these adverts, I think it should stay.

    If I had GTi-6, or a Cosworth or a Caterham for sale, I would want to target those enthusiats. Similarly, If I wanted one of those cars, I would probably look on a specialist forum to find one for sale.

    Win Win.

    Until such time is its hurting paid members sales, I see no harm

    Like i said it works both ways but £5 to advertise a car for an unlimited time is peanuts

    I think it's fine as long as it's a 6/rallye. It would be good to keep these cars in the club.

    Unless they post a phone number, they can't respond to potential buyers.

    And if they post a phone number there's a very real risk Soulman will get wasted and phone them, I'd say that £5 to negate that risk is peanuts.

    Someone's got too much time on their hands and is nitpicking.

    There's an email button on all classified adverts, along with the PM button for contacting paid members, plus contact details can be included in the description if required.

    Non-paid members can post classified adverts because it was felt that, on balance, it's beneficial to allow one classified advert for non-paid members as people are likely to want to offer these cars for sale on enthusiast forums which is ultimately a benefit to the club as a whole.
