In some small way, AA may be a victim of its own success....

Posted by Ivan303 on April 1, 2017 at 07:35:07:
in keeping commercial activity off of the various boards for so many years.

One doesn't automatically think of AA as a 'commercial' site.

Also there seems to be a bit of confusion as to if and when one is allowed to announce or discuss placing an item for sale on 'Trader'.

I've successfully sold at least one item here. I think it was successful mostly because I required the buyer be, not just a registered inmate, but one who posts regularly. With no other protections provided by AA, I'd have few qualms either buying or selling from a regular posting inmate who has been here for years.

Not at all interested in buying from the commercial riff-raff currently clogging up the pages of 'Trader' taking advantage of the free forum to sell gear as a business.
