Why post a machine for sale with no details?

Helpful hint for those who post stuff in the marketplace. When you post a machine or accessory for sale why make those interested play guessing games? Simply post a price, year, details, what it fits, and what it comes with. It will help you the seller and us the buyers.

In addition, if the machine sells tell people that and if questions get asked answer them in a timely manner. I see stuff come back up to the top that is months old with no replies to if the item is still available.

Efficiency saves time and money on both ends.

ah, but there are a lot of "not so smart" people out there. I have gone to many a trade show where the "salesman" stood in the middle of the aisle yelling: "hey , do you have a garage??" "well if you do, imagine the POTENTIAL for making a mini-fortune... just buy machine XYZ and you are ON YOUR WAY!!!" and just like fancy exercise equipment the machine ends up in the corner as a mini clothesline...... collecting dust.
These are probably many of the people who are doing what you are advising against.. they just Assume you will know how Valuable the machine is.. cause you too probably have a garage at home.
