fenderfour Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Posting e-bay auctions in The Yard Sale forum sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearzen Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 Posting e-bay auctions in The Yard Sale forum sucks. But having ads for Mtn. Hardware jackets, mountain guides, Mammut ropes and Pro Mountain Sports (and dozens of other sponsors) running down the side of every page isn't a problem? I'm just a PNW climber trying to update my rack, and maybe bringing a good opp for someone else building their starter rack. It's all relative.

rbw1966 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I think the objection isn't that you are trying to sell it via cascadeclimbers but rather advertising it for sale elsewhere. I know when I see something posted here with a link to ebay I don't even bother taking a look. If you just offered it up here in the first place I don't think there would be any objections. And the advertisers you refer to (they don't show up on 'every page' when I peruse the site) are sponsors of cascadeclimbers. Are you?

gearzen Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 I would say those coming to "the yard sale" are probably already shopping for gear. Further, it's not like it's baseball or hockey gear, it's directly related to the site, and esp. to the Section it's listed under. The fact that it's available to a broader market outside of the cc.com board doesn't make it any less an opp. for someone at this site. Not going to look is your perogative, others may be in the market. And I'm not knocking sponsors, they are a necessary and vital evil of sites like this excellent one, much like the ads in guidebooks. So I'm not so much as sponsor as an athletic supporter. Peace out, dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Perhaps it is simply a bad photo, but those sure don't look like Forged Friends to me. They look like the old school Friends that are milled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us dirtbag cheap-ass climbers don't like being fooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
