Here's a few questions:

 

Did you read the post titled "READ THIS FIRST" in this forum?

 

Did you notice the part that read "DON'T POST LINKS TO YOUR EBAY SALE"?

 

Did you register just to promote this ebay ad?

FWIW: Yes I read the "Read this first" post. Unfortunatly I had already posted the pack up on ebay. My bad. I figured I'd still put it up, losts of people seem to like these packs and they are uncommon on ebay. If you have some opposition to dealing through ebay, and you're seriously interested I'd gladly end the auction early... I don't see your name listed as moderator, am I missing something?

I use ebay to sell stuff myself ... But if I want to offer local climbers a deal I put it here first, then if there is no interest I may put it up on ebay ...

 

I don't know Off_White but hey - after almost 7k posts v. 2?

 

Have a modicum!

As I said: I had already created the ebay page before reading the rules. My mistake, my apologies.

 

My comment was not to disrespect Off_White, but rather to point out that the response to my ad was unnecessary. The ad would've faded into oblivion in a few more days anyway, now it's back on the top of the list...

 

Feel free to ask questions about the pack, make an offer, or internet yell at me for not reading the rules first ;p

Cilogear packs are great. I own a 60 for expeditions and a 40 that I use for alpine trips. Too bad this isn't a 75 liter pack, or I would probably be sucked into buying it. Best of luck with your sale, and thanks for being patient with the post police, it makes reading the posts less challenging.

 

Enjoy....

The yard sale here is just that: a tool to help other climbers sell their stuff to local folks. It's like a garage sale, not an auction. It's definitely not about promoting your highest bidder national sale. The day you registered, with your only post, you put up a link to ebay and one uninformative sentence. I found it pretty irritating and poked you.

 

I'm not a moderator in this forum, though I am in a number of others on this board. Your defense that you read the rules, but oops, decided they just didn't apply to you, is pretty weak. You could have deleted your ebay listing, you could have deleted your post here, or changed it so that you were directly selling rather than advertising for bidders.

 

I'd have been a little more polite if you were a regular poster here, like Kletterhund who posted above, but your approach read more like a spambot (a regular irritant here) than anything else, especially given your identical post at Mountainproject.com and who knows how many other sites. It's nice that you've now written enough to be a person, but I still think you ought to take down your ebay link now that it's pretty clear what the policy is here. If the sale doesn't go through there, by all means, post and ad here, this is in fact your target audience.
