When was the last time anyone saw the beginners razors etc on the BST?
I would say that if you reach 100 posts and are able to access the BST, you're probably no longer looking for a beginner's razor. Even if they were posted, I doubt there'd be much interest from those who could see them

Not playing devils advocate but maybe it should be opened sooner to newbies, or has there been trouble in the past?

There was a spot of trouble a little while back, that's what caused the rule tightening IIRC. Agree with the general sentiment though, the BST has been dead since then really.

Not on your Nelly mate! Lots of trouble in the past and not only on this forum. If you send a £200 item to a newbie ,you’ll know what I mean.

Yes i understand that, but is payment not made before the item is sent?
Like i said i frequent fishing forums and have literally spent thousands on gear, had no issues buying or selling, when buying payment was made upfront and a tracking number then provided for said item.

The trouble wasn’t with sales rather than trades and sales. Unscrupulous people joined the forum and offered rare items for sale or trade for other expensive items. Once the deal was made the item never appeared leaving members high and dry with no way of recovering their cash or items.

Maybe the Buy could be visible for everyone but restricted posting, with the T hidden in a different more restricted section?

On the other forums now you cant pay by paypal gift, its normal paypal transaction and it means paying the fees but protects you somewhat.
Im happy enough to wait and feel ill be sticking around but i wouldnt mind seeing whats for sale as i am a newbie starting out.
Not looking to step on any toes or get things changed though simply for my sake.

We left the other forums due to draconian rules and overbearing mods. This place is special, it’s ours.
