Richard,

You don't want us to copy a link like I did for the combustioneer?

that's unfortunate, i think it was a very good thing to help those looking for coal burning appliances find them. It was a good benefit for new members of this site especially to be able to find second hand coal burning equiptment to get started on coal heat. although they were commercial sites, it was members of this site posting the info on an item, not some spammer pluging a site.

I never intended it to be re-listing for stoves elsewhere. Besides, be new classifieds section soon so it won't matter. ;)

As someone who has been circling and hovering mostly for want of a new or used stove, I hope you reconsider the ban on private sale links. Having people repost links to their local craigslist and what they see on EBay is a great help.

It includes starting a topic specifically to list a link for ebay or any other reseller site whether its your own or someone elses. Like I said it will be irrlelevant shortly, as for linking to your own listings once i get the classifieds installed I may consider it.

A member looking for a coal appliance could post a request, anyone knowing of equipment for sale could PM them directly. Also, someone shopping who is internet literate enough to have found this forum also should be able to find the various on-line "for sale" sites, IMO.

i don't understand the harm in it, for instance the guy was looking for a baro damper and another for a heat exchanger, the best way I could describe one was to find one on ebay from a seller with good feedback and post the link. That makes it easy, you need something here it is you can buy it today if you want. It saves a bunch of searching around.

I didn't say you couldn't do that. This is specific to the "Items for sale" forum.
