I didn't read all that because it's honestly not that complicated.
I want to post something about my firearm in a "for sale" thread.
Has it been more than 24 hours: I can post and bump.
Has it been less than 24 hours: I can *still* add the information via EDITING THE ORIGINAL POST.
If I'm a buyer and have a question:
Send a PM.
Simple.
As for the OP and his gun day trader blog, why not just start ONE thread on the topic instead of a topic per gun? The people who are interested in following your buy/sell/swap activity can post in that ONE thread and the forum isn't cluttered up with a thread for every single transaction you made, thought about making, might make, have considering considering making, etc.
1. Brilliant idea, but I'd be afraid to do that now since I know I'm being watched carefully for my next flub.
2. I want to stay under the radar, till I am forgotten about before my next mistake.
