I have noticed a posting on the swapmeet page that I have some interest in, when I have tried to use the reply function I am told that i do not have enough privileges to proceed.

What special privileges do I need? and how do i get them?

Thanks Geoff

Because in the past folks liked to make comments on pricing that was not constructive. One of those things where it was used and abused so it went away.

No chit chat. If you are interested enough start a conversation with the seller.
If you are not that interested then no one’s time is wasted on tire kicking. It’s the most perfect way of running a selling page. I have stuff listed and I really like this format.

Ah...ha, thank you Actionyobbo, Brian and Uncle Buck. I should have thought of that myself.

All makes sense to me now.
