Seems to me that we can already. Simple putting things for sale in the Machinery section seems to do that. As was just stated, the rules were defined to make the Ask the Cuemaker just that, not as a sales forum. I agree about not wanting or having the time to go through the whole For Sale section every day. But the same can happen in the Ask the Cuemaker section at times. A thread can be pushed to the next page in a hurry some days. The Machinery section seems to go much slower and it hardly seems a stretch to include wood or pins or whatever along with lathe parts or leather wrap fixtures.
I for one have complained to Wilson about cuemakers selling in the Gallery as it seems to go against the intent. He said there was no specifics for posting so it was OK. I think it's like watching a couple kiss in public - Get A Room. Although it is fun to be a voyeur at times I for one don't want to watch you sell your unfinished cues, sometimes not even started cues but bare wood on the cue forum. If I want to see what you have than I will go to your website and look. We all use this forum as a way to get seen, to make sales and to just get in the public eye. If we all posted wood or just started cues then how long would you have to spend making sure it got bumped so it could be seen. The For Sale section seems to be the right place to try and make these sales but maybe that's just me.
Let me get this straight. Basically, you get offended if somebody shows an unfinished cue in the CUE GALLERY. You get offended if somebody shows a beautiful peice of wood & asks if anybody would like a cue from it. You get offended when a cuemaker enters the "ask the cuemaker" forum & asks if any cuemaker wants to buy his surplus materials. You get offended when somebody comes into the ask the cuemaker forum asking for help & a cuemaker responds with a fix & how much that fix will cost. You actually care so much about this petty crap that you privately contact the mods, requesting a change. And you believe every cuemaker here is here to be seen, make sales & get in the public eye.
Is this a good summary of your point? It sure seems to be, and I hope it's not.
