Ok, this is wierd. It says that my post "Anyone need...?" is the latest that someone replied to, yet it isn't showing up in the forum, and it is telling me that I don't have access to this forum when I click on it. What gives?
All I did was offer up a few kits for trade... is that so wrong?!

The post was removed because of the Kalmbach policy to not allow the buying, selling, or trading of items on any of our websites that have a forums area. There are many factors involved in the policy but it is at least partially due to the fact that allowing buying, selling, and trading would be a disservice to the online banner, buttton, and classified advertisers that help make this site possible.

I'm also a member of (2) slot car web forums, both of which are supported by advertisers. Both boards allow, with the advertisers blessing, For Sale/Want Ads. The only stipulation is that the sites not be used, (I'm pasting in the rules):
This board is for individuals looking to purchase, sell or trade used or hard to find items. This is not a place to dump New merchandise, which severely undercuts the sponsors of this site. Thank you for your cooperation.
As far as we can tell, this is pretty much followed. Anyone who violates, we ignore, let the moderator know, and "poof!" their gone.
So
cobra wants to give a kit away? Might have been going to someone who wasn't going to spend money in the near future at a LHS.
So I want to buy a long out of production kit(s) that no LHS or website has? Can't see that hurting any advertiser. They won't have the product to begin with.
I think KALMBACH should revisit this policy. And if any advertisers complain, maybe let us know, so we can be better informed consumers.
