Is posting GLWS ( Good Luck With Sale ) on Sales post Bad?
tonylong ...winded  More info | May 15, 2011 21:11 | #2 Hmm -- since GLWS is an acronym associated with selling, I'd suggest you not assume that we are familiar with the term. Rather than forcing people to have to Google the definition, please edit your post and spell out the meaning! Tony

Now, it's just a question as to whether this section will get views by folks that will have an opinion about this, or maybe some other section. I don't have a clue, but maybe a mod will see this and have a proper response... Tony

May 15, 2011 21:45 | #6 Well it's just that I know how hard it is to sell gear at the price you really want to sell it at, and I believe if I give out good Karma to the other sales, then maybe, just maybe, someone will come around and do the same for me.

Any post that is not a response to buy the item offered is considered to be Off topic Chit Chat. Bless the recently fallen and their family and friends.

I particularly agree with that - unless somebody is interested in buying an item, I don't understand what right anybody else has to interfere. David

David Well, I would say close to 50% of the posts in the sell forum are GLWS or I wish I had the money or something else that has nothing to do with the item for sale. It is usually the same members that do it on almost every item posted.

Or folks who can't pass through a single thread without posting some inane blurb? *cough*

Then again, what do I know... I'm off lining my cage with newspaper.
