    I am in a similar position. A novice, no gun, able to read about other, but not able to actually purchase (on this site) the equipment to get started!

    So the obvious answer is to litter threads with trivial comments to get the post numbers up?

    Or you could think outside the box and introduce yourself, answer any replies your introduction gets, maybe add a post to a thread that interests you, ask for opinions on what you might think of buying, there are many ways to achieve the post count required.

    The choice is only limited by your imagination.

    Delta1 - apologies if that came across as provocative, it was not intended to be, but it is an issue that make this forum a little less useful for a newbie than some of the others.

    I have actually done the introduction thing.

    I do fully appreciate the purpose of the restriction - although some other forum stop new members selling, they do not limit them buying.

    I do use the search facilities on the various forum, and most of my questions have already been answered. And very useful it has proved.

    I will ask questions when I want to, and provide answer if I am qualified to do so.

    Likewise, I hope my reaction did not appear harsh.

    We have many visitors, some make a dash for sales, some contribute and teach us.

    It its sometimes really easy to judge wrongly.

    Hope you enjoy your stay here, and its a mutually beneficial one.

    I am wondering what the actual post count required to be allowed access to the fabled sales section is. As I said above, I have going on 1300 posts on the board and I've never seen the sales section. Do I need to get 2000 perhaps.

    The newish member that started this says he's looking for air pistols. I have a few I want to sell as I don't use them but how and where do I get onto the sales?

    Looked at the forum rules as suggested above and it says I need to have my home town on the profile. Yep. That's been there for years. What else do I need? Do I have to bribe a particular mod with a bag of jelly babies or something?!!!!

    Love to know what to do.

    Your access was revoked 2009 as your location was then "Gloucestershire" (not a town) according to our records.

    As its now a town, you should now find Sales below readers wives.

    Ahh! Thank's for that mate.

    Only problem is the Reader's Wives section has gone now.
