I think it is interesting seeing a different take on the forum through the eyes of a new member and, I am sure, the comments made are constructive and should be considered.

That said my own opinion is the same as others here. I see no need for change as it is easy to ignore for sale threads or skip them quickly if opened inadvertently.

Furthermore I like the overriding "all things collectable" idea which includes sales.

Finally I'd like to re-emphasise that I think the OP was being constructive and hope he stays and enjoys his time here.
