Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Another Fraud/Scam "bubby jimm"
I had this person contact me 3 times for 2 different ads, each of his e-mails said the same exact thing. When I e-mailed him back and called his "bluff" he replied back saying "i want you to give me the last price for them so i can make the payment fast ok" Keep in mind that one of my ads is for my 2005 offspring that are still in the egg!
LOL, I let him have it after that and told him I would be placing his name and e-mail address on this list.
His e-mail is bubby_jimm@yahoo.com

I got the same thing from the same person as well as another person using the same basic structure in their email:
Quote:
Hello, My name is Bruce and I will like to buy your items but I want to know if it is still available and how many of it do you have in stock and also confirm how much it is going for. Regards, Email back with this email
bruce_supplies@yahoo.com

Neither "one" responded to my reply to the email.
Unfortunately, without locking down the classifieds so that only registered members can reply to the ads, there really isn't a lot I can do about it. I don't think most people would want me to lock out visitors from being able to reply to their classified ads.
