"Non-Mopar Vehicles for sale" thread...rant

As far as a "minimum posts to sell" rule, I've always resisted doing that because I dont want you guys to miss out on a part thats real hard to find because the guy hadnt posted enough yet. I can tell you there are many people who come to our site who are not internet savvy whatsoever, and just want to buy or sell a part.

And I'd like to take this instance to thank you for doing so.

I was recently in need of parts for my...ahem...Brand X, but ford-trucks.com has a minimum 25 post count in place. Frustrating to say the least as the parts I needed are in limited availability as far as new vendors go or outrageously priced if I wanted to add a lift kit as the only other way to replace 'em. The price for new ones was $120+ shipping through LMC or starting at around $600 and up to $1300 as part as a lift kit. Neither was an option.

I was patient and was able to score a set from a local u-pull it salvage yard. Yet someone over on ford-trucks lost a sale as I was looking for 'em nearly a month to six weeks before I was actually able to score a set.
