The classified forum is here only as a service for members, it is not the primary purpose of the site so there are restrictions, as OM states. If you are anxious to sell something, try eBay or Craigslist. I've used both for selling and buying outdoor gear. In fact, I just picked up a pair of snowshoes today that I saw on Craigslist. I've bought all kinds of gear on eBay-tent, stove, compass, parka, pack, a few other things I can't recall at the moment and on Craigslist, I found the snowshoes, a GPSr, a down bag and other stuff. The prices tend to be better on Craigslist for buying things, but the selection is less unless you search all over the place and that is tedious now that Craigslist has shut down the Craigslist Reader by threatening the program developer with a lawsuit. A stupid move in my opinion, but that's another story.

I've bought and sold a couple of things here as well.
