... are discouraged in Drum Chat, especially as they relate to Vintage drums and drums for sale. There has been way too much abuse of this by past members that have used this forum to aide in their own private vintage drum sales. We're sorry for the inconvenience but as it often goes, the actions of a few sometimes affect the many. It's best to just avoid those discussions as the thread will probably be pulled.

The Forum Rule that applies to this currently is as follows:

Selling / Trading:
At this time, buying, selling or trading personal property is not allowed within Drum Chat, including PM's (private messaging). This includes posting links to property on eBay, Craigslist or similar websites. We also discourage posts that ask, "What is my _____ worth?" (or similar) as this is a way to get around the "no selling" rule. We also discourage heavy vintage drum discussion and links to vintage drum guides as sellers frequently use forums to mask their commercial enterprise. At the moderator's discretion, these types of posts might be removed. Anyone using this forum for commercial purpose without permission will be banned indefinitely.
