JeffS raises an important point! The forums do not allow discussion of items that are for sale. Your original wording was ambiguous and could be interpreted as you requesting an opinion for a friend's item.

Please do not repeat this practice. Posting discussion of items up for sale would ordinarily draw a suspension of posting privileges for several months. I'll give you a pass this time. Please read carefully the Forum Rules (at the top of the Forum Directory page).

It is understandable to 'test the waters' before buying an item, (caveat emptor)and wise to check the expertise of others with more experience with a certain field before any transaction.

While this ploy was clever, it was unnecessary and puts the forum and its members in precarious legal position, which is not hard to figure using the common sense axioms.

It is perfectly acceptable and prudent to contact the specialized members via PM to ask these questions on 'live sales', just not publicly. Opinions expressed privately remain just that, but aired publicly become matter of record and potentially litigous.

Yep.

Sorry, I wasn't aware this wasn't allowed. It won't happen again.
