I was planning on talking to Mike about this very issue.
I agree with Stephan that a for-sale post is just that, and not an open discussion of the merits of the item to be sold.
I know I would be very peeved if anyone posted in a for-sale thread of mine, placing doubts in the minds of potential buyers or prejudicing a potential sale.
If a question is asked about the item, the seller could update their thread with the relevant info.
Anyone buying equipment second hand should have researched the pros and cons of the item being offered, or can make their own thread in the equipment forums.

History has shown this not to be true. I know that Dave47tuc usually asks that people dont chatter in his for-sale threads, and it still happens. I locked his threads for that reason.
I would personally like to see the thread starter being the only one able to make a post in their own thread in the trade forum.
