I post regularly on two sites, this one and the other one. I initially joined both sites to sell stuff, believe it or not.

I had thousands of dollars in tackle I amassed over the years and wanted to unload it all, which I did. Over time I met alot of guys from both sites and made a lot of friends, which was a much bigger dividend for me than simply joining the site to sell stuff.

Also, the BST rules have necessarily changed a bit as more people are visiting sites just to buy and sell, thus the number of issues related to buying and selling have increased since I joined in 2003.

Over time I got more involved, but I still view the BST as a reason to visit, meaning if you're a fisherman you're always looking for discount tackle deals if you're like me.

As long as the people selling stuff aren't getting carried away, I wouldn't do anything...perhaps they'll become regular contibutors over time. The amount of buying and selling here isn't that great, so I'd leave it alone but monitor for signs of abuse.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
