So, it's just a way to save space on Mike's site and make less money come out of his pocket. Mike, I think you have the best forum of all that I have seen. It's clean, funny, informative, and a great connection between generous rc-heads (like myself) and can also be a good spot to blow off some steam or ask stupid questions. We're all like a big family here, and Mike is our elder (or principal if you like to think of RC-M as a school.) We have to respect him as he is god to most of us (including myself) and our support puts food on Mike's table. Mike, thank you for creating the best forum on the web, and thank you to whoever had the paitence to read this long post.

This is my last comment on the subject and I quit because apparently no one understands what I am saying here...
Leave the threads as they are, locked and in the general section, but allow the person to put their asking price in the description. If you see something you are interested in you then take it up with the seller in a PM. I never said the thread shouldn't be locked or anything like that. All I asked was why a price couldn't be listed in the description. I've seen answers and opinions from everyone except Mike... just because I have a low post count doesn't mean I don't support Mike, I have bought my share of things from him in the past (look at what year I joined here). If he comes here and says "because I say so" then so be it. I just didn't think a price listed in a post was bad thing. And if my question was stupid I apologize to you the Almighty internet forum God...
