Chill out guys. Everyone seems to be getting a bit hot under the collar about this.
The idea of a template is great. We will work on this approach.
We will not be restricting sales to only commercial guys and forcing members to put up eBay links only. Won't happen.
I get the sense that due to a few peoples bad experiences, everyone is being tarnished with the same brush. Hundreds of machines have been sold on AP to very happy customers. Let's not get carried away with 1 or 2 bad outcomes. These incidents can never be prevented I'm afraid. If you try to stop it on AP then it will still happen somewhere else. How does that help the hobby? If the seller wishes to misrepresent a machine then they will pay in the long run.
The checklist approach is a good one. It gives the buyer some assurance about the quality of the machine being sold. This allows them to approach the sale with as much info as possible and to go in with eyes wide open.
