I just got back to using RCU after a few months off and notice private posts in the buy sell ads. I thought the purpose of a thread style ad was to give information and answer questions about the product for sale. In most cases someone would ask a question and the answer would assist many with their buying decision. If someone wants to ask a private question they have the option of an email or a PM. If they are making a private offer on the item for sale they can use the offer button.

What is the purpose of a private post in an informational buy sell setting? I would like to see this private post option discontinued.

Comments anyone.
