If RCU were to do the right thing, there should be vote on whether to provide the option of private posts when asking about an item for sale. From speaking to people in the RCU community, they all think it is a "Dumb" idea to have these private posts. There is more value in being able to read the posts. If you want to want to make the post private, then don't post the private message at all. That way we would never know whether there was a private post. I keep reading, "This is no different from how it was done before." Who cares how it was done before? It's more about being able to access more information about a product for sale. I don't see RCU's logic. It should be changed.

This answer- "everyone has the right to ask a question in private. doing so is a disservice to our members and might cost you a real buyer" ....Disservice to our members? What a joke. How could it ever cost anyone a real buyer? How deep could the question be? We are all about R/C community and the sharing of questions could never be a disservice to anyone.
