I didn't realize that "finding auctions or selling product at a good price" had anything to do with this thread's subject.
Specifically, it doesn't, but my comment was aimed at the general spoon-feeding of new members who .... IMO....
need to learn how to do research on their own in many regards and more specifically on finding information which has already been published in the threads of this forum (or for that matter on other places on the internet).
To disregard the fact that we learn better by actually "doing for ouselves" is to invite questions in any number of threads, to wit:
"I have a day off tomorrow and was wondering if anyone could tell me about auctions in Podunk, KY where I might be able to get a lkr for the $50 I have?"
or
"Once I buy a locker, what do I do next?"
or
"Do I have to bring my own lock?"

IMO a worthwhile SECTION to open in the forum would be one that Drew never followed up on and that would be:
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)....check this section for any newbie questions you might have.*******
And finally, if "we" played strictly by the "rules" to keep a thread on topic, half the posts in half the threads in the forum would have to be re-located. smile. (actually, that has never been the case here...staying on topic)

Edit: Realizing that some may think an FAQ is in itself "spoon-feeding" I would say, yes, but if we are going to do it anyway, it might as well be in one place and with the frequently asked questions already answered. All they have to do is read the FAQ and it will cut down on the repeated asking of the same questions.
If the FAQ SECTION allowed them (or us) to add suggestions for further questions to be placed there, so much the better. Those posts could be deleted as the question they pose is added to the FAQ. The goal is to make a "one stop" shop for FAQ.
