    Should we have a 'For Sale/Wanted' section of the forum?

    I realise I have not been on the forum for long but I thought i'd ask the Question? Does the Forum Need/Want a For Sale & Wanted section? I'm currently looking for tools etc etc on a budget as i'm sure a lot of other people are so maybe this will be a benefit. Love Alan
