As a Sydney-sider I come here because the NSW forums are essentially dead. As a result I find it a bit weird when people say that the way forward on Chocky is less activity here.

I also don't see how people selling equipment to other members of our community is a bad thing. If anything this is a beneficial thing for our community. The avenues for buying gear in Australia is already pretty limited, and a bit of choice is always a nice thing (as is the opportunity for a bargain). And the fact that buying and selling has its own forum means that it's not in your face - those that are interested can go looking for it, those that aren't can steer clear.

And most of the posts here don't fit the label of spam anyway. They are specifically directed at members of this community. Spam for me tends to simply advertise something for sale on another site (eg "Here's a link to my ebay sale of cams. Bid on it with everyone else in the world.") Sales here tend to me much more personable, where you negotiate a sale with someone by PM or direct email - this to me is not spammy.
