Color Earth 5 Posted March 1, 2022 I'm new to the community. I'm sure you've heard this before, but navigating how to get a classified posted has been a challenge. It's cool to see everything that this site offers and I'm excited to be a part of it...but trying to sell underwater gear was why I initially came and there just isn't obvious "START HERE" instructions to get set up and get going. Through the forums I've deduced that we have to post 3 times? Would this count as one post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamhanlon 0 Posted March 1, 2022 @Color Earth The short answer is that you have to be prepared to read! It is also on the email you were sent when you registered. Ultimately, being able to buy and sell on the Wetpixel Classifieds is for active members to recycle their used gear. Our community consists of numerous individuals that generously and selflessly share their knowledge and skills for the benefit of the community. As you mention that your goal in joining our community was solely to offload your user gear, may I suggest that there are other venues (like eBay) that may be more appropriate for you. I have hidden your for sale post, but will unhide it if you show that you are wiling to share your knowledge and experience with our community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kraken de Mabini 168 Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Adam Hanlon has posted some rules here: "Changes to Classifieds Forum-please read!" they are a good starting point. After reading them, you might post some of your underwater photos of fish and other interesting creatures you have met during your recent dives, with your comments and/or queries about how to improve u.w. photos or address technical problems.

Color Earth 5 Posted March 1, 2022 As I mentioned, it was my INITIAL goal, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the resources available in this community so I'm absolutely on-board to help and get involved any way I can. I posted my reel and I'll add feedback wherever I can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Color Earth 5 Posted March 1, 2022 I posted a couple new topics and tried to find some questions that I could assist with, but I don't see anything with the rigs I'm using that hasn't already been properly answered. I hope I'm not overstepping, just want to show that I'm in this more than to shop gear (I rarely sell underwater gear to be honest). This is probably the best networking I've seen so far in the underwater shooter department. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really trying to find ways to give input wherever/whenever I can. Can you give me an idea of how long I'll be on probation? I would like to try and sell this Nauticam rig sooner than later...rest assured I will remain active before and after (I'm finding that these are my people). Also would it be possible to list the ad at the top again when it's no longer hidden or will it come back buried under all the new ads? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
