I'm looking for a particular model of a used PRS. I've been searching the usual sites with no success so far. It occurred to me that some members here might know of a local shop selling one, or even a person selling one in their locale who may be willing to ship. After all, this forum is full of PRS enthusiasts.

Would it be against forum rules if I created a post asking members to keep their eyes open for this particular model for sale, and point me to that seller or retailer? It wouldn't be a blatant "Wanted to buy" post but I suppose it's along the same lines.

I don't want to violate the rules or cause an inconvenience for the moderators (and I don't wanna get yelled at, haha). Thought I'd ask before posting...:)
 
Be dilligent , I look every day . There are some rare birds that only crop up once in a blue moon , like Walnut LTDs, Santana Semi Hollows, various anni and Experience models etc .. you have to move QUIK when they come up.

You could ask members their opinions and recommendations on them, alternatives etc ..one never knows what that turns up ....
 
As long you don't share the model, nobody couldn't help.
As a second step, I recommend further activities must be executed via PM by your volunteering detectives.
And I bet the one or the other PRS has been sold second hand by using PM among and between forum members, too.
 
Oh man...I made a post like this a while back in search of a particular model, had absolutely no idea it was against forum rules. Noted now, though!

I never had any luck finding what I was looking for, but in any case, it's good to know!

Thanks!
It most likely was missed by the mod staff.

It's not the end of the world, but now y'all know the rules...
 
The "rules" are likely all about the phrasing :)
Sing the models praises , post pics of the model , talk about how you wish PRS would make that model again :)
Talk about how you missed out on getting a new one and how hard they are to find.
Folks will get the idea and no rules broken.
 
Going back and reading the rules, all it definitively says is:

"4. Dealers, Distributors and Forum Member Sales

The PRS Forum is an information and communication site only. Please do not post items for sale or discuss retail or wholesale pricing of any kind. If you'd like to post a classified ad, there are many established websites and forums that support gear sales."

To me, this reads no classified ads (i.e. don't come and sell your guitars here, unless you're an authorized PRS dealer) and don't discuss pricing. If directing somebody to a model their searching for in the used market is against the rules, then adding that to this verbiage would help eliminate any confusion.

It's skating the WTB classifieds type post that would be a violation.
