Knowing that, would you still be willing to judge and remove a listing ? These are the problems, the reality, of what CT faces. And that is exactly why CT does it the way we do it. Because bottom line, we don't have any choice but to do it that way. Any deal made, any ad posted - it's all between you and the person who responds to it. YOU have to be the one to decide, to judge if it is what they say it is, and if you are willing to buy it. YOU have to bear responsibility for your own actions - we are not going to do it for you. And if anybody there's that doesn't like it - then they don't have advertise here and they don't have to buy here.
