That is exactly how I read it. Individuals representing themselves remain free to list their items in the For Sale section of the site. However, as this “is not a public commercial market place… commercial entities are not allowed to post items for sale unless they are an authorized Alembic dealer."
We can still post interesting deals that we see on the net from commercial organizations in the “Seen on Craigslist, Ebay and Elsewhere section.”
Thank you moderators. I’ve always seen the For Sale section as Alembic People trading or selling to Alembic People. The Alembic dealers I know and respect, for example, Will Gunn, avoid posting in this section even though theoretically they could on the basis of what the moderators have stated. Respecting this policy will continue to make the transactions that take place within this section between Alembic lovers as opposed to organizations that exist to make a profit. It’s certainly not perfect as we have had people who work for commercial entities post here in the past posing as individuals but between our moderators and the sharpe eyes of members, they eventually seem to get found out.
