| I'm not sure what the best C trumpet mouthpiece is but the 3 absolute WORST mouthpieces I have ever played were a Curry 1HBC, a Curry 1.25C and a Parke Markelo 670-300-24. They are awful mouthpieces and nobody should ever buy them! |

I'd ESPECIALLY caution anyone from buying these second hand on the marketplace!

Look, there is nothing wrong with being a bit cautious when buying gear on the internet (or this site) but I don't think you need to give someone a hard time for getting in the 5 posts needed to post in the marketplace.
I personally read and used this site for quite a while before posting. Just make contact if you are interested in what someone has for sale and use some common sense. Best of luck to the new member.
FY!: you may want to delete your "5 post wonder" ad from the marketplace as comments should stay in the forums...you'll get less haters that way |

This may be true, to some extent, but there's an element of goodwill.
If you've spent some time formulating an interesting question and had a decent discussion around it (and maybe wound up on 6 or 7 posts in the course of the discussion) then you're going to generate a lot less heat when you post an ad..
If, on the other hand, you post garbage one-line posts/threads that clearly took you all of 5 seconds to write, show no interest in actually interacting with the community, don't reply to any replies to your posts... and then post an ad and disappear off the face of the earth?
Yep, expect to get slated.
You can usually tell by the 5th post whether someone is posting to get marketplace privileges or whether they're actually interested in the discussion.
Although the snarky responses to some posters are a little unseemly, they're just an expression of the frustration that lot's of us feel.
The problem is that it probably looks bad to outsiders or lurkers trying to decide whether to post, and it may not immediately be obvious to these people that this is a snarky response to people abusing the system, and that it isn't really an overly hostile forum. |

Many of us that began posting when we first joined and had no interest in selling in the Marketplace. At some point, we hit no. 5. Does that make us automatically disingenuous? Or maybe "bwoodard" has some suggestions on the proper language or form for magical post no. 5 so that no one will assume it is nothing more than a sham in order to post in the Marketplace. |

It's more the content of those first 5.
If you see 5 one sentence posts that either add nothing to the discussion or appear to be only tangentially related at all... chances are that person isn't posting to be involved, they're posting to boost post count.
If you see a person post 5 new threads, all with 1 sentence opening posts (often several on the same subforum), the chances are they're probably not there for the discussion.
Chances are, in both the above cases, those 5 posts are done within a day or two - a more genuine poster would simply post when they had something valid to add (or something they felt they disagreed with) or had a serious question they wanted answers to and would probably post followups.
It's not about getting to 5, it's when someone is clearly posting trash purely for postcount - sometimes it's very, very obvious. |

Maybe, I am just a half glass full kind of guy. I did not read the OP's first 4 posts. But although short, post no. 5 was a specific question and to the point. For those who live near "Dismal Seepage, Nebraska", they may not have anywhere else but the internet to get answers to their questions. I guess some of us could asked the question in 1500 words or more and submit as a Master's thesis. but I would venture to say that each and every one of us at some point, had to find out for the first time what mouthpiece one should try on a C trumpet.
And even if this was simply a ploy to be able to list something in the Marketplace, so what. If you don't like the question, ignore it and move on. |
