The reason behind the rule is...
If you allow ads in the various areas, people will post what they have for sale in every single forum, so you'll see the same thign for sale, everywhere.
Also, the questions and comments about trucks will be dwarfed by people selling things.
There are other forums I have visited that allow selling stuff posts and questions posts all in the same area... 90 percent of it is stuff for sale, it's nuts, ya can't wade through to find the interesting stuff.
So, the Editors of the 'Bolt, long ago decided the selling, swapping and buying would be done in a
separate area.
So, when you want to sell stuff, go to the Swap Meet area.
If people are looking for stuff, they go to the swap meet area.
I've found lots of stuff for my truck over there.
Ya'll should check it out regularly.
