"Gauging Interest"

[Myka]

It's just kinda stupid is all. Besides, half the guaging interest threads have a price listed, so wtf?

Off topic...but doesn't the word "guaging" look funny when you type it out? Or have we all been spelling it wrong? I know my puter thinks it's spelled wrong.

EDIT: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gauging Here I thought they were guages not gauges in my car...? Huh...learn something new everyday.

I'm gauging It's been Gauge as long as I have known,

because at one point there was nothing for sale on the board, it was "guaging interest" for everything, I don't see the point in it... If you want to sell a complete system, say "complete system for sale, $xxxx.xx" If you want to get xxxx.xx and not a penny less then you don't have to sell it for less. To me guaging interest means your thinking about selling something not selling, so maybe we should have a "guaging interest" section in the buy and sell area

So then you 'get it'...

People are thinking of selling something. Trying to make a decision based on response but not committing to anything. Its really quite simple and really dumb for anyone to actually care about whether the term is used or not.

Yeah I could care less personally. What harm does it cause?
