Chiff and Fipple Forums

I'm curious about your use of the CP: (commercial post) in your subject, vs. only the FS: (For Sale) and/or FT: (For Trade) more commonly used, but that you used in your UIE posting. Does this mean you are a commercial business, rather than an individual? It would certainly explain why so many of your posts on C&F are selling instruments. Do you have a retail or online shop?

Come to think of it, have you ever made any other contribution to the forums beyond For Sale or Wanted to Buy posts?

I don't know the seller but I want to add that I purchased a used Sindt high D from Zieldritch awhile back. The interaction was very positive. Money changed accounts and the whistle was promptly sent and received in good order. Very interesting collection he is selling!

My understanding of "CP" was cross post - https://www.allacronyms.com/CP/Cross-Posting, perhaps not the use of the abbreviation on this forum.

I buy and sell, collect and trade. Always in search of my ideal whistles. Feel free to message me privately if you would like to discuss the Copeland whistle sale.

Here "CP" is for Commercial Posting—someone in the business of buying and selling, not the occasional sale. See item #7 in the C&F CCMP at viewtopic.php?f=2&t=84192

Per OP request, the "CP" in the thread title has been corrected to "Crosspost". Everyone should be on the same page now.

A textbook example as to why everyone should read the CCCP (thanks, Steve ), or at least consult it from time to time, because if you have a question about how things work at C&F, odds are very high indeed that it's already covered there; a lot of hard experience over time has gone into it, so it is not generic, but a resource very specific to this site. As has been demonstrated, we don't necessarily do things the same way as elsewhere on the Web - nor at this late juncture do we intend to start - so think of it as CYA. And as everyone knows, CYA is a survival skill.
