I admit it, I lost my temper
and against my better judgement, posted in the Craigslist ongoing fray:
New Anchorage CL rules - $1 (Alaska)

Ok, got it!! Farm machinery is not allowed, because farm machinery come from *farms*, and you know, farms are *businesses*. After all, our wealthy farmers here are all big AgriBiz!
But lights for growing are okay, and so are pots to put your starts in. But you can't sell or share or give away your excess plantings!
Any livestock animal, as defined by the USDA is strictly forbidden to be sold, traded, leased, or given away. On this list, you may not sell for meat, either! Therefore, you own it, you feed it, and don't even *think* about trying to find a new home, period!
No fleeces from sheep, no hair from goats, nor a single egg may be sold. Those are "parts" of animals that are not in "packaging", therefore, against the Anchorage TOU.
Most specifically, you must NOT post that you have hay, or grain either, since these are not "packaged" according to the Anchorage TOU either. Even if you have extra and you are sure someone else could *really* use it, too bad! Not acceptable!
No firewood even if you are freezing, either-got that?
In short, here are the allowable items: Growing equipment (limited to lights and timers and ballasts, etc), pots and trays.
Snow blowers-sometimes.
Hand implements, miscellansoue tools not easily identified as possibly being able to generate a dollars' worth of income to someone.
Books (sometimes)
No websites of any kind, no announcements of any kind, and most especially, no farm or ranch names, and you better not have a well known phone number either!
Please feel free to expand on this list, I am sure to have missed a bunch! In other words, this Farm & Garden is useless for almost everyone. No wonder Alaska s List is doing so well!!
Farg, what a bunch of carp! I swear only a few ads stay up every day, absolutely everything is being flagged off-everything :( It is petty, stupid, and vicious, and it does NOT serve the community in any way. Like I said above-no wonder Alaskaslist is doing great!

WOW ! so can you sell weed?
I would have lost my manners a long time ago ,you have done well . Give em hell!
I am not sure that anything other than something manmade, would pass the sniff test with the resident TOU monitors, lol Seriously, if you scroll down and check other days, you will see just a couple ads left up for each day. When in fact, dozens are posted-and then promptly flagged off.
Its like a bunch of folks are on a power trip, giddy that they can help get rid of them all or something.
Whatever. I can't believe I gave in to the temptation, but I did! It's been day after day of indiscriminate flagging.....
I bet they are all just a bunch of pot smokers, hence grow lights are legal to sell! No, wait, more like dealers, they don't want any competition.
