Can you stipulate all classified negotiations to be public?

Can I suggest considering the above for the classified forums? There are lots of 'you have PM' messages that don't make clear whether a sale was agreed or not and leave the agreed deal under question if it all goes wrong. Another forum I use (AVFORUMS.COM) stipulate that all questions, answers and negotiations must be completed in the thread until a sale is agreed when it can move to PM to share private details.

sounds like your chasing a problem that doesn't exist? I've not had a problem with this, just avoids all that (slightly tacky) price negotiations in public? In the end it's the sellers prerogative who they sell to?
