There is a thread for ebay/craigslist finds … would a “local bicycle cooperative find” be allowed on that thread or is the C&V marketplace sub thread required? Thanks!
you are pretty much asking about blatantly violating "rule 7", which someone did a few months back and really ruffled the mods' feathers.

7. This is for personal items. “Personal” is defined as belonging solely to the advertising member. Items intended to be sold on behalf of other individuals, bicycle stores, co-ops, and similar instances are prohibited. If you want to advertise sales for a company, store, or co-op, you must become a sponsor.
i would advise against posting the stuff you want to sell in the 'at the co-op' thread. selling things in that thread is not the intent of the thread.
perhaps a direct pm to the moderating staff would be a better way to go, as they can give you a clearer definition on how to proceed.
