How do you get sufficient privileges to be able to ask for information on items for sale?

Upgrade to a paid member for $15/year to post in the classifieds. Otherwise PM the seller.

You don’t need membership (ie annual fee) to reply to classifieds. You should be able to see, read and reply in the classifieds. If you are unable to, let me or another moderator know.

The paid membership allows you to create new posts in the classifieds.
I'm unable to reply or ask questions understanding was that you only had to pay to become a member to be able to post items for sale if you could help me I would would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!

I don't think that's quite right @pesqimon. I don't think you can post or reply in the classifieds without a membership. If a non-member wants to ask a question they need to PM the seller.

Could be. The rules amendment only mentioned that the classifieds would remain “viewable” so it could be that this is working as normal. I’ll get some clarification.

"Starting October 25, 2019, saddlehunter.com will be offering a membership option. For an annual fee of $15.00 users who upgrade to a "SH Member" will receive access to the classifieds. Additionally, starting in 2020 only SH Members will be permitted entry in the annual deer hunting contest. Users who do not upgrade will remain "SH Users" with access to the full site minus the classifieds and contest (in 2020). SH Users will have no classifieds access. If you do not plan on upgrading this notice serves to give you a period to wrap up your current transactions. Thank you.
**When this feature becomes active you will be provided instructions on how to upgrade, or you will be prompted to upgrade when you enter the classifieds. Paypal will be accepted and credit cards can be used through paypal."

According to @redsquirrel and this post in the announcement i took it that non members would not be able to even respond to posts

That was the original message that went out. Based on members feedback the rules were changed so that non-members could view the classifieds. If you have a question about a product simply send a PM to the member who posted it.
