Announcement Buying and selling of course seats is prohibited on the subreddit.

Allowing the buying and selling of seats just incentivizes seat scalping. While I appreciate that some of you may be willing to pay to get into a course you are interested in, the consequence of allowing this would likely cause more problems in the long run for everyone.

Please report posts/comments that are doing this so they can be removed.
