odd forum

I just got a message saying to post for sale parts in the marketplace, but I cannot post in the marketplace until I post a lot of threads... is that right?
weird!

That's correct. It's the rules. You need 250 posts

No, that's clearly stated in the FAQ/Rules.

The following forums have a minimum post count requirement:

Marketplace

Only users with a history of 250 posts (user title 6502 or higher) and membership for at least 6 months can access the Marketplace forum. Only users with a history of 100 posts can post in the Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum. If you start a "for sale" thread or political thread in another forum to avoid this rule, your thread will be deleted. Once you reach 100 or 250 posts, you may not immediately be able to post in these forums. The privilege is added automatically when the forum system does routine processing, so check again in a few hours. The delay is normal, so please do not contact us to report it as a problem on the same day that you reach 100 or 250 posts. When you first gain access to the Marketplace forum, you will see it in the Community section of the forums.
