I recently stumbled across this question: What should I look for in a jump rope?, which was given 2 up-votes and reasonable answers.
Should this be closed as a shopping question?

Should this be closed as a shopping question?
Looks like there are no close votes on it, so no.
This is not a purchase recommendation question; it asks what qualities one should look for in a piece of equipment.
FrederickD's answer (the best one so far) doesn't even mention a particular product in the answer.
What constitutes shopping questions?
Here are some examples.
- My current office chair makes back ache: "can you recommend any brand or even a specific chair?"
- Ginseng supplement recommendation: "Could you recommend some ginseng supplement [...]"
- https://fitness.stackexchange.com/questions/6986/usn-100-whey-protein: "Just wondering if anyone has tried or know about USN's 100% whey protein?"
- https://fitness.stackexchange.com/questions/6095/does-a-rowing-machine-exist-that-is-both-compact-and-reliable: "Does anyone know of a rower that is small but can be used every day providing good resistance? I would be willing to pay for this!"

@K.L. It's true that I don't visit this site anymore, but your comment popped up in my stack exchange header bar. The question was closed after the edit to its current form. And I really don't care enough to do something like that.– masonkCommented Mar 22, 2013 at 0:38
