mods, classified section???

**ruben23** · 03-10-2012, 03:23 PM

anybody ever think of putting a classified section organized by region for some of the "more than scrap value" items we pick up. i think it would be pretty cool and effective. im sure people pick up a lot of old vintage stuff that some collectors would love. just a thought though.

That idea has been shot around on this site a million times and every time I have heard the response thats what craigslist is for.

ok. just figured it would be a good addition to the site

I think admin is trying to figure how it would work. I know I've been pushing for it.

i am on a subaru forum that it works great for. very organized

I like the idea but I see where it could be a problem....SCAMS, pissed off members due to not getting what they thought they were getting etc.....It would be kewl but a big headache in my opinion.

true. but mostly everybody on here knows eachother like other forums so scams usually aren't a factor

i disagree ruben23, i think that it could potentially open doors for something that this forum isn't trying to be - a marketplace. It also would leave the moderators/owners of this site vulnerable to unhappy members (buyers or sellers in this case) coming after them asking/demanding them to fix problems that arise. Or even worse - that they would be legally financially responsible to fix these issues.

The coin forum I belong to has a pretty good selling section. I have bought and sold items as little as a few dollars to a few thousand dollars.

Their Rules:

250 quality posts and membership for 90 days are required to post items for sale, post items for trade, or reply to a want list.

100 quality posts and membership for 21 days are required to post links to sales on external sites such as eBay or eCrater.

50 quality posts and membership for 14 days are required to buy items, respond to a trade, or post a want list.

All buying, selling, and trading must be done in the appropriate forums, not the discussion forums.

No "make an offer" sales are permitted. Firm prices only.

Charity sales of any type must have prior approval from the Staff.

All transactions made on or initiated from the forum are 100% the responsibility of the members involved. The forum is merely a venue for the transaction and assumes no responsibility whatsoever. Trade, buy, and sell at your own risk.

Posting or sharing the personal information collected during a transaction with another member without express permission from that member is a significant breach of trust and security and is strictly forbidden.

The Staff reserves the right to pull any buy, sell, or trade reference at any time for any reason without consequence.

The Staff reserves the right to ban any member from buying, selling, or trading at any time for any reason without consequence.

*Quality post: This is entirely at the Staff's discretion. Running through a bunch of topics and responding with "cool", "nice find", "thanks", and similar short no-brainer responses are not considered quality posts. Don't laugh, we've had new members do this then go straight to the sell section and post a link to their eBay auctions. Post counts may be edited by the Staff at any time without warning.
