1305180 2012-10-04 22:53:00 I don't see the problem in a b/s/t forum existing though. No one is forced into using it or looking at it. All it does is provides a more official way of selling things. We could also just use pcworld chat (as it kind of is now) to sell/trade things, marking these threads with tags like [WTS], [WTT] and [WTB] and then having a specific set of rules that only apply to threads with those tags. icow (15313)
1305181 2012-10-04 22:54:00 I dont mind seeing the odd pre-loved part being sold, or stuff being given away , but not in favour of a full-on buy/sell/trade type forum. I dont believe its what this site is about.

You do have a point, has anyone actually sold anything here? I don't recall ever buying anything, just a couple of giveaways. Perhaps we could just keep it as that, free trades.

Would solve some issues, you couldn't say you got ripped off when something is for free.

1305185 2012-10-04 23:53:00 If there was to be a Wanted to Buy/For Sale Forum it would need to be a separate forum from the current forums. We already can correspond with other members through personal messages so there would be no need for Fairfax to be involved other than overseeing the Forum.. Bobh (5192)

+1 , we allready have plenty of other places to buy & sell, trademe, sella etc
I can see disputes spilling over into the main forums. And there will be plenty of disputes.
Selling dodgy/faulty goods or buyers who have no idea how to install/setup the stuff they buy.

Still , thats not a good enough reason not to try this...
those who dont want it can easily just ignore a new buy/sell forum (but I bet they wont) :)

1305187 2012-10-05 01:43:00 Well guys, given that Fairfax actually own this site and Trade Me I can’t see the idea getting too much sympathy. :D

However, how would a “Wanted” forum go?

If somebody wanted something, they could list what they wanted and if someone wanted to give or sell they could respond.

Just a thought. :2cents:

Yes, never let the truth get in the road of a good debate. :lol:
