freakyfriday Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 we should have that on the board what ya say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 no we shouldn't we had it and it wasn't used, so if you have anything to "sell,buy,trade" use general discussion and in the future search msgboard before posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoa Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 we should have that on the boardwhat ya say? sure why not? but direct selling over Neowin.net should not be done. Rather do it via some online merchant, and post the ads of which on Neowin, allowing Neowinians a chance for purchase via private auction.

bakerster Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 no we shouldn'twe had it and it wasn't used, so if you have anything to "sell,buy,trade" use general discussion and in the future search msgboard before posting! When was the forum closed though? We have just about 51,000 Members at Neowin.net, and its growing rapidly. I think if we set up a small subforum, it couldnt hurt? I have seen more requests for selling hardware in teh last few days than anything else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 No that would be pontless. Use ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now IMO it would warrent this forum, to rid general descusion and hardware hangout of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I would agree with this. It is a forum that I would visit everyday, and probably post quite a few things up for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it failed once doesn't mean it will fail again. There also seems to be quite a demand for this, I think the Mods should seriously consider this.

Banzai Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I dont think we should, the mods have enough work to do and shouldnt have to police something like that. Also what happens to people who dont send goods its best left to ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what happens to people who dont send goods its best left to ebay then that would be something the buyer would have to do to/with the seller Nothing to do with neowin, neowin would simply be a 'classified' Index of all sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplecookie Veteran Posted March 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2004 I think we should have a seperate location for selling and such. It would give neowin members a chance to sell their items to people that they would rather do business with. If i had to choose ebay or neowin, I'd choose neowin anyday. While there should be disclamers stating that if someone DOES get ripped off neowin won't take responsibility, i think it would be a great asset to our community.

freakyfriday Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 yes i know good idea, and for me when i sell stuff, want money first then i sent it, and i won't rip you off, i'm not that kind of person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2004 IF Neowin was to create a buy/sell/trade area could they please not have those threads pop up in the "Active Posts" list? It's one of those things that you are either interested in or you're not and I wouldn't want my list cluttered on a daily basis. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?&act...&CODE=getactive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 yes i know good idea, and for me when i sell stuff, want money first then i sent it, and i won't rip you off, i'm not that kind of person. when i buy stuff (like i just bought this new PC) I dont do this, i pay half, say now, then half when i have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 also, look at hardware, there have been 3-5+ topics in the last 5 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2004 I lot of topics have cryptic names like "laptop" rather than "laptop for sale". This is probably because many people would think that outright selling is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john smith 1924 Veteran Posted March 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2004 We found that although it was a nice idea, very few people wanted to sell anything; and if you did, you had little security in terms of buyer / seller trust. Ebay is probably a better bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
