sell,buy,trade


Recommended Posts

we should have that on the board

what 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. (Y)

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!

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...

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.

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

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

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.

I would think that most would assume that it's not allowed.

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.

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.
