Bring Back "For Sale By Owner"?


Recommended Posts

I know we're requested to use General Disc for this stuff after the FSBO (Buy/Sell Traders) forum was shutdown over a year ago.

However you may have to admit that in the last few weeks there's been a influx / larger buzz of selling threads in all different forums. I see the majority in the Hardware Hangout.

Perhaps this actually warrents the need to bring back FSBO?

I don't sell stuff on neowin so whether it comes back or not doesn't really bother me. If it doesn't those people can continue to use General Disc.

I'm just speaking out for those who do.

Opinions Please. (Y)

Yeah, we tried getting it earlier but had no word from the Admins after awhile..

I do think there is a need for such a section, maybe something like below?

Neowin's Market

-For Sale

+--Want to buy

Hot deals

I agree StainD. There has been many posts about items for sale, and I for one would be a frequent visitor to that forum, and I probably just may list some stuff in it.

If done, maybe make it:

For Sale / Free Stuff

So all those threads popping up with "Free Stuff", can be included in there. *shrugs* Could be a good idea if enough people want it.

Maybe, but only if there was a section that had threads about recent bargains or price drops as well. That would be more interesting to me than what other people are selling.

The free stuff would go under Hot Deals ;)

Although, this has been suggested so many times that I'm sure the admins are sick and tired of seeing the For Sale Forum requests by now.

I like the Want to buy bit, it would be good for recommendations on the best from other's experiance etc. rather than waiting for the topic of a product that you are considering to pop up

possibly as a sub to Hardware Hang-out if we can stomach yet another forum.. we already have so many..

More the better? :unsure:

I was also thinking about asking if you'd make Drivers-Drive In (Driver DIsscussion) also a subforum of Hardware., Move Software to the Top above hardware and thus adding some more room for FSBO? I dunno. Lots of requests :s :unsure:

Phew, that took a while to come up with. :happy: The marketplace can be under Recreational Activities (above Back Page News) so it doesn't get in the way... A sub forum to Hardware Hangout seems odd though since many people are selling things other than hardware (software, games, etc.)

I like the idea of making Overclocking / PC Modding and Drivers Subforms of Hardware. Seems logical they all are hardware / hardware related :)

Also throwing in PDA, Tablet & Mobile Devices even makes it better too

This makes lots of space for that NEOWIN Market or FSBO. :D

hehe well I am guilty of trying to sell stuff on here... They is quiite a few now... but my feelings are that if there was another forum allocated for this people would use if wuite frequently because they wouldn't be scared of getting flamed or told to pis* off.

Although it should be made that the posts cannot be bumped...

Just my 2 cents :D

Well I look forward to seein' how this goes. I'm constantly findin' free things that would be good to post there (I got myself some wireless music supplies for only the shipping cost, for example). (Y)

That's stupid, an entire category, 3 forums and 4 sub-forums for just one suggested sub-forum! geesh it's not going to be that popular right up.

Wireless music?

Yeah, where you can set your PC to broadcast your Winamp (or WMP9 or whatever) playlist wirelessly to your home stereo. :D
