Hey All and Alex,
I am wondering if everyone would be in favor (or favour, UK) of Alex creating a new CLASSIFIED section here.
I have seen a couple of classified sections that work well, even better than Craigslist or eBag, because we tend to "know" each other better than total strangers.
I have a stock of "this-and-thats" I have accumulated from garage sales and out-of-business sales here locally. I am thinking after the initial heat-of-the-moment buy there are a few things that I probably won't ever use. It could also give some a chance to clean out their garage. Buyers might have requests for parts that some might have (WTB, wanted to buy). Rules could be set to let everyone know the item is sold or no longer available. No follow up posts unless it is a specific question about the item. Purchase priorities are given to those who post both in the for-sale thread AND send a personal info PM. Post bumps could be limited to once a week or so, yada-yada.
And here, we have a group of people that are the target market for such items.
Let me and Alex know what ya'll think.
Thanks,
Steve
