For sale section

Hi all

Any news or developments on the controversial ‘for sale/swap’ section on the forum? I know many of us would find it very useful and helpful.

Cheers

Oh we can just moderate the buggers 😉

I would help moderate it with someone-if that helps but do i need some Karate Kid type training first? I only really have access to the web at work….

Can we put a disclaimer on that the vendor is not from a commercial organisation (ie professional dealer?)

Would that sort out the wrong uns?

I think it’d be a welcome addition, so long as it wasn’t abused by companies wanting free adverts. A “classified” section would be good. (Especially as I have a camera I want to sell at the moment 😉 )

To quote Basil Fawlty: “I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it” 😀

I did offer and it would be churlish to withdraw. Members only sub forum or seperate forum with separate Hysteric, Modern Militant and Air Zimbabwe used vomit bag sub forums (maybe a flight simulant one as well if the geeks moan too much).

It’ll never happen :diablo:

That’s a sensible idea Mark12.

Anyone out there itching to moderate it? I will do it if no-one else will, but someone with more spare time would probably be preferable 🙂

Could I please suggest that more a ‘Historic Wants and disposals’ sub-section would meet the greater need.

I believe the emphasis should be on providing a service for established ‘historics’ rather than a freebie for ‘Johnny one-post’ commercial outlets.

It will for sure need a moderator.

Thanks Dudes

I’ll PM the webbo ASAP. I think your poll will provide a nice bit of ammo John C 😉

Cheers

I’ve just bumped my poll of a few weeks ago, if that’s any help 🙂

For sale/trade

Elliott

why not just start a thread titled: “my list of surplus parts, pm/e-mail me for details”. Then it becomes an “off forum” topic between your individual e-mails/phone numbers.

OK Folks,

Boy has then been running for awhile the last time I put up the following link,

http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=5

Now here is a forum that has For Sale area and it works, we have never had any problems.

Cheers

I agree with Mark12. Great idea but better in a sub-section.

Moderator hat off.

Excellent idea but not on the Historic forum proper please.

The risk is you will swamp it. One person’s joy is another persons ‘tat’.

A sub section ‘Historic for sale’ is the route forward in my view. Then those not interested will not be frustrated by NUMEROUS seductive thread titles which turn out to be a child’s blow-up Spitfire model or such like for sale.

Just look at ebay and compare it now with two years ago.

Feel free to PM the webmaster.

Hi.
I think it’s a good idea as i have a lot of stuff i think people might want.
A few weeks ago i offered an aviation watch for sale, BUT some people
DIDN’T like it one bit. the offer, not the watch BTW, so i pulled the thread.

Do any moderators out there have a view? Would it be allowable if it were not for commercial gain? I have lots of odds and ends that are surplus to requirements….
