New Items For Sale Forum Feature.

[Astral]

i view this as a web based community and making the for sale section members only seems a bit elitist to me

i like using mig but i dont see any point in becoming a paid up member as i see too many older members moaning about lack of benefits and my bro who is a member has only recieved 1 out of date migmag in his membership pack and heard nothing since

(PS this is my GF's account, i normally post under aragorn and have been around for yonks)

Oh - if I didn't say, MIGClub members will get instant access to the for sale forum once they join - no posting or waiting.

[Nobbie]

I think its a cracking idea.

[gatecrasher3]

Sounds like a really good idea. Will save the odd cheeky t**t posting up stuff for sale. The trader rating is a good idea as well. Nice to see MIG moving forward.

[MikeWarner]

We are also considering a trader forum.

[EasyRob]

I like the 50 posts + 60 days idea.

Trader rating is a good idea. Only thing is I'm assuming this means everyone has to start from scratch? Eg: Some people have been selling for years, others are new ... so someone who's on the Recommended Sellers List will have the same "zero" rating as a new member?

PS: Do you mean a system as on the Talk Audio forums? http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/classifieds/

i think it is a good idea i have been stung once but the member bit shouldnt be compusory i was a member for two years but did nor renew due to cash and baby not being able to go to meets or shows but i am still a good seller

fair enough but whos to say they havent used a familys cc or what ever to join up and whos to say just coz they have payed doesnt mean they arent going to ripp anybody off ?? lets face it there are some arseholes that do this sort of thing now and then that fk it up for everybody else

We should be able to help if a member creates a problem as we should have their full address and phone number.

[screamer69]

yep fair comment !! ive bought loads of stuff from mig members and never had any trouble with peps ripping me off !!

[paul.1clarke]

nice idea but shouldnt it just apply to new members ive been using this site for a long while now and sold quite a few items to happy customers never had a problem then all of a sudden cant post anything for sale
kinda sucks i know i only got 3 posts to go like.

[MikeWarner]

You only need 3 more posts!

We will review the system in a while once it has had time to settle.

[paul.1clarke]

now got me 50 posts and i didnt even just make stuff up to get them now what?

[MikeWarner]

Profiles are updated automatically each day. You should be able to post there tomorrow.

[Ronin]

Liking the 50 posts and 60 days idea

Why not make it a rule that any non-members, have to submit their address to admin before their 'for sale' thread can become live? But then I guess there is no way of detecting false address'.

Could have them phone admin from a land line, that way you could....... I'm just waffling now!

[MikeWarner]

Ronin - the admin time in doing this would be too much unfortunately.

[Ronin]

I know that's what I was thinking while I was typing it.. lmao It sounded good im my head!

[Dom]

Believe me - I'd thought of that too lmao

[Ronin]

Believe me - I'd thought of that too lmao

That's good to hear, at least I'm not completely off my trolly
