Up In Smoke

Some people are like Slinkies... They're really good for nothing.
...But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Smokin Soon

I like that idea also. Would prevent outside spam I think.

I like to heard Brian's opinion.

I like it and if it gets out of hand it can always be removed later.

Sounds like a good idea to me.  My only problem with it is living over this side of the pond, I'm unlikely to be able to take advantage of very many of the offers  :'( !!

I'm on a computer forum that has a "Marketplace" posting section. But before you can even READ that section, much less post to it, you must have a certain number of posts to the general forum. That keeps the spam-bots from having a field day and limits the participants to actual users of the main forum in general.

Say make a 50 post limit before you can see/read the marketplace?

Yes, it limits the potential buyers pool, but the sanity it brings is priceless.




This is a good idea.

To post item for sale you need to have an established posting count.

This could be a good thing if properly handled.  Hopefully a member will not establish a business and use the forum for advertising.  This really should be limited to occasional private transactions.
No disrespect intended here.
bryan, yard and pool...some members here advertise for him.
tiny tim some members here advertise for him also.
are we to limit them to 3 transactions a month??

again please forgive me i mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone.

I dont think anyone will take this as disrespect. But say Bryan at Y&P has those damaged Bradleys he could put them here and see if he could sell em, Even Tim when he gets damaged smokers. The 3 transactions was just a number i threw out there.

Its all good my friend

I Like IT!!

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

I can't speak for Bryan, but I think I would only post stuff that I'd want to get rid of quick, not necessarily related to my actual business(es).  I've got a lot of unique stuff here, and while I don't like to part with anything that I've acquired (besides inventory), sometimes ya just need a fast buck or 500.

But it would have to be site related like smoking, bbq or processing IE: Stuffers, grinders, casings and the like

I guess I'd only use it to buy stuff then. :)  Not a problem.  BTW, you should have a new toy arriving today.

And of course BBQ, smoking, stuffing, etc....
