New "for sale" section?????

[Smiffy]

Is there any real reason why we couldn't have a "For Sale" section for non golf related items??? OK I appreciate that this is a golf fourm, but there must be loads of members who have stuff for sale or are looking for stuff that could save other members a shed load of money or hours spent trawling around different websites and online auctions. Cameras, Hi-Fi, phones, cars etc. I think the new 100 posts or 60 days membership of the forum before you can sell would help stop spamming.

I'd certainly use it.
I'd feel much happier buying or selling to someone on here than a complete stranger on ebay

I'm all for that............oh, did I tell you I have a 09 plate VW passat tdi highline for sale.........

 

[Oddsocks]

I think it's a good idea, even if it was close to registered members so joe public couldn't view it. That and some general sub headings

I might (might) be upgrading my television in a month or two Tommo. Would you rather buy a "mint" 50" Panasonic Plasma from somebody you trust or a cheap "never heard of make" from Asda for the same money???

See. It works! I'd be quite happy to moderate it if you needed somebody. Will PM you Murph. Just got to work on the Missus

Good idea Smiffy. If you go spending make sure you use Currys, my shares need a boost!

Excellent idea, I've got a pair of cycling bibs that are giving me joggers nipple!

Good shout, I could post stuff like these brand new Dell Ink Cartridges that are surplus to requirements due to changing printer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260919205...LX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1413

I'm only in the very early stages of looking to be honest Murph. I've seen a lovely new Samsung set I'd like but it's 3D and I don't really want to go down that route. I'm waiting to see if they bring out an indentical model (lookswise because it really is the bees knees) but without the 3D facility.

@op good idea

 

[The19thHole]

Great idea as I got told off for trying to sell my ipod :-(

@op good idea

Because the fewer people you advertise to, the better...right?

 

[AllyLodge]

Although i am not allowed to sell, it would be good idea for non-related golf items .

So any more thoughts on this???? And can it go further??? Responses thus far have been favourable, but the thread died a death being put in this section.

 

[bobmac]

I'm in favour.
Maybe a note to Mike ?

 

[Andy]

Ye go for it. Ive loads of shite I'd love to off load lol

 

[MikeH]

Still pondering it Smiffy

Number of genuine concerns raised in emails to me but I'm not completely averse to the idea. It would require a whole new sub forum being created and I need to be in the office on the network to be able to do that

Nudge me end of the first week back in Jan
