craigslist/ebay forum maybe?

Every so often I bet all of us find an ad that we wished we had the money for or feel like we have to tell the world about. Is there any chance of getting a forum where we can do that?

As an example...this is what I mean.

If I was not up to my neck in projects already I would jump all over this fleetside truck for 2k...hell it runs and looks to be rust free and if not sold by this weekend the guy is donating it.

Start a thread that's called Ebay - Craiglist findings. Make some rules like: only post car finds, parts, or tools, pre-64.

Can't say if people will follow the thread but if you post enough cool finds it might just stick.


****okay then maybe not

 

but i don't think we are supposed to start a thread doing that. thought i read it was a no no.

that is why i was thinking maybe a forum buried at the bottom so people that are into scouring ebay/craigs list can network here with stuff that is relevent but people that are annoyed by it don't have to see it.

 

You need to look at it this way IMHO
Some of use do have the ca$h to buy some of this stuff and may have been looking and waiting a long long time and saving to find it. Then suddenly a guy that thinks its real cool but cant afford it posts it up on here. Guess what happens then, yes theres several thousand more people are looking - bidding - and telling there friends about it.

Secondly you have the people that do links to spam there own actions.

I didn’t always feel this way until I lost out on some actions on eBay that seamed to go crazy after being posted here.
I think it just makes for more problems for everyone especially the moderators.

 

Start your own Ebay/Craigslist Social club if one hasn't been started already.

 

Anson, yeah I see your point on the ebay stuff.

Denise, it was just a suggestion which this part of the site is for.

 

don't tell me you haven't heard of the hamb's social groups. you can form one and post off topic stuff that might get deleted on the hamb.

 

yep, and mine was just suggestion on how you can get a group together and post that stuff without it being deleted.

i betcha one for ebay wouldn't get the nod for reasons 296 V8 stated above

 

Personally I'd LIKE to see a forum section just for ads/ Craig/ bay/ "stuff found" and I don't give ONE SHIT that it "drives up the price" for somebody else

 

Their are so many scams on both Ebay and Craigslist. I would be concerned about me putting something on here and having another member get takin

 

Nice attitude
