  3. Classifieds and auction system online

    in Site News and Information

    Posted

    Agreed. Just use the new system for auctions and retain the old system with ascuk stylee sections.

     

    Sounds good but on the whole if this was done how much would the auction section be used? I cant see what class of items would mainly be put in there? All i can think of is rare items and imported bits and bobs but items this expensive rarely get sold anyway.

     

    To be honest I like the whole new system, it looks snazy and your able to get the gist without going into the thread which is REALLY GOOD for no broadband users but I dont like the auction bit.

     

    I liked the side of the 'Old' sale forums where you had to agree a deal and actually had to communicate with the other person, got to know them a bit in some cases rather then for example the 'buy now' option where youve just found youve been paid and are finding out whos paid you. When repping others about deals I like saying 'good coms', 'quick to respond','top bloke,'would definately deal with again'.

     

    A few quick questions:

     

    Hmmmm just a thought what about trades then?

     

    Also why would we need US and UK sections? the prices are either in USD or GBP simple nah?

    Harsh.

     

    It's just... je ne sais quoi. I prefer the ease of being able to wonder onto the forums, post a sales thread and come back later to a few PMs. I love the auction function, but i don't feel that it's needed for the usual classified function. The classified forums on the whole tend to be a bit "self moderating" and people soon learn. If it's a case of adding a few more sales topic mods then i'm sure that would solve it. I mean most of the regs do LIVE on here :P

     

    I hate to criticise though, sorry mate.

     

    Agreed.

     

    I think it makes buying anything really hard as the seller could in theory wait for ages until a silly amount more then the item is worth comes up.

     

    So much for first come first served which i liked about the forums and why I dont like using eBay. The only way some people can really buy airsoft stuff is second hand by 'bagging a bargain', so long to that. If this system takes over I fear it will simply be the people with the most buying power taking it over. And who said money isnt everything. This system is great for the seller but horror for the potential buyers! *Sigh* :(
