Support Forum

Hi All

Im hoping that Adam (DJsupport) and myself can launch a Classified Ads section for FS forum members to buy and sell used lighting and releated kit.
It would be a free service to allow members to sell bits of unwanted kit and NOT a place for commercial sellers to tout their wares for free.

Before getting to deep into it, I thought it would be a good idea to gauge what interest there would be for this and if anyone had any comments about it.

Let us know what you think...........................

We tried this once already. Due to Lack of Interest, It was not maintained and now is offline.

We now recommend Ebay! lol

Opps. Looks like the database got deleted too..

Ok so if unlike Matt you would be interested in buying and selling some used kit please add some comments below.
I have already chatted to Adam about this and have offered my time in helping run it.

I realise that Ebay is a favorite place to do this but this would be a fee free place to trade between FS users.

My ideas so far are to have a list of kit for sale and a list of kit wanted.
Ive seen this work really well on other related forums so why not here too.

As the forum is getting really busy I think there would be more support for it now. It does need YOUR support to work at all!
Please dont just dismiss the idea.

It may work, if we had a larger user base.
A simple classifieds section in the forum is all we need. one for sale, one for wanted.

That is indeed all that is need!
Obviously it would be better to have a larger user base but I still think it would work.
I think the reason it didn't work before is that it was a separte link from the forum home page. I never visit that page myself, i just go straight to the forum.
Perhaps then we could have a trial run for a few months on the main forum.
As you say one thread for 'For Sale' and one for 'Wanted'
Ive got quite a bit of old kit I no longer use / want. Id rather offer it up to fellow FS users for a good price than list it on Fleebay.

Sound ideas and comments from Onge!
Some if not all the things you metion could be incorporated into the rules for this area.
