Sale Swap Trade

How about a section for it? We always have generaous people willing to even give away glass. Of course no ebay type things but maybe a friendly section for gear going back and forth. I know I have personally bought and sold off line from othe forums. Just a thought.

I've seen this on other sites, and yes, I like it

I'll add the forum later next week, once we're settled in.

Thanks, Mo.

Like vievetrick, I have often purchased/sold/traded items on other (non-photo-related) message boards I frequent. It seems a lot more personal than using eBay.

A "For Sale / Trade" forum is a great idea. On another forum I frequent, they have "Trader Ratings" which allow users to post feedback on their dealings with others. I think it would be a good idea to try and incorporate something to that effect as internet scams are prevalent these days. It won't always help, but it'd be nice to have for peace of mind for people who might want to buy from others.

Good idea toshifumi, I was just thinking of a buy & sell section as well (my first time scanning this way) but never thought of the scammers.
I guess that I haven't been ripped off on line yet.

I've added the buy/sell/trade forum towards the bottom of the general category.

Enjoy, but I guess the rules are up to you

It's a good idea -- as long as it's not abused, it could help build communities and draw in visitors .
