Question marketplace:wanted items

bigdavephoto · 03-13-2015, 12:07 PM

I have been wondering about this for awhile.

If I go to the marketplace and look through the wanted items, I see a thread where somebody needs something and I click on that link, all I get is the box that tells me I do not have permission to view this thread, and then is list possible reasons why.

Shouldn't the wanted section be open? If I look down through that section, somebody may be wanting something I have that I don't need anymore but if I can not see the thread, I can not contact that person.

I just thought it was curious that the wanted section is the one place on the forum where a member has to pay money to be able to read it.

The wanted items are only visible to those with Marketplace access, e.g. Site Supporters. You must have Marketplace access to sell items on the forum; either in the For Sale forum or in response to want requests.
