For Sale Section

[Guest p2daz]

I don't know about everyone else - but i really miss the for sale section.

I think i understand why it was removed - due to some theiving gits i presume??

Just a thought though,i am a member of another site (car related) and their forum uses an ebay style feedback system - your trade rating is displayed under your user name and avatar.

Could this not work on Modaco?

cheers

That was discussed I think, but at the end of the day this is a Windows Mobile forum, not an auction/sales site. How could anyone "guarantee" that feedback was genuine? It's not a simple add-on to a forum.

I for one think closing the section was the right decision. Too many fraudsters and cheated members to justify it.

ok so there were some scamsters but not as many as on ebay,i for one had a couple of good deals on here both buying and selling and when i look at ebay it only favors the seller - £15 to post a c500???.Most forums that i have been on in the last six months or so all have a 'for sale section' with feedback left by the same method as ebay.

Take a look at thisexample I picked this at random from a site i use(sorry if it's a Modaco member) ;)

It was mainly one individual in Glasgow that was causing these problems. Unfortunately the people he stole from did not persue the matter further with the police, so rather than having more members getting ripped off we have been forced to close the For Sale Section down.

...I agree it is a shame...I am not a fan of eBay, but found an outlet here for some of my kit - and those that bought appreciated it I think...now I have to let stuff go to CEX...

...oh well...
