I posted this in the thread I just put up in buying and selling but I should post it here since it's more of a website idea. I see a lot of new topics each week related to 6gen stuff for sale on ebay. What if we made a sticky at the top of the Buying/Selling forum that would be specifically for posting things of interest to us on ebay. Then, a mod could be put in charge of deleting posts when the auction is ended. If you wante to do this and no one wanted to take the responsibility of delting the old auctions, I will volunteer to do it.
Anyways, just an idea for you Coomer. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT

1. Yes bidding wars may happen, but then again there may be potential bidders that didn't know about the parts for sale and now they have an equal chance at winning. 2. Just because I post a link or anyone else for that matter, doesn't mean that we are saying "hey go buy this right now!" we are saying "go check this out, seems like a good deal, is worth checking out". Actually I think I see a comment similar to the second one on every posting of an ebay link. Never does it say "Hey! This is so cheap go buy it now or else!" Members here are always very careful about making sure people buying stuff know they're taking a risk, as is anyone that uses ebay for anything. You should know that before buying anything off of ebay in the first place. As well, wouldn't the same thing apply to our own Buying/Selling forum? If a new member comes on here and gets ripped off by one of our own members, I'd think they'd leave. I actually think that they'd bemorelikely to leave if they got ripped off by someone actually from this site other than an ebay link where the seller isn't necessarily associated with the site. 3. It is easy to do an ebay search, but in times where people are looking for specific parts or maybe at the time they aren't really looking to buy anything, but if a deal comes along on something and they just can't pass it up...why not let them know about it. 4. The whole point of my entie idea was to tidy up the Buying/Selling forum so we don't have countless of new threads each week created for one ebay link. It'snot going to dry our board up, as members from here that do put their stuff on ebay always post a link to it. In this case, they could post a link to the stuff they are selling in the one thread made for ebay links. I hope I correctly argued back showing the pro side of this issue. I'm not trying to detract attention to the regular buying/selling forum...only clean it up. This post has been edited by snadman: Mar 4, 2004 - 4:09 PM -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT
