elie boone Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 This is a entousiasts club, you would expect to have a fair price eather way but if you want to make the most out of it advertise it to a specialist site. Unfortunantly we live in 2010 where a favour is something out of the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris__ Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Not read the thread, but have always thought merging for sale and wanted sub-forums would be a good idea, because there are plenty of us who are lazy/evil enough enough to not go on the wanted forums searching for people who may want stuff we have, but do go on the for sale forum as a first port of call on the site. If every wanted item was posted as WANTED: XXXX it would be easy to differentiate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 No .. don't merge Wanted and For sale ... you'll end up with a long list that no one will trawl through. As a seller I will sell to who I like. Mostly this will be the first person to offer an acceptable amount of dosh but I can understand the need to check that the component is correct for your car and hence the dibs system. It's up to me whether I wish to allow people dibs or just wish to take first guaranteed offer. ======================================== Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonball Bob Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Make it all "wanted". Eg. "Wanted: Left handed hoise-boisen for a Series 3-and-a-half thrunge sprocket release pin" And for those with stuff to shift: "Wanted: Someone to buy my car" (174th dibs) Both my cars are mostly aluminium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny. Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 There should be 4 sections. 1) "For sale to genuine buyers" 2) "For sale to serial dibsters" 3) "Wanted for serious hard to get expensive items only" 4) "Mingebags wanted section, for that second hand grub screw I'm to tight arsed to buy new" That should cover it Kenny HPC 218 Evo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonball Bob Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Have you got a second hand grub screw then kenny? Might well be interested. First dibs?

Cannonball Bob Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 So Kenny, when you say it's been dispatched d'you mean it's in a box, somewhere in your garage? If that's the case, can I slip to third dibs please? Both my cars are mostly aluminium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjmmarsh Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I always understood that 'dibs' was the same as making an offer to buy the item for sale - responding on BC means that the order of offers is transparent and fair (unless you cannot read BC during working hours), but is not the place to post contact details or how to make the payment. If dibs are not an offer to buy the item, what are they? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris__ Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Just to push it a bit, when I need a part - I want the maximum number viewers to see it - combining for sale and wanted would guarantee that. What are the arguments against? You could even have a title drop down, guaranteeing each post was correctly subtitled WANTED or FOR SALE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAC Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Totally agree Ozzy, it's a PITA . The time it would take the prosective buyer to post would cost nothing. What is more clear to me from reading this thread, is that I am deluding myself when I think this is a club full of 'like-minded people' *thumbdown*.

Tony Whitley Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Who's this Ozzy you're agreeing with and what did he say? First dibs on the PITTA, it'll do nicely for my lunch 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
