Petrolhead Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Barry I know I know but Could we have an extra section in the Market Place called Ebay Items. In here members who do not want to sell their items direct to other members but use an ebay action can do so in this section. Also can be used for pointing out interesting items for 7s found on ebay.

Tyrone Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Yes, please. I'd prefer it if the money grabbing tw@ts gave club members first bite of the cherry 😬, but this is a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrolhead Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 I don't think we will discourage it but if we have a section then we, who don't agree, can not look NE7Club Web Site R5 no 65 😬 Edited by - Petrolhead on 3 Apr 2006 21:32:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think this is a good idea. I use ebay fairly regularly and sometimes point things of interest out to people on here. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight fart Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Can't see the point, just put a link in the for sale section. www.tightfart.com A7 RDP pics here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 My Vote = No. Can't see the point. It just means having to look in more fora for things I might want to buy 😬 All that's needed is sensible titles. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrolhead Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Well, for me, its nothing to do with titles. I just think its a shame that member will not give other member the opportuninty to buy items before they go on the free for all ebay NE7Club Web Site R5 no 65 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon S Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 For what it's worth....... and yes I did sell something on ebay recently without offering it exclusively to "the club" ....... how can it be "fairer" or "for the good of the members" to put something on our forum for sale instead of just letting everyone know it is on ebay 🤔 🤔 🤔 At least ebay will host a fair auction system instead of a first come first served if you happen to be on blat chat at that moment system!! (Maybe those who grumble about it just haven't figured out how ebay works yet *confused* 😬 🤔) If it is on ebay then he who wants it the most can have it. (Perhaps some of us need every penny we can get from selling something to even allow us to afford to run a 7!!!) Definite yes from me for an "items on ebay" forum if only to allow people like me to "advertise" bits we are selling without getting moaned at by people who want it cheap before anyone else even sees it!!!

Big Brother Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Simple solution is....sell on eBay, mention it on Blatchat. If a Blatchatter wins the auction/buys the item, then adjust the price they pay accordingly. I did this last week when a fellow BC'er won one of my auctions. I even delivered the item FOC too Steve SE7EN-UP! Incorporating the Caterham Links Database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrolhead Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Simon Its not a case of getting somit for nothing. Its always up to you what you sell things for. Its just that as soon as its on ebay then you may still get the same price but not to someone in the club. And ebay is so impersonal etc etc. I for one, would always try to sell to people I know before going the ebay route I am only suggesting that the club member get the first option to buy. If it has not sold for what you want, say withing a few days, then put it on ebay NE7Club Web Site R5 no 65 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerBrain Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 If we're going to have an ebay section, can we also have a section for people selling stuff where they'll sell it to non-members who email them rather than the first person posting on the thread... cheers, Darren.

shn7 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Good point there Darren. I think you could simply end up with a shed (pardon the reference) load of different fora for all the differing scenarios. So lets keep it simple as it is at the moment. I still can't see anything wrong with ebay as it gives everyone a fiar chance to make a purchase. From the sellers pov if he/she is unsure of the value of something then it's the easiest way. Let those wanting to buy set the price at auction. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 To balance the agrument, isn't putting stuff in For Sale on BC, and not on Ebay, unfair to those club members who don't have PC access all day when at work?
