It's not a matter of what makes everyone happy  - This is Chris's site, he owns it and can make the rules anyway he likes.

Please don't think I am trying to be a smart a&&, but you wouldn't walk into Sears, Target, Walmart and negotiate their selling practices.

Off my soap box..... 


Not a bad idea though

Wow, what a great idea, that way sellers won't have to pay to view the classifieds and you can contact them outside of the Classifieds, yeah, that's gonna happen, Nice try, but don't think so... .  People selling on here WILL have to pay to post, PERIOD, and you are doing a great job of getting the rules tighter and tighter.

well i thought i had a good idea.....U can see the parts..but u have to pay to see who is selling them....Dont no if that could be done...But that would bring u more in the long run....thay way you dont pay the fee and find out no one has the part you want...

It would be a good solution... Don't know if that is a possibility at this time.  I haven't found a mod to do that......yet.

I figured what was out there would be sufficient for right now.  $1 to view it, $2 to post.  Especially if you only after the buy and sell part of the forum.  That way if you wanted to look at it once a month, its only $12 a year
Of course if you wanted to post that would be $2 per day, and all notifications are turned off so you won't know if anyone posted until you paid again....

Chris, just my .02, but the idea is going to prove cumbersome and unusable from the user's point of view and it will end up unused. That may be what you want, I don't know.

I spend all day dreaming up workflow scenarios and this one won't work, sure you can set the policy and procedures but I do not think anyone will use it as proposed.

I would suggest putting the burden solely on the seller, let the potential buyer browse at will and ask questions, but ability to create new topics would be the responsibility of the seller and cost $$.

Howdy all.     Hey Chris how about just making the seller pay a normal fee to post a for sale item? If your selling an item for $20 than you pay a $2 (10%) fee, $200 = $20. Have them send their add to you and when you see them pay by pay pal post they're add for a pre determined length of time. That's the way the Trading Post does it around here. They lower the percentage the higher the price. That would be for parts or whole trucks. If they don't want to pay than go play somewhere else.

By the way this post I believe makes 100. I know it doesn't get me anything as far as the classifieds but I get some stripes or something for my sleeve don't I?

You could also add an "honor pay" system. When a seller sells a part or item they can pay a certain amount to you for allowing them to use the space.

Check out http://www.racingjunk.com/ it has a system like that as well. If they don't want to "honor" you for using your space, drop the hammer on em!....lol

OK, this is how it is going to be....
A) new users with less than 3 posts will not be able to see the Classifieds at all.  The whole idea here is to get people involved in the communitey, so this won't change...
B) Post count only matters in PM counts.  All non supporting members can view ALL the Classifieds, They can post REPLIES to trucks for sale, Found on Parts classifieds (EXCEPT the WTB section) and they can post in the FOUND on.
C) Site Supporters that pay $25 a YEAR (this is cheap yall) can do anything in the Classifieds, and they get 25 PM's...

I like that idea. The $25 a year sounds like a great idea! I'm glad you figured it out.

My question is this: Do we have a place like a "whats it worth" thread? If not, where would the proper place be to post?

If you think it is such a great idea, you should think twice about posting YOUR ebay and craiglist links in the found on forum (NON MEMBERS ONLY).  If one more person tries that, it will be a pay to post also....

I understand the rules and would like to repost my items.  The tabs are gone in order to do that.
