Dave123 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Hey guys, Been a while since i have been around the forums,just put up a couple watches here at RWG and see there is a fee now to sell. To be honest,i think that its a great idea and all these forums should follow suit,been a free ride for too long for flipping watches,should donate for being allowed to resell. Might not be popular with all,but i think guys that have been around would support this idea,i do,are the other forums (RWI,RG etc..) doing this?,if not,they should. Should be a forum standard. Thoughts?.... Dave.
dbutlerman Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 I thought you had to be a VIP or Platinum member here to sell. So, wouldn't that count as paying to sell?
Dave123 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Posted September 17, 2011 Paid a couple bucks,now my watches are in the "classified" with some bot as the seller....glitches i guess.
subbiesrock Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Paid a couple bucks,now my watches are in the "classified" with some bot as the seller....glitches i guess. That makes sense, I was wondering who the hell this RSS bot was who was flipping about 10 watches a day!
dbutlerman Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 I think the bot is what admin is using to re-post sales from the classifieds into the New Content area...
dbutlerman Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 If you click the more button at the top you can go directly to the new Classifieds section.
Dave123 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Posted September 17, 2011 Never said you couldn`t. Anyway,i was asking if paying is the new norm with the forums....
dbutlerman Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Got it. Sorry for going off topic.
PPN Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 To be honest, I liked the old way better. I think the new system with time limits puts more pressure on sellers.
alterego Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 I very much agree. The older format was a lot more friendly. There was a sense of a community. I did not sell any watch under that format but a bought a few from fellow members. Now it's like reading the ad section of a paper. Cold, impersonal and boring. It's a petty, it's not as much fun as it used to be when reading watch trade forum.
Dave123 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Posted September 18, 2011 Hmm,cannot reply to my sales thread in there nor edit it... The 253 is sold,the SLR still available,best offer. How do you mark a watch as sold or change the price etc???....
maxman Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 I also feel that the new sales section seems to be little cold and Indifferent,a loss of community as It were. As far as the fee is concerned??...Im always In agreement when It comes to supporting this community. I also feel that supporter status covered this issue. That being said,I also know that the price of things have gone up..bandwidth etc. But the thing thats really killing me is having to pay $10.00 a month to look at some T&A Maybe a suggestion box for supporting members could be considerd,just a thought. Mike
Admin Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 As I have stated before; The classifieds area is a new area that will be heavily developed and for now, nobody will pay to sell. All ads can be posted for free by using the coupon code "adfree". Eventually, we will most likely go back to the system where supporters can post ads for free, but regular members have to pay to post an item for sale. The RSS Import robot is just something I am using for now to get the ads to show better on the forum, until a better solution is found.
mastrmindalliance Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 The RSS Import robot is just something I am using for now to get the ads to show better on the forum, until a better solution is found. For me, it doesn't show out better. It gets buried. It might seems lo-fi but the bolded FS prefix always caught my eye. Now the new posts in sales don't. Just my opinion of course. But im not a hate change kinda guy. Everything else about the new system is awesome. Except the sales section. Is there some way to make them eye catch like they used to within the new system? Maybe we skin up FS posts as a contrasting colour to other new posts...
prdubis Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 Anyone knows how to edit price or add comments? I'd want to make a price drop but I can't!
