For Sale

Yea i think someone already posted this but what the heck, maybe a for sale thread where people can buy and sell their old pots, lighting equipment, stands, or what have you. I think this would make a major impact. Cause just i alone have gone through like 3 set ups and now are just sitting in my room when i know some newbie would love to have.

i'd back this. just grow stuff. or other things too.

Have to be careful. But that could be awesome. Sort of a buy, sway and sell forum or board.

yea exactly mogie, but only for growing oriented items ballast, bulbs, buckets... but i think it would be a good way for people who actually are dedicated enough to post on this forum and help other people should deserve cheap and quality things dont you think so.

I love it. The first practical idea I've seen posted about a new forum or board. Would participate too.

Now we need to come up with a name. Buy, swap and sell?

Buy, Swap and Sell! sounds good

Hey mog what you say we split this 50/50 haha yea hopfully it falls threw.

im behind this, sounds good. whens it gonna get its legs? havent really got anything to offer, alas. so long as noone goes peddling seeds it should be cool. roll on the selling!

Yeah but I think it should maybe only be for the people who have been members for a while or something. My reason for saying this is sample, people will try to sell stuff they don't really have. I mean someone could get on here and try to sell a 200w hps bulb as a 600w bulb. Someone would buy the bulb thinking it is a 600w bulb and burn their house down.

Also, if only the real members are able to sell stuff that would end most of the messed up deals. Someone says they will buy you exta light and never do. You buy something from one of the new people and you send them the money and you never see them again.

I think this is a very good idea. I like it alot but there has to be some kind of guide lines. Let me know what you all think?

of coarse you should at least have a 200 minimum post count i think that would be fair because if your putting the time and input worth 200 post that should be reasonable. It would also protect us from kids just signing up and start selling, its more like you have to be a committed member, better yet you cant even comment or reply in the FOR SALE thread at all if you have not reached your 200 post limit.

Hey that sounds good to mean Cheeto.

hopefully a MOD!!! will check it soon, I think that this would be wonderful, Great idea!!!

I say it sounds good, but there are 5,000 member's. Only people who are known, and have rep here. I say atleast 2 bar's. Then it would sum it up for people who just wan't to rip us off, and know who we can trust. We would have to do it by mail, the internet. -Paypal etc..-
The money would been sent by mail order, or creditcards on paypal. We Have to use a trusted sourse. The Mods would have to set it up, Retain information from both people involved in the transaction, like there adress and personal infomation.

Make it so we will not have enyone cheating us, if i were a mod i wouldent allow theft in my forum. I know our MODs are like that to, so only serious buys/sellers are in there selling, i hope the mods post here for thier opinion.

That is asking a lot of the moderators. I mean why should they go to all that work for nothing. Ebay gets their cut and so does paypal. This is getting way to complicated. You can't expect the mods to get involved and take a financial responsibility (if the deal falls through of someone feels like that got ripped off) who is responsible?

tis true. not really a simple way around it without some sort of inesecurities. maybe just simple add selling. if its from someone with rep then its prob reputbable, if not its up to you. payment and shipping can be arranged based on that.. all at owns expense. i guess detailed pictures and links could prevent buyers getting the wrong item...

all a bit too complicated tho i guess.. thats what ebays for

I havent used ebay at all so i don't kow what it's capable of... but you could host your auction on ebay, put it as a private auction, and post the auction on a special forum for people selling stuff. of course still implementing the same min rep/post to sell and post a sale. that way there is less of a threat to get ripped off as ebay prob has measures in place to prevent it. it's like using a wheel that's already there and not haveing to re-invent it. just a thought...

Click to expand...

Well they would not be financialy responsible, of course the two people making the transaction would be held responsible. I was just saying they would keep records and a close eye on things, so no one is tempted to try and cheat someone.

You are heaping a lot of extra work on them. What are they getting out of it? You can't sell a lot of stuff on ebay. You can sell vaporizors but no marijuana pipes or bongs. You can sell on book on pot as long as the word marijuana isn't mentioned in the title. Whatever is decided I think we are all adults and we should leave the moderators alone. They have enough to do. Since this is becoming so complicated why not just donate to your local compassion center? I think that is what I am going to do.

smart buyers would go through paypal ,verified, buyer protection, legit. They handle everything. BUT if any one wants to donate you could do a freecycle thing?
