For Sale Section poll!

[Brandon]

Please try and vote... I've personally heard nothing but bad thoughts and grumbles cause I'm on the refree end... but I've seen some pretty good deals go down. Try not to let this turn into a debate, just vote, please. Results do not mean the fate of the board, I'm just curious.

Thanks!

i personally don't care for the "for sale" stuff. but i do like the idea of swapping /free parts.

I like it for 2 reasons. 1) cause it keeps all that stuff off the rest of the board and in one place 2) you can get some great deals if you are quick enough some times

[joed]

me l don't like it
l prefer to swap
l figure both parties get want they want
l figure if you want to sell something there is always ebay and swap meets
besides l think when you get cash for a kit or what ever you are only going to spend it on other model related stuff
besides l have had a few as$%*les that haven't paid me

I like it because as soon as I score a collection of stuff here in the WI area, I give you guys first dibs after I am done picking through it. Plus when other people have stuff to offer, you know (in most cases) that you are dealing with someone you can trust. Now that you have to log into the board, it will be ever better because now you will have the whole group knowing what is going on. Just MTC

I have to agree with Mark. The comfort factor is a huge plus. I've had nothing but pleasant experiences with transactions with members. Of course, I've always been on the buying end. LOL

Personally, I would rather trade for items with the guys here. Keep it fun and enjoyable. Money transaction I would rather leave to ebay or I suppose it could be done through PM's that way the board is left out of it if the deal goes south. I have had nothing but great exchanges with the guys here!!!! ;D ;D Good group of KLOWNS!!!!!! ;D

Do it via PM & save the rest of us the trouble-

Brandon said he'd rather not have this be a debate but since people are adding their 2 cents I guess I will too.

I like having it here as long as it's not being abused. I do like the trade basis of stuff better than sales here because I don't like to make money off my friends and that's sort of what this place is. When I see somebody looking for something, I try to help out when time permits and I can dig through stuff and if the section wasn't here, we'd have no way of communicating what we're looking for or need. So I like having it is what I'm saying.

I think those who want to occasionally trade parts should be able to do so but outright selling should go to a site like Ebay.

I have had some questionable dealings with people over the past two years: I sent the parts but never received any payment or even an acknowledgement of receiving the goods. This is not the right way to treat fellow board and hobby members. That is why I no longer offer anything for sale here or anywhere else, I do it on Ebay or a local site.

[Psychotic Hillbilly]

I like the idea of being able to deal with others. I enjoy it and have yet to loose a dime. But If it must go.. So be it.

It was very good for plugging Ebay ShowRod Models.

Thanks guys... I really appreciate everyone who took the time to vote. Like I said, all I ever hear is the bad stuff. I voted "like it".. I think it's neat if we enthusiasts get first dibbs on stuff bound for eBay, or can help a fellow modeler when he needs some extra cash and a good home for his treasures... the trading part is invaluable and a great resource for all involved. It is sad when it gets abused and people don't follow through with their ends, though...

Like I said, this poll isn't going to determine the fate of the section, it'll stay as it is... I was just curious on how the rest of you guys felt.
