Rules for classifieds... do you want them?

i don't mind paying a membership charge.i think it's good idea.maybe more than £3 for people who sell stuff but then who says what goes.

i didn't realise that i was talk of the forum until someone rang me to say i'd popped up on a few threads.

i think that people selling stuff adds vibrancy (probably spelt that wrong but you know what i mean) to any forum not just this one.alot of members only check the classifieds looking for bargins, then get sucked into other parts of it which can only be good.

i know people think that some people, including myself, are running some kind of business on here but how many cheap stems and bars do you need to sell to make it a business.it's all small items that make up beer money or new build parts, you 'd need to be selling 10 frames a week to call it a business and make any real money.i do run my own business (not bikes) so i know what i'm talking about.

most people probably list stuff on here rather than ebay because it's easier and less formal.the buyer and seller can do a deal very quickly and everyone one gets what they.

also i list items cheaper on the forum than there ebay value because it is so quick and easy.
you need to be careful that you don't loose that ease as it will put buyers and sellers off and then i think the forum will lose out.

sorry to go on but i've had a few people having a go on my threads

I don't think it's what you're selling or how much you're selling or the price of what you're selling.

Most of the people on the forum who aren't happy with your sales are unhappy because you don't participate in the community. Obviously drinks etc are difficult because you don't live in London but a little more participation might appease the gods.
