    Anyone in Favor of a once a week "for Sale Day"

    For those who use **ay. They now have a dominant position in the market and are exacting increasingly high fees from users. The only antidote is competition. I am in favor of any reasonable alternative to the auction leviathan.

    I really wouldn't mind. I rather buy or sell to a fellow photographer whose name is familiar to me. I don't think this would become a comercial site by allowing that. Anyway there seems to be a lot of people opposing to that idea, so be it.

    Anyone in Favor of a once a week "for Sale Day"

    I think as long as it was only for private sales: no commercial entities allowed (how you enforce that however, is problematic) I would, in principle, be in favour. But, I wonder if it would not open a hornet's nest of arguments as to what exactly *is* and is *not* a "private" sale; are adverts for auctions allowed; etc. etc. and give the moderators more work sorting out petty squabbles over such issues than they need in their lives.

    On the other hand, the non-commercial nature of this forum is one of its major distinguishing features and I would be loath to lose that - even photo.net's relatively low-profile advertising leads to a different attitude on the forums there: not so much a community as simply a collection of people...

    Mmmm.... this fence is rather uncomfortable.... OK - if push comes to shove, unless there is a clear preference, I would say keep it as it is: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the information. I would like to know if there is a site that is similar to "Shutterbug Ads" which I subscribed to in the early seventies. I recently found out about photo-net and RK's new replacement, on this forum. Thank-you. Is there a listing of "For Sale sites" dealing in photo equipment/ Thanks, any info would be appreciated. I have not sold on E-bay although I have purchased.

    No, I like the Classifieds the way they are.
    Nothing beats a great piece of glass!

    I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.

    Once you have been a member here for 30 days you will be able to see the For Sale section. Since you singed up in December, that should be now. Just look at the forum page and go down the list and for sale should be near the bottom. If you have problems contact the moderators.

    Note that BKP's question essentially resurrected a 2004 thread. Our FS/WTB sub-forum was started in 2008.
