Lets make a rule that all goods for sale are offered at a price, no give me an offer etc, if a member wants to give an offer on the original price then it must be sorted out privately (PM's) not in open forum, this just creates K@K
Use it don't use it 8)
-
Hi Skipper I agree
This makes it a private deal between to consenting adults
A selling price must be set by the seller
-
I agree 100 percent with you!!!!look what happend to me!!!!I personaly think members with 50 post or less should not be able to post in the clasifieds,look what happend to me
-
Or atleast not be able to put a add on
-
I agree BKB
The classifieds must be for members in good stead
-
I think even better , there should be a tab where a person needs to fill out a small document with all his details , the product name and model , the age and son pics of the product
Only once he has done this will the add be posted , and the add can only be modified and deleted by an administrator
-
Sound good to me but sound like a lot of work to adminaster to hgeget it runing
-
I think it can be written be the web designer and once done the only admin will be deleting or amending the post
-
A member can't delete it only a administrator its already like that
-
That's Geary
All a member will need to do is fill in the template and hit enter if the template is incomplete the it gets deleted
And at the bottom a disclaimer from treasure hunters
-
Ok cool let's see maby we can get it here
-

-

-

-

-
What do you guys think of the new rules that will be enforced immediately.
http://treasurehunters.co.za/forums/classifieds/rules-for-posting-in-the-classifieds-please-read-before-posting!/
Old posts, obviously are exempt from the rules, this will apply to any new posts.
-
I think its a good idee but how wil whe know its he's real name?real location?you have a good idee but I realy think make it more like 50 post I means I can post 10 times in 2 minutes if I realy want to!like the other guy said one post wonders are usauly the scams!
-
Sorry forgot to put it in my last post I think courier should not even be alowed!!!it can be but then atleast a nother member can confirm the seller like seen hom before just my opinion
-
I have also added a trader rating system whereby you can rate the member.
-
Looks good but it must always include the price wanted for each item, we don't want an auction situation.
-
I think this is Great
And agree with skipper a set price must be advertised and further negotiations are between the seller and the buyer
-
I dont get what the issue is with make an offer?
I place an ad that meets the requirements, I can have 'make an offer', and then members can make their best offer. The seller can sell to whoever makes the best offer if he/she is happy to accept it.
Same with fixed price. I place an ad for R1000, someone is welcome to make me an offer for R900 either PM or on the thread. No issues.
I dont see too much issues with this, can someone explain where the issue comes in?
-
Works for me thanks alot
-
I think it is a great idea. Personally I would still rather collect from the seller and pay him/her in cash or whatever than to risk couriers etc etc. but that's just me....Lol
-
I also think its a big no no

I am on an air rifle forum and have seen the problems that arise when guys start bidding against each other on open forum, rather start with a price then negotiate an offer via PM
-
Thx Skipper, understand what you saying, I just think its going to be very hard to control.
With the initial rules, its pretty easy, I can go and delete the post if they not following the rules for posting.
But to try and police whats happening after that, for example, someone posts an offer on the thread and not on PM - what do I do? Delete it and then the seller loses out on a potential offer? Must I sit PM'ing the offer to the seller and delete from the thread. Just too much policing involved.
I think everyone should just use some common sense when trading in these forums.
We already have some restrictive measures in place, lets try and keep them to a minimum and hopefully our community members are mature enough to act like adults when transacting with other members.
