General Marketplace
We have a trading place for some of the popular games, but what about the others? Shouldn't we have a "General" trading forum?
#2
your just full of ideas huh
#3
I see what your saying, a little trading section in the general area would work very well or even in the junk yard would be fine.
#4
Junkyard would make threads go to the bottom too fast.
A forum for this would be good, for me to sell Giftcards and stuff.
#5
Yeah, I say it would be a great idea, for people who want to sell other things.
#6
i wonder why we never thought of this before its so simple but also so great
#7
it could be a good thing, but it would end up causing ridiculous amounts of spam, and there is already a sort of store thing, User Created Stores would cover all games and be considered games in general, and would be able to sell items/currency from any games there are, in your own personal store.

It wouldn't really be called a "store" if you're only selling one item would it? =/
#9
I think this is a good idea. Only thing is that we would need to have a limit on how often each member can sell things so that people wont go putting up threads for each of their game accounts being sold separately just for posts.

well selling one item could be done in the JY, if a subforum was added there for it. which i think is the point of the thread, but the beauty of the UCS is that if you create one store, you can always go back to it if you sell only one item, and add more, or even hold auctions when that feature is activated.

but until the auction feature is added, or until they add another section to the JY just for sales, USC's can work very good for single sales that will turn into more sales.

The problem with the JY is that it moves way too fast. And people tend to spam... a lot.

which is why a section for it all its own could be added, so post count doesn't increase and sales can still be made, but then it comes down to the fact it would be AFK after a few dozens sales or so. so it all comes down to how it would be more effective in terms of use, and a whole section that goes AFK and doesnt get used, is a waste, which is why links to it in your siggy, or a UCS are a great idea, and a whole section is useless to that end.

Note really. I think the whole User/Created shop should be a sub/forum of under General Marketing forum.

It wouldn't make sense to have a whole nother section for something that already exists in a small section all its own. its just not......logical (bum-bum-bahh!).

What's not logical is actually not having a forum to trade items without opening a shop ._.

because there are so many places where you can do that and not need a whole new section to do it in. theres no point in making a whole new area just to make one sale.
#18
just extending the idea a bit. rather than having a full section on it , it can go in the other games section as a sub-forum. but couldn't you just post it in the user created store section?
#19
That would get full of spam really fast...

Then there would be Dis-organization
#20
Good idea, but let us actually discuss the suggestions, theres too many too often for us to get ALL of them sorted out!
#21
@Shane, what can it hurt?...
