Hi all,
In regards to the market place idea, this has been noted however isn't going to happen this year for sure. This is something we're looking into for 2010 which will be launched on a much greater scale than whats been spoke about. I guarentee it'll be worth the wait once it is launched and will feature much more than whats been discussed here, but you'll have to sit tight on this one I'm afraid.

The chat facility however will be live soon. It's currently on a our test site so this is pending...

Would this be a good place to advertise a couple of second hand ferret traps for sale that I've got gathering dust in my shed?

Just what I have been looking for! I'll take them...

Sold! They're a bit rusty but there must be someone on the forum you can ask about cleaning them up a bit - sad to see 'em go, been in the family since I was a nipper.

Okay - some questions need answering first:

1. How would you go about making sure that nobody got 'done'
2. Who would accept responsibility
3. What about member confidentiality (address and stuff)

I think that, in essence, the idea is a good one but I'm sure Cooksons would need to be satisfied that there were basic safeguards in place. I have never been involved in this type of endeavour and I don't know how doable it is on this type of forum.

I know that Nic's concern is for the 'honesty' of the thing. Are there any legalities involved?

Cookson's haven't responded yet - if you want it to happen I think it needs to be put forward to them as a well-thought out package with robust guidelines

Here' you go

Ah, thanks Nic. I'd forgotten that one.

I've been a member of a car forum for a few years now and there is a "For Sale" section there - basically people post what they have for sale with a price and then most people will PM them if interested so any personal details are not put on a public forum, payment is via Paypal as long as it's not sent as a "gift" then you are covered by the paypal guarantee thingy. There have on a couple of rare occasions, been one or two people selling things that the buyer was not happy with, the moderators and admin stepped in to help mediate and if the seller was at deliberately at fault or just did not respond they were banned.
