Buying and Selling Stuff - IBTL

teemanteeman Posts: 337
edited July 2010 in The Porch
Not sure why the other thread was locked, but it's not crazy to think there should be another place just for buying and selling stuff. Personally, I don't mind folks interacting that way on this board, but it would be easier to find items you're looking for, find buyers AND better for actual PJ conversation if there were a separate area of the board. In fact:

The Porch:
Step out on the porch to discuss Pearl Jam's music, tour, appearances, causes they support, etc. It's all about Pearl Jam here.

Sounds pretty straight forward.

    This has been discussed for years. The mods obviously don't see a need. Besides, if you see a topic that doesn't interest you, just don't click on, move on. Is that so hard. There are plenty of threads that I could care less about. I just don't click. that simple. Now can we stop starting these pointless threads so weez people can hock our goods? :mrgreen:

    I was thinking more a place to talk about collecting pearl jam stuff, rather than actually doing the hocking - as in 'who's got this?', 'who's waiting on that', 'have you seen this?' etc

    I guess people could then hook up with PMs if they want to trade

    It amazes me that people will always find anything at all to moan about on here. It's insane.

    I've been keeping the moaning to a minimum in recent months, but isn't it an obvious category for a lot of the porch threads?

    since it hasn't happened, I guess it's not an obvious category. ;)

    maybe they just don't want to not only encourage, but somewhat ENDORSE the trading and buying on here. They might run into legal issues if they did that. They might then be seen as liable for mediating disputes and shit and I doubt they want to deal with that. I've seen enough of the "don't trade with (this member)-they screwed me!" threads to understand why 10C wouldn't want to get involved in that.

    i think a section for trading/collecting is more of a good idea than it is a complaint...
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    Good point. Definitely couldn't hurt. But then we wouldn't be able to get the attention of the occasional visitor to the porch. :mrgreen:

    And the fact that the other thread was locked compelled you to feel the absolute need to beat a dead horse over and over and post another thread on the subject? Because the other poster didnt have enough clout to get the job done with their well thought out argument you thought you could? Day by day, some of the folks that pop up around here make me shake my head in wonder...GOOD GOD MAN/WOMAN....MOVE ON!! If they deem it something they want to do, I am sure it will be an added feature to the forum!! :shock:

    Everyone else, thanks for having a good discussion on the topic.

    It's certainly not a dead horse. In fact, it's a topic that interests me and I saw no such good discussion in the other thread. Nothing to do with "clout" lol. Thanks for posting.

    You know what...Its a topic that interest alot of people, even me to a degree. That said, the COUNTLESS threads that have been posted on the topic are just as annoying to people like me as those that are selling or hocking shit all the time are to you. SO you are no better imho...Like I said if they choose to do it, they will do it then, but why do EXACTLY what you are bitching about by cluttering up the board?? Just seems a bit hypocritical in my eyes.

    Isn't the real issue with this dead horse that we already have a place where we discuss purchasables? - the porch!

    It is a topic that interests a lot of people. It's not bitching, it's an idea. It's not hypocritical, it's about improving the situation. BTW, I didn't say buying/selling was annoying to me, but you don't care to actually read what I'm saying, rather you take an opportunity to type in call caps. Way to be champ.

    the subject is brought up repeated over the years and the mods have done nothing about it but if it makes you feel better, go for it! maybe this thread will be the tipping point! :D

    it might be a good suggestion for you to check out someone's post count before you jump down their throat like they've been on this forum for 10 years. They have 53 posts. Doesn't sound to me like it was a "dead horse" to them. It was just a suggestion, and not put in a bitching way either like the other thread was. Seems to me maybe you should have jumped all over tremors, not knowcode.

    You also must know from being around here as long as you have that sometimes, SOMETIMES, the squeeky wheel gets the grease.

    Scotts right on the money here.

    That other thread was a full on moan thread.... If you don't get that go back and re read it.

    If you have a question for the mods - for example Kat, go ahead and pm her... Believe it or not Kat is human and may even answer you. I have always found this to be the case... Opening a thread that moans about the threads others make is just stupidity, if you don't wanna read about collecting then don't read them

    And can anyone not see the point made above about 10c not wanting to moderate these sales is totally relevant too.... Can you imagine the bitching if they didn't intervene in a failed trade????
