BRNDL Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I am sure this may of been raised before, but I am wondering why there is no section for P.W members to sell their unwanted equipment on this forum? Clothes that don't fit anymore Unwanted Christmas presents (misc section) Decoy equipment Shoes and Boots Cammo netting Hide poles... Ect ect I have been on a forum for motorbikes and we listed everything we didn't use/clear outs for other members of our community to snap up. People taking a break from the sport looking to sell "job lots" that would suit a newbie setting up. Basically just helping each other out with buying and selling.

Can I appeal to a mod or would I be wasting my time? could do but my advise wood be join in with chats on here maybe meet up with a few lads who could vouch for you that your not fake and that might work worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done some good will deeds already and hopefully meeting up with a member that lives close by. Can only give it a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa Bear Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Bit of a detriment to new, enthusiastic users. Can I appeal to a mod or would I be wasting my time? I think the mods should modify this one a bit. Maybe be able to purchase straight away but not sell. Genuine newbies nearly always NEED new stuff and PW is a great place to get that stuff cheaply. You're doing things the right way B12NDL with your Aldi bags gesture. Might be worth appealing to Teal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del T Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Newbies might be new to the sport so they would need all the gear,its a shame we cant even view that section! Have it so only members over 6months can sell and newbies can post replies and buy the stuff. Would have saved me and the wife a fortune as we had no shooting stuff whatsoever.Someones old unwanted gear might have been of use to us.

Cranfield Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Be aware that it was members who asked for some sort of restriction on access to the Trading Post section. This was not only to reduce the chance of "Scammers" (and they are among the Buyers, as well as the Sellers), it was also to dissuade people joining who just wanted to sell stuff. There is greater security on gun sales/purchases, by them being moved to Gun Watch and this has enabled us to make the "6 months" a bit more flexible and we will continue to keep the matter under review.

BRNDL Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 hence what i said to you in the pm I understand Leeds Chimp although I don't really understand why PW restrict me from buying things? Selling...that's fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzypigeon Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 If u want to buy stuff you can put it in the wanted section and the seller can contact you direct.....I assume new members can see the wanted section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wanted section for viewing. Have private guns, trade guns and PW merchandise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any scope for relaxing these rules somewhat? There is a number of things I would like to buy and can't afford new. I am not an avid fan of fleabay either...I would rather line the pockets of a PW member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Have a little patience and I think you`ll find that the mods will be a `bit flexible` as they have indicated. It`s down to showing yourself to be actively interested in the forum I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
