ChrisWill184 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi all Wondering where the section is to sell 'other items' on here that are not guns. Brother has some Lab pups for sale so want to give them a bit of coverage. Also is there a minimum post barrier on here to cross before you can sell items like other forums? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 You need to have been a member for 6 months before using the sales section Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnleydave Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 True, but 6 months does seem long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 True, but 6 months does seem long. If it saves one person being ripped off its not that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Damned if you do, damned if you don't and all that... Too true Dunkeld! I think the moderators do a pretty good job on here, they have had to make decisions and put rules in place which they think are best for the forum and for the protection of members in general. Some may agree with the rules implimented and some may disagree, but when you join this forum the rules are all there for you to see and make their own mind up if they want to abide by them or not. The 6 months period may sound like a long time compared to some other forums but as has been said if it saves saves any members on PigeonWatch from getting ripped off then it has to be worth it. There may well be other forums that do not have a "6 months rule" but are they as good as this forum or have as high a loyal membership as PigeonWatch, and are your chances of getting ripped off on these other (Or lesser) forums higher if you chose to advertise on them?

ChrisWill184 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Ach well. Shame that. The dogs we're trying to sell will be near grown up by then! I understand there are some folk out there that are a bunch of rip offs but you can't really get a dog without meeting the owner (although I'm sure some would try!). Nevermind. Thanks for the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike737 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Has it been reduced to three months? I seem to be able to access it... Drat, I'll probably be restricted again... Or is it just that I have an honest face? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Could there be some exceptions for new members who are known to existing long term members? I have had good mates sign up on here and would happily vouch for them if they wanted to sell something. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beretta28g Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 If i recall it was the members that asked for the 6 month wait after a couple of rip off merchants on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 It's surprising how many people ask about selling after just a couple of posts,not that i am being cynical .I joined the forum to meet like minded people and be abused by them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWill184 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 It's surprising how many people ask about selling after just a couple of posts,not that i am being cynical .I joined the forum to meet like minded people and be abused by them I've been following PW for a couple of years mainly for the hints and tips and experiences of others. Only joined a little while ago to have a bit of an input as I do have a fair bit of experience (though not all successful. Can tell you a lot of things that definitely don't work!!). I see on other forums some guys just looking to offload stuff but that is not my agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've removed the second half of your post as the more cynical amongst us might see it as being a sales ploy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
