disturbed Posted December 29, 2006 CID Share Posted December 29, 2006 ...i think I might have mentioned this before, or not...I dont remember.....but what about having a for sale/trade/buy section here at tmn - where members can sell/trade/buy electronics from other people you get the idea Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17019-for-sale-section/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted December 29, 2006 CID Share Posted December 29, 2006 I PM. But yes you did. And yes I am for it. Other than any member squabbles. That would be the only drawback I see.

Ryan314 Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 I agree, the only drawback would be bad deals between members which could cause friction. Other than that i mean its a good idea... but if peoples trades go bad, they might start blaming CA3LE and flaming. Idk it has its ups and downs. Not too sure if the downs outweigh the ups though.

resopalrabotnick Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 yeah, it got mentioned before. and i think the consensus was go to ebay if you're not giving it away for free.

Storm311 Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 yeah, it got mentioned before. and i think the consensus was go to ebay if you're not giving it away for free. Amen to that..at least on ebay you could advertise to a lot more people, you could just work out private deals on here if you wanted through PM's Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17019-for-sale-section/#findComment-195052 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm311 Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 Yeah, I got a Super Nintendo on here. In PM's. Nice, SNES was AWESOME!!! I'm still trying to restock my N64 I love me some drunken MarioKart 64 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17019-for-sale-section/#findComment-195058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 Never had a N64. The SNES the last one I messed with, and mine was messed up, so I needed most everything that came with it. Works fine. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17019-for-sale-section/#findComment-195063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted December 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 i know there are ups and downs to it, but simply have a disclaimer where testmy.net has nothing to do with it - that way, its off the hook if anything happens......and just use common sense, trade with well known members not with ppl with 2 posts Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17019-for-sale-section/#findComment-195161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 OK, hopefully a good example. I sell you something for computers. It leaves my house in working order. You recieve it not working. We flame on the forum from it. (outside of that section also). Not proper of course. But that is human nature. There are no built in guarantees like buyer credits and such like there is in ebay where you can put up bad credits or what ever. (you can tell by my terminology I don't ebay much ) Anyway now you have upset members. If we traded on ebay, we would more than likely not even know we were on the same forum. But I guess the same risk comes from PM's, so never mind. I think I conveyed that right.

resopalrabotnick Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 not to mention you can probably make more money for your stuff on ebay than here since bay has more suckers...

tommie gorman Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 And like Reso says, we already know if your equipment is any good. You already asked for help on here. So we know it is broke. They don't. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17019-for-sale-section/#findComment-195184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 Atari, now that is old. I remember when I bought my first one. Shortly after my first marriage. I believe it was back in 1980. Good luck on the cable. That is truly an antique. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17019-for-sale-section/#findComment-196828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

coknuck Posted January 7, 2007 CID Share Posted January 7, 2007 That Intellevision was state of the art in its day. It was the first 16-BIT system ever for gaming. I bought one for my Kids in 1979. http://members.tripod.com/~Slish/Intellivision/INTVdisc.html Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17019-for-sale-section/#findComment-197291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
