Either way works fine, just give sellers the ability to delete posts from their own sale thread... as a seller, I would simply delete lowballer posts. Plus, sellers do have the choice about who the item is sold to.

ROFL :hap2::clap:

You make me LMAO sometimes Vij.

Its called "etiquette" not secrecy.

Market section is for "private indivisuals to sell off their unwanted old hardware."

Private indivisual X has a E6600 and wants to sell it to get a Q6600. He puts it up for Price A.

One l33t buyer Y decides that the price is unfair... and decides to post "Dude i offer A/2 + 100.... want to sell?"

After that point even if l33t buyer Y doesn't buy the product... X is screwed.... his price point just came down to A/2.

This is not Nehru Place or LR or SPRoad that you argue and haggle with the seller. This is a 1 -> 1 transaction and IF the buyer wants to negotiate, do it in private... so that even if you are doing it for crapping the sale, you CANT... cuz the other potential buyer DIDNT see it.

See my intentions here? This model is being implemented SUCCESSFULLY in one of the largest g33k forums (as well a very small one :P)

Ok if you have stopped LYAO :P

Private indivisual X has a "oh so cool music system" and wants to sell it . He puts it up for a price thats equal to the current market price for a used year old one .

One innocent buyer Y decides that the price is great...He misses the price drop that very week...(u know how ignorant some guys are)... and falls for the cunning or maybe misinformed seller..

Now if you argue saying "good for the seller, buyer should have been careful" then its a waste of time arguing with you...

IMHO if your price is fair u will get ur deal thru...you dont need to be "protected"...

peace :)
 
well ..

i wd say .. if there is anything unfair wid the pricing or anything for that matter .. fellow members shd notify the same in the main thread ..
 
Hmm, if it were a debate and I a judge, I'd say the vij wins, simply because I am a buyer first and a seller later.

But yes there should be some sort of a restriction to lowballing with in the forums itself, maybe a moderated deletion, i.e. the seller gets to delete a low balling post in his thread, but it goes into a moderation queue, a moderator has to approve the deletion. This way the mods dont need to keep taps on each and every thread either.

Ofcourse this thing has a potential of being misused making the lifes of the mods, so much harder.
 
^ Thats a good suggestion but A LOT of work for the mods

Good to see implementations of such rules :)

I'd also though of that but in that way, if the Seller is selling something fake or is misinformed about the market price and quotes a ridiculously high price and if other members were to post in his thread informing him of the same, he would jus delete their posts so that the potential buyer would not get the information.

Which again brings up Karan's suggestion of having only the buyer post in his thread which again is opposed by Vij's suggestion.. Lol.. This' confusing..

I think the current set of rules should stay. As we all ,as buyers, want to take part in the thread and ,as sellers, want no one to low ball. There's no end to it really..
 
I am +1 for only OP (buyer/seller) to be able to post in his thread.

See it this way:

--- A guy craps a thread... the seller cant do anything but reply negatively... "damage is done."

--- A guy posts a insane price on a product... Mods can intervene here, because now, they are helping the community out and no damage done.

See my perspective?

Regards,

karan

Nice move,:)

But 35 post should not be just like birthday wish, yes ten char, no ten char, ok ten char, thank you for info, bumpppppppp and so on....

if you (Mods) can not restrict or delete such posts than whole idea will be just fiasco and scammers :@ did their best with reputed forum like TE.:(

Nope, those rules are applicable sitewide. For all sections and any posts made.
