For sale thread?

[Stephen Rainsbury]

I know that 009 sales is temporarily dormant (which for me is a good thing at the moment!) but are we allow to sell stuff here?

It is just that I have some duplicate books and a few models that I was going to put in eBay, but I would rather sell them here is that is allowed.

NGRM allow sales, Stephen, and you'll reach more people over there, most of the members over here are on both anyhow (no disrespect to here, just fact). I did wonder about the question, though, but I felt that it would be undermining the Sales Stand. Though whether it could be introduced until lockdown finishes... Even then some people wouldn't be able to get out to post stuff!

Woolly answer, it's up to Julian and his fellow Directors I think!

Stephen,

Thanks for raising this idea. I've put it to the committee so we can sort out the pros and cons. Hopefully we will let you know soon.

Regards, Julian

We (the committee) had an email discussion yesterday about this idea, but we've concluded that we don't think it is the right way to proceed.

While at first sight it is another service we can offer members, there are already multiple other ways in which things can be sold, either on line, or, if you wish, through a 'small ad' in the 009 News. Adding a new method doesn't seem necessary and the market here is limited anyway.

Sorry, if this disappoints people and thank you, Stephen, for raising it.

Thankyou Julian, I understand.

I was trying to avoid eBAy and other online markets as there is an annoying charge to to seller. I have sold through Facebook which is free, but you don't always know who you are trading with.

But thankyou for considering it.
