yeah,
so i posted a thread in the classifieds for sale section, and was expecting it to get deleted...which it did. the post was for a non-car audio related item (green day concert tickets, to be specific) so why don't we start a general buy and sell section in the classifieds. i'm sure that people have a lot of other stuff that they'd like to sell other then car audio and these forum's are a great way to do it because you usually can trust the person a little more, and there are no ebay charges to worry about.
just a suggestion, but i think it would be really useful in the forum. that way, it would classify the classifieds a little more!

Ya, I was the one who deleted your thread. IT was one of those borderline ones that I didn't really want to delete becuase it probably would be of interest to alot of people on the board, but I had to stick to the guidlines.
If we did make a non-car audio related FS section, where do you draw the line? Washing machines? Antique ash trays? Everything in between? I dunno...I kinda like the specificness of the FS as it stands.

Coffey they already had an arguement about this one Car Audio Only
I like Chevy's suggestion however it is an idea. Someone selling a washing machine on here is ridiculous tho Fat. Your right about that.

i see NO need to draw a line...why not have just a general buy and sell - anything goes (well, anything legal that is).
for example, on another site that i post on (VW club) they have sections and even subsections for selling things for VW's and then one general section for anything NOT related to VW's. the general section is actually really popular because people can sell junk they want to get rid of to get $$$ for their cars, and people can sometimes find some stuff they want for really cheap!
i just think that selling stuff amongst members would be a good idea since we are all friends and kinda know one another - therefore transactions would be a little safer...

I gotta agree with Coffeyman.....Y does there need to be a borderline if its a general buy & sell area.........I also go to several VW sites with this kinds thing & find it quite useful as since your usually dealing with someone you have already dealt with the trust factor is already there.

Well fact of the matter is this isn't a vw site. Nor is this www.selleverythingunderthesun.com. This is CanadianCarAudio.com. I don't see a need to plug up the board with non-related items for sale. Use Ebay, thats why its there.
