Hi all.

I've been thinking about this idea for a while.
My idea is to introduce a marketplace section in the off-topic area. In which members of the community can trade/buy/sell stuff from/to each other.
Payment methods should be arranged by users themselves, and it should show a warning, that TC wont be responsible for scamming etc.

What do you guys think of the idea? Pros/cons?

Maybe somthing the TC's could bring up for discussion?

Regards
Cola

Moved from General Help Requests to Server Suggestions.

On topic, we had that Classifields thread which had similar stuff, not sure what happened to that. Can't see any harm with implementing what you're suggesting, though.

I do like the idea of this, and sorry for my previous misunderstanding.

Sounds like a good idea. +1

Just to make something clear; it's a marketplace to be here on the forums, in which members of the community can sell/buy/trade stuff they own IRL to each other (not stuff on the servers like cars, setups etc.)

And that's why I made the thread in the General discussions thread. It has nothing to do with server or InSim suggestions to do imo.

My bad then, Cola. Misunderstood the suggestion.

I do like the idea.

Sounds good to me but [TC] can't be held accountable for any losses I think is the main point to put out there it should be at your own risk.

Agreed totally. As also mentioned in OP

This.

There is nothing to stop you from doing this already, so a dedicated section sounds like a brilliant idea.

As stated, buying and selling will be up to the individuals to decide on and finalise and [TC] will not be held responsible for any selling/buying activity in any way.

We could possibly make it so that the area is hidden until you have a certain number of posts in order to show others in the community that you are at least established within the community, but I like the idea Smile

Adampower · 2012-09-26, 22:18

What street said, im on another forum where it works, and it will be well regulated.

100 posts minimum to post...

Great idea!

Even better! Smile

So far this is the 'rules'
• TC wont be held responsible for activity regarding buying/selling/trading
• A user here should have minimum X amount of posts here to gain access to the area, otherwise the area is hidden.

Also; May I suggest a score system? Example:

Buyer = B
Seller = S

S has got an object for sale which B wants. B buys the object, and rates S from a scale of 0-100 of how the trading went.

If you dont know what I mean, go to eBay and look up something and find a seller. Often they will have a number in % standing next to their name. This rates how trustworthy they are.

i was reading this, and i'm always on TC but i dont use the forums i only have maybe 10posts in the 2-3 years ive been registered to the forums

After discussing with fellow team members, 100 minimum posts its not needed, for the hassle of it, sometimes when the forum updates there is a bug with that feature, and we don't any spam for people to post in there.

Sounds pretty reasonable Wink

Cola · 2012-10-08, 15:07

So, not to rush on anybody, but has anyone got an update on this suggestion? Had it been discussed among TC's? Smile

means that it's being discussed, doesn't it? Wink

Cola · 2012-10-08, 16:00

Yeah, but that message was written 12 days ago. So I thought I'd see if they'd found out of something by now Smile
