USED GEAR changed !!!!

Postby Toby » Wed Feb 12, 2003 4:42 pm

Since this is an international site, the Used Gear forum for selling and buying your used stuff became and will get even more confused.
You have to view a posting to find out in which country it is sold.

Now I changed this and almost every country has its own forum for posting their used gear which they want to sell or buy.

You can even post or report stolen or lost/found gear in there.

Make sure you write in the headline something like for sale, looking for, stolen, lost or found and then the product.

The postings will be deleted automatically if there hasn't been any replies within 20 days.

I strongly recommend to post it in your country language and in English, since many people will look aroundf for used gear even from other countries!!!

Any comments, suggestions or questions? Please ask!!

Hi Blizz,

most buyers of used gear buy within their country.

But if you are looking for a special kite, you can choose the search and here click on category and type in the model you are looking for.

no, not really.

But it is alphabetical, so it is no problem to find it.

And at the end you will find all "Other" for countries which are not listed.

don't you think it is easier to be scrolling a bit then searching in every post in which country this or that gear is offered?

I guess it is easier, but I might be wrong.

Hi Toby
I'm not sure that people are so concerned about buying from the same country as they live. Right now I have a guy from Estonia buying a AR5 from me.

The search and category system sounds fine though.

Hi Toby;

Good idea with splitting into countries, but I'm missing the biggest one:
----->LUXEMBOURG<----- :lol:
Maybe this is the way to found out if there is another one from my country using this forum. Or shall I make a new topic in the forum.

Thanks a lot if you can do anything about that.

Mich
