For Sales Forum

[swafeman]

just wondering if theres a for sale forum here ? i normally sell my stuff elsewhere and just lurk here, but ive got a couple of 3 ghz e0 prescotts which i thought the overclockers might like, cos i cant shift them elsewhere :(


is there a for sale forum here ? i cant see one, but most places restrict it to only people with a certain amount of posts

[Jupiler]

Yes there is a for sale forum.
But it only can be accessed once you reached 100 posts.

[swafeman]

ok, cheers for that :) long way to go i guess

[Jupiler]

Nah, it comes faster than you might think.
Check the several sections, and see if you can contribute in a positive way to one of the many, many topics, you'll reach 100 posts in no time.
Spamming is of course not allowed. ;)

[winston64]

is that misterious PC ICE cooling thread in that for sale thread? Ive tried going in but it says Im not allowed

[Jupiler]

Only items that are for sale are in the classifieds/for sale forum.
I doubt that his topic would be there.
You mean the Venice 3500+ topic, right?

[winston64]

nope, I meant the link in his sig that says GET YOU"R PC COOLING HERE.

it leads to this:

:mad: I somehow lost my account the last time I got close to 100 posts...

Saves you a bundle though, you're likely better off not knowing what's for sale :rolleyes: Every time I've gotten into a f/s section, I'm broke before i can get out...

You've got me curious what's in that thread tho...

Aha,
that's his Black Box Cascade, the same cascade OPP uses for his great achievements. He put it for sale about 1 month ago. Unit is sold though.

[Bennah]

Yea, it was a thread showing his services as a Cascade builder and showing some of his work etc.

[Gray Mole]

Awesome, it's good to see the occasional bit of custom work available to buy on occasion...

To own a piece of OPP's handiwork would be worth it at any price...

Its funny ive asked the same question.

I apologise for that....this place didn't use to treat new people like [H] does. :shrug:

[perry_78]

I apologise for that....this place didn't use to treat new people like [H] does. :shrug:

:woot:

I think the forum treats new people very well indeed, in comparison to some danish forums I know.

However, if someone asks a question we all know the answer to, then the answer is to be expected.

I didn't mean to directly insult, merely wished to make a "lifte eyebrow" gesture. I could have chosen :stick: instead of :slap:, but it all comes down to the same thing.

mvh.

[Nosfer@tu]

Doesent matter. Im juse to that kind of happy answares ;)

I just tried to make a contribute to the thread, as I my self have been woundering about that. And I understod that it tock a 1000 posts, And how am I to know if that true or not :)

And seing another newcommer adding a comment about my system just says more about him than me.
But no Insult taken ;)

[perry_78]

Tjah, I had many brilliant posts such as Dont Set Yourself On Fire had, until Saayaa told me to read the forum rules :D

Ever been on HOL (hardwareonline.dk)? Thats what I call :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana:-forum :toast:

[TheDude]

:woot:
However, if someone asks a question we all know the answer to, then the answer is to be expected.


If we all knew the answer to it there wouldn't be anyone left to ask the question, would there?
The person asking the question doesn't know the answer and where you might have heard the question a thousand times, it's probably the one and only time that they have ever asked it.
It doesn't take any more effort to help a new person with an old question than it does to humiliate them in front of strangers.

Welcome to the forum Nosfer@tu :toast:
I hope you don't let one bad experience keep you from having a lot of good ones here. :up:

And BTW....that should have read 100 posts not 1000...it was a typo I guess.

[Nosfer@tu]

I allready love the fora, and have been on alot of the other english foras for a long time. Just never posted in here that much "In denmark we would call it (ærefrygt) honour fear "

But Im diggin it TheDude :p

And BTW i have never been baned on hol.dk or any other danish foras. I accualy where a news write on another site in denmark called tweakup.

The girl is calling, Have to do the dishes :p HEHEH enougf off topic :toast:

[winston64]

I bet hes just gonna move to some other oc forum and complain about how he was treated here :stick: :ROTF:

[JackTheLad]

[Gray Mole]

Gray

[JackTheLad]

yes but you still haven't replied to my question:)

[Jupiler]

To make things clear for everyone :

You'll need 100 posts before can access the Classifieds section.
In that section, you can sell your stuff, or start a new topic in the "Wanted" section (which is located in the Classifieds too).

Other than that, there's no other way to buy/sell your stuff.

Using your signature for selling/wanting stuff isn't allowed either, you'll get a warning for that.

Like I said before, if you visit the forum frequently, and contribute as much as possible (without spamming around of course), you'll have 100 posts in no time.

[TheDude]

Jack...you need 100 posts to post anything in the classified section. After you get 100 posts you can post that in the "Wanted" section of the classifieds

OOPS JUP BEAT ME TO IT :D

[IFMU]

if i'm looking for something can i start a thread in for sale forum, or it's not allowed?
Yes there is a Wanted section you can post in the classifieds. Once you reach 100 non-spam posts that is. ;)
What part of "you must have 100 posts" do you not comprehend? :slap:
No reason to be rude, just asking a simple question.

Agreed. After some thought (and not particularly friendly PM's to The Dude) I see your point and my mistake. The last thing I wish to do is discourage new users from XS.

O wait never mind ... missed that one in this thread lol.

What do you mean? :D

[saaya]

just what i said :)

[J-Mag]

Btw, am i trippin or is there no way to edit you FS posts?

[saaya]

theres no way to edit them so nobody can change details or mentioned prices later :)

i suggest you use the preview button to preview and check each thread you make in that section :)

[J-Mag]

Well what happens if I want to decrease the cost of my FS item? Do i have to start a new thread?

[IFMU]

There are 2 methods. You can either PM a mod to edit in the price change or you can post in the thread stating the price drop.

[skate2snow]

J-Mag, Thats the point... The original information on the thread needs to remain intact. You just need to bump your thread with the new price or updates. And revelant updates like SOLD Items will be changed in the original post by mods normally.

[Daveb2012]

Does this forum just appear im past 100, I was never trying to get their though I dont really care about the for sale forum right now seeing i just spent a ton on this computer and have nothing to sell but just curious...

[skate2snow]

The server updates every hour, but sometimes it happens that it bugs and you only have access 2 or 3 hours after...

[perkam]

So many questions to which :doh: is the answer. :(

Pretty simple, you reach 100 posts, you scroll to the very bottom of the webpage, and you click on the "For Sale" link here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=89

Congrats, Bob Barker is gonna let you bid on a fork to stick up your nose for not knowing how easy this was. :shakes:

You need to chill out and take it easy on new members. Its not always as simple as just looking down, because sometimes the server doesn't update right away. You may have to wait an hour or two sometimes.

Spamming is of course not allowed. ;)

just a heads up jupiler, take a look at amd4me in the computer case section. now thats what i call spamming to me.

why are we pointing fingers at those who spam, i say worry about the integrity of your posts not others. Unless of course you are a mod.

Probably because they don't want the newbs trying to strike deals by bypassing the forums and sending PMs instead.

I have a long way to go, but I think it'll be worth it to trade with established members. Hopefully that means dealing with more experienced builders and fewer lowballers. Trading on Hardforums and Anandtech is driving me crazy :D

Eric

Are you saying that PMs would be disabled for anyone under 100 posts? Because I don't think there's a way to check if someone is sending a PM just to someone on the for sale forum. So that would mean it would be disabled completely. Somehow, I think the system works just fine the way it is :)

I won't even comment on the frivolous post part :nono:

[AMD-me]

:yippie:
for sale!

[skate2snow]

Can we do price checks in the sale forum?

I have an X800XT PE BB ATI with a Koolance WB on it, and I am thinking of selling it. I don't know what it is worth to someone here. The for sale on the forums is a limited priviledge... I doubt they would really want to put time in it for tools like that.... Which I personnaly think, arent worth.....

[skate2snow]

I understand why there is a limit to post in FS but why do you need 100 to browse through it? Ok, if you are under 100post and is browsing the for sale because you would have the permission to BROWSE and see a VERY good deal.... What will you do? For sure you will PM ASAP!

And anyway, the priviledge to post in the forums is only a part of the priviledge... The real one is being able to see it, because anyway, any deals should be dealed and conclude by PM.

[DCR]

The for sale on the forums is a limited priviledge... I doubt they would really want to put time in it for tools like that.... Which I personnaly think, arent worth.....

What tools?

I don't mean for the forum to install some type of price checker.

I meant, can I go in the FS forum and say, "Hey, I have this vid card, and what it is worth used to someone here."

[saaya]

hmmm for that you would have to start with a prciea nd then lower it bit by bit if nobody wants it until somebody pms you :)

[DCR]

hmmm for that you would have to start with a prciea nd then lower it bit by bit if nobody wants it until somebody pms you :)

Yeah, I guess that is the best way. I can't get a good picture of the damn thing...I have watercooling and don't want to remove the card for a pic, and I can't seem to get a good shot while it is in the stupid case.

Problem 2? The card I have is a retail Built by ATI. Through price checks online, they still go for about $70 more than a Sapphire OEM version of the card. So...do I price it compared to that, or to the one I own? That may sound dumb, but unless someone has to have ATI stamped on there, they can get the same card new for less than mine used.

[saaya]

1. a bad pic doesnt matter, the pic is sjust as aproof that you really have the hardware your selling, as long as you can see the card on it its ok, bad angle blurry dark doesnt matter.

2. the difference is quality control and support i think, wich is better for the bba cards. but im not sure. just start with a higher price and mention the same thing you said here, that the cards cost more in retail. if you dont get any feedback you can lower the price bit by bit :)

[Hans.Gruber]

You will need a 1000 post to reach that post Im told
Let the spamming begin !

I got some Intel MB's to sell, got those from some german hardware site.. :rofl:

your question has been answered several times already :D
the server updates every few hours, so it can take some hours, sometimes a day until you get access :)

[Kazoo]

Actually, the server updates hourly. Once you reach 100 posts within an hour, you will have access.

[saaya]

some people said they had to wait for several hours, sometimes we backup the database or perform other changes to the site, so it can take more than one hour :)
it should usually be less than one hour though, yeah :)

I sold it to a buddy of mine for $400 shipped, so I don't need to worry about it anymore thankfully. I will know for the future if I need to sell anything though.

[Davos]

100 posts!! damn i got a long way to go

[^don.k's^]

As they said in this thread, the way isn't soo long, whenever you get realised, you'll be with a lot of post's if you get online frequently ;)

[bachus_anonym]

You guys need to realize that you've come here not to get 100 posts as quick as possible and gain access to For Sale section. You're here to gain, share experience, help eachother and maybe break some records (at least personal ones. Ability to see and post in For Sale just comes along, as a bonus for your being part of the best OCing Community on the Web!

Don't forget about that in your chase after 100th post...

[perry_78]

Yes, one does not join a forum simply to spam his way to gain access to the classified sections.

Needless to say, at best you will simply waste money down there :D Today I began by wanting to get 2 xeons home. I ended up getting xeons, motherboard, HSFs and a 9800xt :rolleyes::D

[Disposibleteen]

lol thats not entirely a waste of money, at least u got some nice stuff out of it.

[Davos]

haha believe me im not here for the classifieds, i havent got enough money for that ;)

i am a mod on another ocing forum but some of the things that go on in this forum are world records...gotta be a part of that :D

[pablo]

how do you place pics on the thread you create, you know where you can see the pic when you open it thanks

[Davos]

use img tags

{IMG]ENTER URL OF IMAGE{/img}

just replace { and } with [ and ] respectively.

[Mr_Slinky]

or you just manage your atachments or host them on a free site like yahoo pictures or imageshack

[MeltedDuron]

i came here for advice and knowledge origianally, but now i'm kind of an intermediate, i really like helping the new people, and it kind of feels good knowing your helping people with there problems. i'm nearly at 100 posts and i think it's a really good insentive to help people, and share experience(i think my wallet disagrees tho ;) ).

[jason32287]

Yeah it feels good knowing that u helped someone with something. Kind of like voluntering somewhere you don't like it but after the work u really feel like u made a difference. And yes computers are too freakin expensive.

[MeltedDuron]

yeah, although so far, me new rig is only costing £300 because i got the prommy on ebay for £150, but still, i should really be spending that money elsewhere, so i'm gonna try and get sponsorship (only watercooled comp ive ever seen in pc world was a mac g5 so........).

[jason32287]

Not bad at all. Good luck getting a sponsorship u need a awesome setup and record overclockes but with with the right support and determination you can do anything u set your mind to, right??

[MeltedDuron]

i sure do hope so... when i first started reading these forums and built my first rig i dreamed of working for a company like VoodooPC; Now my cabling is up to their skills, and i'm building some kickass rigs, i might get featured in a magazine like CustomPC. Hopefully then somebody will read it, go on my website..... you get the idea.
PS: I love the attitude jason :toast:

[MeltedDuron]

WOW!! here it is!!!!!! My 100th post!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D i hope i've earned it...:party:

[jason32287]

I find it kind of funny how your 100th post was a double post. But oh well it makes a little sence because it kind of fits the whole discussion.

Anyways, congrats, now go buy something.

[MeltedDuron]

lol, sure will.... now whered i put that rainy day money (even though were in the middle of a heatwave) lol

[jason32287]

:D Question is what to buy.. :D How much do you have??? I can help out :D

[MeltedDuron]

lol, i'm pretty much broke right now, but i'm gonna sell some stuff while/after i build my new rig so theres probably going to be a bit of stuff coming my way soon....

[jason32287]

Yeah I have a bunch of crap that I need to sell also. I just have to list it all. But I can't get motiviated enough to do it.

[MeltedDuron]

lol can totally relate....

[Blinkme323]

I can't wait until I can access the for sale forum. Long way to go.

[jason32287]

DOn't worry you'll be there before you know it.

[Major]

< 98 !

[Major]

<99 ! almost !

[Major]

<100 ! :banana:

[Major]

^^^^^^^ You mean there is more to it than that ? :D


You guys need to realize that you've come here not to get 100 posts as quick as possible and gain access to For Sale section. You're here to gain, share experience, help eachother and maybe break some records (at least personal ones. Ability to see and post in For Sale just comes along, as a bonus for your being part of the best OCing Community on the Web!

Don't forget about that in your chase after 100th post...

[MeltedDuron]

and i thought that I posted some bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:.... ;) oh well your a mod so i guess you can

[Dromedary]

:mad: I somehow lost my account the last time I got close to 100 posts...

Saves you a bundle though, you're likely better off not knowing what's for sale :rolleyes: Every time I've gotten into a f/s section, I'm broke before i can get out...

You've got me curious what's in that thread tho...

Gray

lmao, i know how you feel. i do like 90% of my online shopping in f/s forums, mostly nvnews.net (this is kamel from nvn btw)

[BerT]

never heard of the for sale forum :p

[Kazoo]

For the record, anyone I catch spamming to get 100 posts, I'll automatically reset your post count to 1. ;)

[dippyskoodlez]

For the record, anyone I catch spamming to get 100 posts, I'll automatically reset your post count to 1. ;)

I think it should be put to -100 :D

[Cerberus2k7]

Yes there is a for sale forum.
But it only can be accessed once you reached 100 posts.

Ok, so this place and OCForums has the 100post limit. What other forums are like this? [H]? I'm sooo used to OCF and i'm now going around to more sites.
:slap:

[Timothy730]

once you reach 100 posts do you automaticly get into the for sale forum or do you have a wait a day or two for a mod to let you?

[Quazi]

I am sorry. I do not understand why there is a post count to be able to purchase items for sale. I can understand why there is to sell. People have to feel comfortable that they aren't going to get ripped off. But to purchase, why 100 posts? Why not 1 post? As long as the check clears the bank or the PayPal balance is tranfered to the bank, it should be a done deal. I am no where near 100 posts, yet I am a frequent reader and I participate when I have something to contribute. So instead of being able to make incredible offerings to m8's here, I have to sell on ebay, in which I have 50 feedbacks @ 100% positive. I am fixing to have to list a 3500+ in a retail box that has been used in my rig for 4 months, plus it comes with the remainder of the 3yr warranty for $100USD off of the current retail price. I could list it for a bit more, but I need a quick sale. Same for a brand new X800XT that has never been used, and this will be an unbeliveable low price. I would rather have a chance to offer it to these m8's that I actually interact with as often as I feel like I have something positive to contribute, rather than a strager I have never had any interaction with, know what I mean? I understand rules are rules. And I have to abide by them. It's just that 100 posts for a m8 like me will take a while. And in the meantime, the members here will be missing out on some great deals that I have from time to time. That's all.

[Cerberus2k7]

^^You can still use other peoples credit cards and whatnot. At least when you've been on the forums for a while, the people have a better feeling of who you are and what you may try to pull. :nono: :slapass:

[marvt74]

Snipity the long post


I dont think its about trust to be honest just to stop people coming on here and only using the forums for buying/selling rather than actually doing anything to benefit the community.

Plus its a waste of bandwidth if just anyone was able to use them

[mtb856]

Hey Cerberus... nice seeing you on XS :D

I completely agree with the mods choice of 100 posts..... it's tough to get there, but it gives the members of the forum more time to get to know you and how you act. I won't buy from someone I know is a pain in the butt on the forum just because I feel he doesn't deserve my business.

Personally, I would have made it higher but then that might drive off some good sellers.

[shinymod]

i just noticed i've ticked over the 100 post mark... so i thought i'd check out the for sale forums... but i still cant get at them :confused: any ideas?

[bachus_anonym]

i just noticed i've ticked over the 100 post mark... so i thought i'd check out the for sale forums... but i still cant get at them :confused: any ideas?
Pleeeeeaaaaseeeee... Could you read thru this thread before asking this question? You passed 100th post 20 minutes ago. Go back few posts and read what other mods and Admin say about it ;)

[IFMU]

i just noticed i've ticked over the 100 post mark... so i thought i'd check out the for sale forums... but i still cant get at them :confused: any ideas?
As said before, if you were to read the thread there have been several posts that answer that question already.
A few quotes to point that out.
Just wait an hour or two.... This question as FREQUENTLY been answered....
The server updates every hour, but sometimes it happens that it bugs and you only have access 2 or 3 hours after...
read this thread please ;)
your question has been answered several times already :D
the server updates every few hours, so it can take some hours, sometimes a day until you get access :)
Actually, the server updates hourly. Once you reach 100 posts within an hour, you will have access.
some people said they had to wait for several hours, sometimes we backup the database or perform other changes to the site, so it can take more than one hour :)
it should usually be less than one hour though, yeah :)
Sometimes it is a good thing to actually read a thread before posting in it. ;)

Now, go surf through the classifieds and find something to buy! LoL

[shinymod]

i apologise... :( i read a couple of pages and got bored... *embaressed* its really not something i usually do... sorry >.O

[IFMU]

And in the meantime, the members here will be missing out on some great deals that I have from time to time. That's all.
Now I know this is going to be a rather common question that some people just wont get.
1st off, we do it because most trolls wont bother sticking around long enough to get to 100 posts just to sell something. There are plenty of other forums they can post right away, so it makes it slightly tougher on trolls.
2nd, It gives other members on the site a chance to get to know you a little bit. Its not alot, but a touch.
3rd, We as Xtreme Systems Staff have discussed and agreed this is a worthwhile move to attempt to make our classifieds safer for our members.
4th, Xtreme Systems is not a classifieds forum. It is a forum for like minded people to share their thoughts, views and accomplishments on computer hardware. The classifieds are simply a way to help our members by providing a safer place to do buys/sells/trades.
Finally, like it or not, it is a rule that is here to stay, accept it or deal elsewhere. ~_^

Sup meatball :p

And I think 100posts is fine enough. Mods are pretty good at catching people simply *bumping* threads and whatnot to get to 100 quickly.

[Vapor]

I think we should make it 200 posts so I can have a celebration post and complain why I can't use the For Sale forum until it updates :D.

Another oddity about the FS forum: posts don't count for the post count it seems??? I noticed a someone there had 101 but like 5 posts in the section and then noticed that when I posted it didn't go +1.

A recommendation for the FS forum, like the regular forum, is to have a 'free' edit for the first 2-3 minutes or so (but acknowledge the edit, unlike in the regular forums), then lock it.

[IFMU]

The limit to no editing is stayin the way it is. Just an FYI. ~_^
As for the no post count, no, they dont count in there, or in a few other sections either. To easy to spam in those places, so no counting.

[perry_78]

THe no editing and 100 post limit are fine enough, both have a valid reasonm which I believe has been discussed a few times by now :)

I think the chat section should not count to the overall post forum, I'm horrified when I see I have a 6+ posts a day average primarily due to that place :p:

[BigStan]

I think we should make it 200 posts
No No No! It's hard enough to get 100 posts when everyone on the forum is smarter then me.... They all seem to reply faster with better answers then I can come up with. :p:

[Vapor]

Well I passed 200 anyway. Already made 2 deals there too...250 maybe? :D

As for the editing, I still don't see why a 2 minute window isn't allowed....even after previewing, etc., I still notice some word I misspelled or some detail I forgot or something I want to add or messed up on some formatting stuff (this should never happen with preview, but w/e). The small 2 minute window prevents people from making drastic changes to save their asses in whatever way they might need to do, which I completely agree with.

Anyway, I'm not really pushing for a rule change, but I'd just like a clearer explanation why a 2 minute editing window isn't okay? btw, I'm not talking about 2 minutes to decide to edit, I mean 2 minutes to COMPLETE the edit

I'd actually go for 2 minutes after you post you have the option of editing.... because I make a lot of errors in my posts or I forget to put the prices in, something always goes wrong. Interesting idea anyway.

[Danger30Q]

As you can see from the number of posts I've made on this forum, I rarely give my 2 cents on comments made by members. However, I must say it's extremely ridiculous that you would limit access to the classifieds just b/c a member has not posted more than 100 times. Cash is cash and it doesn't matter if it comes from a noobie like myself or a veteran member. Actually, if you think about it, a much higher price would be had from the noobies for a few reasons: 1) noobies have not acquired the "skills" to make custom things and are willing to pay top-dollar to have something they want, 2) noobies likely don't know a good price from a rip-off. I really think the admins should re-evaluate their policy on 100+ posts. Just b/c I have made few posts on this forum does not mean I'm clueless as to what I am doing, plus, I'm willing to spend more money on top of the line custom jobs than 99% of members.

[bachus_anonym]

You need to understand that XS is NOT a place where everybody comes just to trade. This is one of a kind Forums and Classfieds access is sort of a priviledge. It's not [H] (nothing against them) where you sign up and boom, you're trading (at least it used to be like that, not sure if still is, though...)

Look around, please. We want you to contribute to our community not just use it or take from it ;)

:welcome: to XS... and be helpful...

So the 100 post rule should be dropped because it prevents people from taking advantage of noobies? That's just one of the many reasons it is in effect and a ridiculous arguement for dropping it. :shrug:

youtr right it doesnt matter who it comes from. but it does matter when your trying to sell a $900 CPU or buy one and someone rips you off. 100 posts keeps trolls away better.

[Danger30Q]

If payment is through Paypal and a bank account is being used with a confirmed address (not a credit card), the transaction is as good as cash delivered straight to your hands. This would only be the case if a veteran member is selling to a noobie (not vice versa.)

[jason32287]

I think that anyone should be able to browse the For sale forum, reply to threads, and purchase stuff, but you should have to have 100 post to be able to start a new thread.

Reason behind this. The seller can't get ripped off. Just the buyer.

[Shadowmage]

I got 100 posts but I still can't see the FS forum :(

EDIT: Yey, waited a while, and now it's here :)

[CCtaylor]

Now as I would like to sell some cooling stuff, It is strange that you need this many post..

I mean I understand but somebody who is just looking to sell will post anything just to get to 100 post :(

Ok see ya......CC

[red_dragon]

haha I really really need to get to 100 posts. It's very true 100 posts keep trolls away. Like in ocforums they have the same policy. So less trolls. Unlike hardforums...and anandtech........................

As has been stated time and again, these rules are set in place to protect the members of the forums. They have been debated on time and again with members and staff alike. They are there and they will not be changing. Your best bet is to either accept it and contribute here until you read 100 posts or deal elsewhere. ;)

I've been on these forums forever and only have 64 posts or so...haha. I see some people that have been here a few months and have over 100- SPAM!

I guess I just read a lot and only post when necessary. By searching I can find almost any answer I need so I rarely am forced to actually ask a question. Because of this, I wouldn't be surprised if I don't get to 100 posts until 2006.

[Rickster_64]

Is the for sale forum laid out like the main one, with seperate sub categories for ram, cpu, etc.?

[Davos]

most probably not, possibly sub forums for usa, europe etc. maybe the suspense will help you to post more :)

[totensiebush]

Its laid out by type of item for sale/trade.

[texuspete00]

7 pages on this? Holy crap!

Do you guys go to people's houses and tell them what to do? Probably not, so why this?

I'd close it, but tomorrow a new one would open asking where the fs forum is, and when you could see it. ;)

[Silver Fox]

I would like to see the classifieds myself, but I don't really post here much. I read a lot, but barely respond, and I've been here for a few years. Is it possible to give individual permissions or something, cause I don't want to spam 100 posts just to see it...

[IFMU]

Sorry but no. If we made exceptions for one we would be swarmed with requests to make exceptions on nearly everyone. It is not hard to post quality posts and reach 100 posts in no time at all.

SamHughe, nice try on that btw. ;)
Next off there are tons of other forums that dont have that sort of limit on their classifieds. If you must get rid of your items and absolutely cannot wait, nothing is stopping you from going there.

:D :D :D didn't work though.

[goatman]

to make a for sale forum work, you need strickt rules. at overclockers.com.au we have a for sale forum and it actually works verry well. We have 4 or so people to moderate the fs area alone cause it's a lot of work making sure everyone does the right thing.

[saaya]

fortunately most people here on xs are very uncomplicated to deal with :)
and most dont need to be reminded of the rules, but yeah its a lot of work to keep the fs section clean.

[Vapor]

Well, I'm sure it's a lot easier now that we can't post responses....that was a good idea.

IDEA: what if there were a selection of 5 premade responses that we could select from and each could only be used once or twice or something and would count AGAINST your post count....1) Pictures please! 2) Dibs! 3) Got heatware? 4) YGPM 5) Good price! (or something like those)

you cant "use" those unless your ion the fs/ft section anyways.. I dunno why you have that wierd idea..

I don't go in there as much any more. Seems boring. There wasn't a lot of crapping before. I think sometimes the banter has sold some things. I remember buying my prommie hearing something like "Oh man killer deal, if i lived near you I'd buy that." I thought to myself yeah that is a good deal.

There was a thread like that in the "Forum Comments" section and it got merged with a thread in the "For Sale" section so we can't post on it anymore.

I feel that they don't want us to talk about this anymore though since they basically closed the thread by moving it to a section we're not allowed to post on anymore. I'm not sure why this happened either, the conversation was very civil, and it was mostly just an opinion/idea exchange thread.

Can we advertise our items on e-bay in for sale section? I, for example, would like to give xtreme forum members extra 10% discount if they bid and win my auction so can I post on the forum and say "hey I have this and this on e-bay and here's the deal"?

No you cannot do that. Please read the forum rules for a full description.http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/announcement.php?f=120&announcementid=38

Apparently to reach 100 posts, you can just post in this thread about 75 times =P

If you choose to do that, you'll never see Classfieds section ;)

Upon a closer look at recent posts in this thread I think that all that was needed have been explained here...
That's why it is now gonna be locked.

To summarize...

1. There is a Classfieds section here on XtremeSystems.org Forums.
2. To get there one needs 100 posts and there are basically no exceptions to that. So don't even ask :)
3. It usually takes few hours for our server to update one's permissions after 100th post was reached.
4. After that period of time, Classfieds section will show up on the very bottom of our Forum Index.
5. You can start selling/buying/trading then.

After gaining access to Classfieds section you can express your opinion about it in this thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=74085). It's open for posting and If one can't see it now (no permission to access page error) it means that one has no access there due to below 100 postcount.

:welcome: to XS and have a nice ride :)
