Items for Sale/Wanted or Free to Collector.

06/02/2010 - 12:24

Earlier this year, Danno99 made a suggestion that maybe there was a need for a general 'For Sale and Wanted' section. Think quite a few people thought it was a good idea and Valentina was, I thought going to set it up. That was many months ago. I still think it would work and like many others I have spoken to we would rather circulate than hoard or just chuck out. Would be nice to hear an up-date as to progress or if a problem ????

.. great idea.. again!!!

As far as I know, it is going to be set up.

Looking forward to take part in this, now that we're in Italy now.

It's a why not in my view................ but there will need to be ZERO comeback on Italymag if the sales/freebies don't work for individuals. It would be nice to hear from the adminstrators to say whether or not it will be actualy happening, and if so, when? S

Very tempted to post for my need of a carpet/rug shampooer!!

I'm after a 'Wilkinsons' swoe ! and will have lots of blue iris's free to collector....

Bags some of the Iris plse, and you can have some of my Poiniana (Caesalpini) Gilliesii, which you can propigate from seed. Anyone else in southern Marche welcome to have a go.

It's a deal.... Maybe we should just post as normal things for Sale and/or Wanted etc, maybe penny will drop ????

Valentina, Not sure if you are around or not but an update from someone/anyone in admin would be welcome on this posting please. Thanks.

I PM'ed Ronald and Valentina about this shortly before your post - hopefully something will be done.

Hi Guys, as Patz and me (in previous thread) have said, the new section is already on its way.. just a little more patience, thanks!

Thanks for update Valentina, was just flagging it up again as your previous reply had said it was being set up and would take a couple of weeks......Forgot that here time scales are somewhat flexible.....Looking forward to seeing it up and running. Thanks again.

Hello again. My wife and I are now down grading and moving to a smaller place.... We have things we need to sell. How can this be done? Can I put up a list? Or should I wait for people to contact me through private messaging? Wouldn't like to break the rules.

Colonel Mustard...............I think the new term for downgrading (?!) is 'right sizing' Ha!!............. I tend to agree with alan h..............just do it, put up a list.........worst case scenario your post will be removed......good luck! I think if you put the list up, you will at least get some contacts even via pm-ing? S

I've just set up [subject to administrator approval - so it may not happen!] 2 new groups. "Articles For Sale or Free", and "Articles Wanted" Hopefully one of two things will happen. either the ADMINISTRATORS will get off their collective b*ms and set up their own [proper] Groups, or mine will go through. Either way, we should have some facility in the near future [Or, they could block it] [sits back and waits ................]

I have been waiting patiently and I didn't realise it took so long to set up an area to sell on. Does it involve a lot of work? I have no idea about setting up these things. Just an old duffer. Lets hope it works as time moves on...

Sorry, but where is it and how do I access it? Old duffer shuffles off a with reddening face!

Think it's got lost in the 'Beach Bag' Colonel, wait till the weather gets worse and someone gets in the office. I have a fine antique table for sale that is increasing in value and will be worth a packet when the section eventually gets online.

Colonel Mustard [welcome back Sir] asked Sorry, but where is it and how do I access it? Old duffer shuffles off a with reddening face! Once a Group is proposed it takes a couple of days for 'Admin' to approve it [or block it]. But as they have previously approved the setting up of such Groups as "Those who think that Mr B is an idiot", I am certain they won't delay these two I have proposed [Pigs may also fly, and England win the World Cup]

I would imagine that somebody with the skills could sort out a new 'topic' in literally minutes (not hours). If they cannot the whole system has been set up incorrectly. It may be an approvals issue whereby a process is in place that requires one/two/three or more people have to approve it? Also, as I have mentioned before, there MAY be legal issues with buying/selling on the site, what if the sale goes wrong..............who is responsible? I sympathise with the administrators, it may be that they need a list of 'can do's' (without approval) and 'can't do's' (withous approval)..........surely they've thought of this ??!! And lastly..................administrators should really just RESPOND to the users(customers) saying that we are looking into it and an announcement wil be made on a given date, giving the reasons why a decision has been made. S

I do think it would be nice and right if someone would supply more info......to say things are or not happening...Is that just not the right way of doing things ?? Alan H seems to have the skills....is it soooo complicated ????? Dont know, just asking...............

No Sprostoni, down grading is what I meant. Mrs Mustard recently went to Ikea and had a road-to-Damascus experience. She has ordered a load of self-destruct orange boxes with unpronouncable Swedish names like Terp, Swarg & Blott. She now insists that my grandfather's Hepplewhite & Sheraton must go, along with my comfy old deep-buttoned leather armchair and settee, inlaid mahogany and amboyna wood card table.....even the antique Persian rug. Where will the dog sleep?! With me in the dog-house I suspect..

Colonel Mustard...............I am saddened, you have (I suppose) to take some responsibility yourself, as, during the interviewing process when selecting the (at the time) future 'Mrs', surely you covered in detail the 'I'm always in charge' area of questioning? Good luck............ S

Nobody told me that I was supposed to be the one who chose. Can I seek a rematch?
