tomturd Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/buysell/ Following on from a thread in the For Sale section, I've added a new 'BuySell' system to the forum which should make it much easier for buyers to find items, and easier for sellers to keep track of their adverts. This is only a trial run, but for all intents and purposes (I don't really understand that phrase), you're free to start using it. We'll be trialling it for a month or so. If it turns out to be rubbish or not suitable for us, it will be scapped. So please start using it so we can see if its worth keeping or not The for sale forums won't be affected, at least until we've made a decision on the new section. Suggestions/feedback welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Looks well smart, i'd be more than happy using that from both points of view! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danfoss - BANNED Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 WARNING! YOU MUST ATTACH AN IMAGE OR YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING WHEN YOU SUBMIT THE FORM. (working on this..) Keep that, don't change it. Should be a rule of the forsale secion is to post a photo of the item proving it's real, condtion and saves asking exchange of PM's, e-mails etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Had a look at your ad tom, I like the layout and the quicklink to other items for sale. I'll hopefully get time to add my for sale thread in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbanggg Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Looks good What section would bash guards go under? And sprockets? ...Or am I being thick (More than likely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Looks good What section would bash guards go under? And sprockets? ...Or am I being thick (More than likely) Gah, I dunno. I stuck it all under drivetrain. But suggestions very welcome on how to split it up better. I feel like forks, stems, handlebars and headsets should all be under the same category, but I don't know what to call it... probably missed a load out too!

JD™ Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Can I suggest a 'Control' section for Bars/Stems/etc or put those bits in the 'Other Stuff' section? Loads of bars and stems go through the system... I'm sure you've thought it through though! EDIT: Otherwise looks amazing, gotta say.

Skoze Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Can I suggest a 'Control' section for Bars/Stems/etc Absolutely, have a look on CRC if you get stuck, that's all broken down into categories that make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ooh, that's swish. 24" tyre added partly as a test (but actually for sale!). Can I suggest (if possible) including the sellers feedback in some form in their respective adverts? Just as a percentage positive or whatever? Edit: I guess the reputation gives some indication to a seller's character but feedback would still be cool. Tom- your question confuses me!!

Luke Dunstan Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Impressive. Really nice layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Just added my hub. I like it! But I can see it being abit annoying if you have lots of things too sell. Personally I think I could put up with that though. EDIT: Also what happens when the timer runs out? Does it automatically close?

Nick Manning Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Looks really good, better than I expected. So easy to find parts. I like how you see a image, a title and a price, nice and clear. I do to have the question of what happens when the time runs out? Are you able to set the time length? Are you able to end/close/cancel the advert once the item is sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to end/close/cancel the advert once the item is sold? When the time runs out you'll be given the option to repost it. If you don't repost it within 60 days it'll be removed from the system (keeps everything tidy) The time length is 60 days, thats not editable (well, i can edit it globally) You should see a 'close' button which you can click once the item is sold, at the moment this seems to remove it from public view (although you can still see it under your listed items) but I'd like to change that so people can see the items no longer for sale.

Fair enough, sounds like you've thought of everything. Just see how it goes. Hopefully it will be successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb88 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Very nice, I like that a lot! Will be much easier to find bits and also sell bits without having to bump the topic all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Update; Apparently you can't go back and edit your post(s) after a short while - any chance to change this at all to allow error fixing/reducing prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmacca Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Couple problems i feel need to be inc and fixed ( i know its just been brought to life ) just thought id mention them I think personaly Rims should be inc as people sell rims on there own alot Also i feel the missin edit button on the questions & answers need's to be inc and a BIGGIE the questions and answers needs solvin, like 1 colour for a question and 1 colour for an answer in different box's as there both merged together and both pink what makes it hard to read a little. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/buysell/item/6-sram-x9-shifters-and-mech/ not havin a moan just givin some pointers and tips i really like the PM when someones replied to a post or question ( but does it also do it when someone replies to the add and not you? ) all the best paul Edited April 13, 2011 by madmacca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howvard Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 thats reallly nice, just need more people to start using it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 What do people think about including a 'views' counter? Not sure if it's of much use to anyone but the seller I guess. Still think feedback on the advert pages would be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
