I'd agree with that ( in case anyone cares what I think ) I reckon Glenn and everyone else who tell us first about a box( or any instrument) for sale, is doing us a great favor.
It probably should stop at music related stuff, though, although, if you're selling your truck, etc., don't you tell your buddies first?

Agreed BJ but, you aren,t selling a truck 2 or 3 times a week on a regular basis.

I ran into someone at a festival two weeks ago that had a Jr Martin C box brand new. He bought it new and decided a few months later that he was never going to learn to play.

He wants to get as much money back for it as he can. It's in perfect condition. (but understands that he will lose some $$) I can try to get some pictures and a price from him if you are really interested.

Let me know.

See, I told you this is the place. Of course I am very interested. You can e-mail me privately with the pictures if you want. I was in contact with another forum member but he hasn't sent me any photos yet.The management maybe can set up another part to this site and charge a fee to list. It would pay for everything. Jerry

Totally opposed to "fee listing"

this should be a " you are on your honor" type of deal


let's keep it simple if we are to do this at all..

On concertinanet I listed 2 accordions last year.. one sold thru them one did not.. I paid them 2% on both..

What is everyone walking on eggshells for? This is a silly waste of time. NOBODY MINDS POSTINGS ABOUT ACCORDIONS FOR SALE (at least nobody worth worrying about - insert evil grin here). And even if someone doesn't like them (extremely unlikely), all they have to do is resist the urge to click the link to the post they don't want to read.

Please, let's stop this nonsense.

I don't see "walking on eggshells" and I don't see "angst"

ghis is such a small group and presumably friends to some degree with a mutual interest

I have never been put off by boxes for sale here..
I might if a full blown dealer was hawking his wares but a player or enthusiast hustling a box.. no big deal and a service to other players.

When someone suggested that there be a For Sale section.. cool but not necessary
When someone suggested a percentage kickback.. cool but not necessary.. not as if the "board" mandated anything... it was just a generous suggestion..

If it is going to be done at all... on your honor
screw rules and paying a fee to list..that is too commercial , moreso than listing a box

No eggshells, no angst

Love that verbal advantage : )

Instead of a percentage kickback or fee, why not just make a "Voluntary Contribution" to help cover the cost of keeping this forum up and running?

perfecto
