The Sell and Buy forum is completely fucked

[~Ray]

There needs to be a rule in there that you cannot bump more than 4 or 5 of your threads in a 24 hour period. Instead of making one content or domain sale thread and keeping it bumped, they make one thread for each set of content they have or for each domain they have for sale, then bump them all everyday.

That makes that forum useless for everyone else.

What? We have a buy and sell forum?

No, it's "Sell and Buy Forum", not "Buy and Sell Forum"

[ottopottomouse]

Completely wrecks New Posts too.

it certainly seems full of shit these days.

I must agree, some people make 100 threads and then bump them all in a day...

Wanna go on a date?

[tony286]

Someone should volunteer to be the mod for it but only if you have deleting power. That would clean it up quick.

[jimmycooper]

ninavain said what?

[Markul]

Or split it into a forum that sells content and one that sells everything else... content sellers seems to be what's flooding it these days.

The Sell and Buy forum is completely fucked

Agreed.

Furthermore, I think that GFY should charge a $20-36.00 per posting fee like other forums (WHT, WF, WickedFire, etc.), and allow one bump per month or whatever it is they do. It tends to vary, but I think most can see that in this economy, the B&S is getting out of control.

This would help to filter out the REAL BUSINESS from the junk cluttering the forum. People would not be so quick to make 50 threads for different complete junk domains, or other crap.

[MaDalton]

i gave up making threads there because shortly after usually 1 or 2 people bump their 50 threads before anyone gets a chance to see mine

[Markul]

Agreed.

Why $36.... why not $35... or $40.. WHY 36?! I need to know.... I cannot rest until I know why you came up with that number!

[ottopottomouse]

Just for comparison - a WSO is $40 to post and $40 per bump.

[tony286]

Agreed.

fredmiranda.com a photo site charges I think $25 a yr to post in the buy/sell forum they have.

[Klen]

No need to charge for it,enough to limit 1 post per day in that section.

[Barefootsies]

I believe that is what WickedFire charges. The prices vary by board. Some are higher, some lower. Some also allow you to bump the thread once per month. However, many others out there actually charge you PER POST into the B&S, and you now can see why. To eliminate the bumping and junk dealers. Some even limit how long it's live before it's locked. Eliminating the daily "bumps".

[selena]

Agreed.

I went there earlier this week, and the first few pages were basically full of posts from two people. One a content provider and one a domain seller. They were fresh posts too, not like the forum just hadn't been updated.

I didn't have time to dick around wading through that, so I just went elsewhere to find what I was looking for.

[ninavain]

ninavain said what?

I totally agree..not bumping my shit anymore..taking all package links and copy/paste into 1 thread and call it a day...sorry guys a few of us got bump happy

[cgiGeek]

fee or no bump, 1 per week per company

[chaze]

There you go, problem solved.

[jimmycooper]

There you go, problem solved.

Yeah, but that still leaves manilaagent.

[st0ned]

100% agree. Though I don't do much buying and selling I have snagged a few domains and stuff from there over the years.

However now when I look in that section I generally close out real quick because it is filled with nothing but ninavain's content among other shit.

Fix this GFY/AVN!

I already responded earlier...you won't see me bumping simultaneous threads any longer

[CyberHustler]

Totally agree

agreed, its out of control over there.

Hehe thanks for the clarification

[96ukssob]

I'll do it

[Matyko]

Count me in. Limiting posts/bumps per day could be awesome and very useful for both sellers and buyers.

[CIVMatt]

It's getting fucking stupid... either the bumps or the "I have hot-teen-girls-smiling.org and I'm asking $4000"

[u-Bob]

They should only allow people who've been here for over a year and have at least 1000 posts to start threads there.

[CaptainWolfy]

agreed! ;)

[rogueteens]

agree ....







.... What was the question again?

[Barefootsies]

True dat.

i agree Ray there are a couple doushebags make it hard to do business

[Just Alex]

simon and fitzmulti own sell and buy forum.

They are even trading passwords in there http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1070740

Agreed 100%

[PSD]

Agreed, although part of the problem is there is also too much stuff for sale lumped into one forum. How about a dedicated section for Buy and Sell and then have separate forums for domains, content, all other?

[halfpint]

its the sign of the times everybody wanting to sell

[V_RocKs]

Would also be nice if there was a up/down button on each post. Give it a 1/5 chance of actually moving a post...

Then if a guy bumps his 25 domain names and 50 of us call bullshit he is stuck at page 2...

If somebody has a very relevant product and 50 say yea, and 15 babies say nay, his bump will still work...

Somebody with a -200 negative average can't post... period.

But I also wouldn't mind paying!
