<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SorterX, post: 1235366, member: 30717&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I would prefer an open forum, Want to buy (WTB), Want to sell (WTS), and Want to trade (WTT) system.&nbsp; IMO, the Classified area is just not getting the traffic it needs to be useful for those looking for a good alternative to FeeBay, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to recommend checking out the Classified section of another forum I follow, ScubaBoard:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/scuba-marketplace/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/scuba-marketplace/" rel="nofollow">http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/scuba-marketplace/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They have a feedback rating system for members who transact over there, and it seems to be working really well.&nbsp; Since I&#039;ve been a member, they have actually broken out the Gear/Equipment classifieds into different categories (regulators, BCD&#039;s, wetsuits, etc.) where it used to just be all the ads in one forum.&nbsp; I think it works great.&nbsp; I think it would be even better if each gear category was further broken down into separate WTB, WTS, and WTT sections, but I&#039;m still happy with it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These are very good suggestions.&nbsp; The ScubaBoard allows users to close their own marketplace threads after the transaction is complete, but having a time limit on incomplete transactions (or those threads were the OP just seems to disappear...), with automatic closing of the thread, is a great idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s my two cents, heh, for consideration.&nbsp; Hope it helps... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
