I'm buying not selling, but I do appreciate this site enough to pay a few bucks.
For me the problem with sub-forums is that just browsing the forsale forum I see stuff that I didn't know I was looking for. I would never find it with a bunch of sub-forums.
Wait, maybe we do need sub-forums, then I won't buy as much stuff.
Are you sure your not a psych patient?
Jerry,
Gold membership for constant sellers is a good start. But I do agree with some other posters and I have tried to champion this cause many times. Sub forums are long overdue. They do not have to be over done, and by that I mean cues, cases, books/videos, other... you don't need to go into customs, production, 100-400, 401-800, all that is a waste. But just coming into those little sub cats would reduce the clutter immensely.

people who don't want to wade through many pages of listings can always post a Wanted To Buy WTB: thread giving sellers an idea of the type of cue and price range and, rather quickly, cues that match your criteria will be showing up - unless of course they have their heart set on a $350 inlaid Tasc. :grin-square:
best,

well aren't you just an AZB whore?
you are buckin' for that JB case, aren't you?
good for you! VERY GOOD THREAD!
i finally bit the bullet a month ago. it was midnight, and i was tired of spending most of my time managing my maxed PM box. i had been meaning to go GOLD for months. done.
it's only $36 dollars....
and for all of yáll SELLERS - this is called "bird-dog" money. i'm surprised it's not mandatory for yáll. if you can't afford $3/month, then....
Well, didn't this train run off the tracks. Uh, guys, look. We really do not take down threads in vengeance or to pick on any one individual. We take them down because someone screws them up or breaks the rules. And I an seriously not going to spend time trying to investigate why an individual post was removed.
So if that bothers you then please feel free to continue using all of our forums in any way you wish and I am sorry if you feel picked upon. It is not intentional. We do not want anyone to go Gold who is in any way uncomfortable with the idea. We are twisting no arms and throwing no guilt. We like you guys, even the ones who complain about us.
The idea of the sub-forums is a good one. At least I like it. But I do wonder how many potential shoppers come into the forum not really looking for anything specific and wind up impulse buying something they see there. I was in the market for a $400 cue when I bought one that caught my eye for $1300.
I fear all the sub-forums might cost you guys impulse buyers. And I do not know how many different forum areas potential shoppers would visit. So think about that and give me some more input.
What I would like is for V-Bulletin to develop to the point that you could search for a price point and it would reorganize for that search. But I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Remember, this is not our software on the forums.
Talk to me!
But let's not this thread just go to hades. Can we still encourage those who do not object to the idea to go Gold?
Thanks to all of you who have and to all of you who take the time to give us your thoughts.
