The "For Sale" area

Just wondering, as there is an increasing number of non-VAG/motoring sales going up in the For Sale section of the forum, would there be scope for a secondary For Sale section which deals with non-VAG stuff?

There are some guidelines at the top of the FS thread regarding items for sale:

Just a few....

1 - The 'For Sale' section is for VAG / Motoring related items only. To sell other items, please try www.eBay.com. Non VAG / Motoring related items will be removed.

2 - When an item has been sold can you please post stating this. Your post will then be removed. This saves space and stops people contacting you long after you've sold the product.

3 - When a post gets old, it will be removed. Please feel free to re-post if the item is still for sale.

4 - Please try and support For Sale adverts with a picture. This gives people a better idea of what there buying. For help posting pics, PM me.

5 - Please try and avoid going 'off topic'. If you wish to discuss someones car or a product, please do so in the relevant section. This will make navigation easier for new starters.

6 - Please do not post telephone numbers (especially mobile numbers). This forum is open to anybody and this sort of information is easily mis-used.

7 - If you do not intend to buy an item that is posted for sale, please do not waste the sellers time by posting on that topic.

These are not critisims and are not aimed at anyone in particular. But the size of the forum now means we need some ground rules.

Thanks in advance

I'm not against anyone posting their goods for sale and I'm not having a dif at anyone - far from it - we could all do with the extra cash and the free space! Just though maybe we could seperate the motoring and non-motoring items? It has worked on other car forums pretty successfully! Obviously if this is a lot of work for Josh and the admin team, then... no worries, let sleeping dogs lie and all that malarkey.

What do you guys and girls think?

Cheers

Yeah.

I think:

-Cars for sale (inc other makes)

-Parts for sale

-Wanted

-Miscellaneous (non car stuff)

yeah just add another for sale section where you post everything and anything else you have for sale...

Mind you it could be a total disaster and people could be selling toothpicks and what not... But yeah Misc section would be cool.

One thing though about point 1

1 - The 'For Sale' section is for VAG / Motoring related items only. To sell other items, please try www.eBay.com. Non VAG / Motoring related items will be removed.

It would be www.ebay.co.uk

Alternatively keep it as it is and just advertise your stuff else where.

After all is a Car Forum (<- to justify selling other makes of cars that my appear on here).

After all it was obviously intended to be that way and didn't want it contiuously bombarded with other stuff.
