Er...free trade ad eh?

There has been people on here that has had work done by Steve www.motoscot.co.uk after I posted his site and put
endorsements up on here (yes me as well) so I cannot see a problem with a note telling people he has moved.

OK...

I would like to think that if a trader wishes to self-promote via a new thread (which is incidentally not in the Classifieds section where it ought to be) he'd have the courtesy to contact either Paul or myself by pm. I'm sure he's a decent bloke and does a good job, but for a trader to come wading in with what is effectively an advert for his own shop isn't great form imho. Most other forums would have hung him out to dry for doing the same. If he'd done it on UKGSer (for example) they'd be throwing him to the wolves by now. On a couple of hifi forums I frequent they actually charge traders for the right to advertise (think it's £50/year); I don't agree with that, but (as with Opie/Sandbar etc) there's some kind of up-front discount offered to the board's members which helps build a mutually-beneficial relationship.

I've actually been giving consideration to opening up a new 'trade forum' where traders can have their own ads, but to do so they'd have to openly offer some kind of discount (or incentive) to the Board's members. That way they get 'free' promotion of their skills/wares and it prevents stuff getting jumbled up in the melee of the private ads section.

As to eBay links to folks' own sales - I don't like it. However, the majority of people who do post up links to their own stuff have at least put up the kit for sale on here for starters, to give us first shout. By doing so it shows loyalty to the group and is one of the great things about what makes this place so good. If the sale on here doesn't work out then I don't see any real issue with an eBay link.

Big lads may have forced him? like they did me

Yes he is a decent bloke and does a good job and if he has done wrong why didn't you or Paul send him PM instead of
posting "Er...free trade ad eh?" as I am sure he was unaware of any wrong doing.

So it's ok for some people to try and bump there price up on items with eBay links, without getting a comment like "cake and eat it "

At the very least he contribute a tenner and become a subscriber

A fair point Bob but I'd always rather keep this purely voluntary, or rather folk shouldn't feel pressurised into giving, even as traders. I appreciate what you're saying though.

Shame we lost a couple of posts in the Great Crash - DaveG made some very valid points in particular. Steve (Motoscot) and I have share a couple of pm's and this is all a non-issue now anyway - at the end of the day it's good to have these sort of guys on board.

He's more than welcome to post up in the Trade section (once it re-appears!).
