I think it would be really cool if we had a B/S/T section.
I know some of you guys have some cool older hardware you're not using!

We used to have one but the word is there were a lot of problems with it... but if you post something on eBay you can link it.

I haven't been here long but I have seen a couple thread like this. Most of them say there was one but to many dishonest people and they took it down.
We used to have one. It became a place to scam a bit too easily. If you'd like to sell something, ebay it and link here, which IS allowed.
Shame, really. But the staff didn't want to have to sort out conflicts between buyer/seller so it was removed.

yeah, we had some issues with people buying stuff, sending money, then not receiving the goods, they complained to the Staff, we didn't want to get caught up in the middle of anyone scamming others, so we don't have that section anymore, although we do allow ebay posts, so if you have something you would like to sell, just toss it up on ebay, and then you can post the link here, it saves us alot of trouble and people can still sell their goods.
Please ignore this post was 1 sentence. Thank you.
Naw, we definitely don't have the FS/FT forum anymore, and probably for a good reason. However, I do think it should be ok to have links to Craigslist. Though it doesn't really have any methods of scam-protection, any complaints couldn't be directed towards the admins here.
More also, I like the way Techpowerup handles their for sale/for trade forum.

Ahh, understandable.
I guess it does get hard to manage once a site gets so big. AtariAge is another place that has a great B/S/T section, even though that's for videogames.

I will admit, however, when we had a FS/FT forum it was pretty cool, 'cause if somebody got scammed they'd end up with a LOT of angry TBCSers with their IP addy (and shortly after, all kinds of other info).
It's better without it, though.

That's no lie, it was downright creepy how much personal info was so quickly obtained and posted. And yes, like SgtM was saying even though Craigslist can be cool and you can find some good deals there, it's absolutely rife with spam and cheaters due to it's lack of control. The reason ebay is allowed is because they have a very well developed system of dispute control and everything is handled elsewhere. Down the road I would like to set something up where some selling and trading can be done again but it won't be for a long time.
