Suggestion: Great Deals Forum

[ShmengeTravel]

I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but I think we should add one more forum to the market. A forum where if you see something say on ebay, that's a really good deal that you aren't going to buy but you think someone here might, you could post it in that forum. For example: I know I'm always on ebay looking for specific games, and I couldn't count the amount of times I've seen showcase cabinets with Marvel vs Capcom 2 in great condition go for $200 USD. Now I didn't have room to fit said cabinet in my house, but someone here might have liked it.

Basically, I'm requesting a forum where if you see a great deal on something, you post it so people here can buy it. Obviously we would need to make some kind of sticky letting people know that the things posted in that forum have nothing to do with the poster, but I think this can really come in handy.

What are your thoughts on this?

not a terrible idea. Doesn't really warrant a new forum tho. Subforum to Everything Else?

You would run into several instances where people would link to their own ebay auctions. Not everyone's ebay name is the same as their account name on NG.com.

But I fail to see the problem... there are several PC forums that have selling of members products, as well as a great deals forum so people can post other auctions they've found. Who cares which forum they post their stuff in, it would be pointless to post your items in this forum, because it wouldn't matter. At least this way if we see a dedicated 4-Slot in mint condition on ebay going for $300 someone knows they have a place to post it here.

I could definately see it as a sub-forum, but not it's own.

Terrible idea.
