Anemia Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I like the "For Sale" section and would always look for what was for sale and have bought several items through the ads on there. If you are looking for a "For Sale" section try volvoforums.com. The have one and it's been getting a little more popular.I agree and I sincerely hope it's not lip service that things are going to get back to normal with the classifieds. I've purchased several things in the FS forum and I miss it. It was a real resource and to change it to a subscription service is very unfortunate. As you can all see, I don't post much, I mostly just read since you're the ones with the knoweledge and I'm the one with the broken car...Oh well, as long as I can't look for parts for my 850 I can always head over to tbricks and find the stuff I need to fix up my 240.

JimKW Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I don't care for that auction site at all. There are no pictures and very little information. I don't want to bid. I liked the classifieds much better. craigslist.com seems like a pretty good place for buying and selling, but there is quite a bit of crap there, but it's free.

And there are pictures if the sellers upload them. I cannot control if the seller is savvy enough to upload an image just as I could not before..

RedTurbo850 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) The current system sucks because the Classified section is slow (since you have to be a supporter).For the auctions, there's only like 20-30 things on at a time, and a lot of the stuff you might not even want. Plus, you either wait for the auciton to end and bid, or you do the buy it now (which is usually a lot higher than you might want to pay).I think one of the key things about classifieds on forums, is the feedback aspect. The buyer doesn't need to send a PM (which almost seems like you're committing to buying) and the buyer can ask a general questions that many others may be wondering about. Plus, other members can give feedback on the product. So we can know if said part is great, or if the price is terrible and you can get something brand new for cheaper.This is the only site that I'm on that has such a system in place, and there is definitely a discrepancy in For Sale posts here. I like this site a lot, but the selling section seems to need fixing. I'm not so sure most people like auctions. And i mean if they honestly want to go by auction, you list it on Ebay.I understand there is a revenue aspect (paying for a store), but I think I speak for the majority of people when I say i'm not a huge fan of the auctions.Edit: I don't know how the old system was, or how well that worked, but this is just my 2 cents from my time on the board.

Mustang Champ Rules Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 does anyone want mustang rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 does anyone want mustang rims?Wrong topic chief. You're gonna want to advertise those rims in the VS auction area, or if you become a supporting member, in the for sale forum. (You cannot post a new for sale ad without a supporting membership, though auctions are free to all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azjohn Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?a...&CODE=index...and I'm a new registered user looking to BUY a Volvo, but I see nowhere that any Volvo CARS FOR SALE are posted anywhere. I see parts but no cars. I did register for the "auction" thing, but there's only a single posting. One. Am I missing something?...Just a shopper looking for a Volvo... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
