Is there a for sale or for trade area?
No, not on this forum.
thanks
there is at modelwarship.com or just post on steelnavy.com.
Too bad we don’t have one like in Armorama. I have traded and purchased model kits there without a problem and it could be done here too. It would be something for FSM to consider.
This has come up before and I wouldn’t hold my breath. In the past it has been suggested that it has to do with ticking off companies paying for advertising.
steelnavy & modelwarships have advertisers but still have the sell & trade forum or just do a post about to do it.
My first thought, on seeing this post, was, “Did you read the forum’s FAQs”. Then I realized that there isn’t an FAQ list, per se. I did dig around and found this thread:
cs.finescale.com/…/144144.aspx
There is an item regarding sales, both commercial and individual in that thread. Yes, it does mention buying ad space in the magazines.
I think more than saying, “Well, the other kids can do it”, regarding selling kits, we should ask whether there needs to be a more prominent list of FAQs. Now I’ll say it: “Other forums have them”. An FAQ list should be prominently displayed, so that all members, new or veteran, can find them quickly.
I read that under section 5 but I would say I agree if someone is running a business, not an individual trading a model no longer wanted or thinning the stash for whatever reason. I have made excellent trades on Armorama which benefited myself and the other person.
Understood, but it’s their house, their rules.
I know but just making an observation since the subject came up. Sometimes the rules may change when enough interest is generated.
Escale has a “Swap Meet Area”. I used to post there until I moved here. It was really cool. You posted all of you collection (in a Excel-like format) and you could choose an option if you would consider swapping that particular kit. Or you could list as NFS (Not for Swap lol). I had better service with those guys than on ebay!
